This has been a busy week in Asheville! There have been a lot of college fairs this week at nearby schools and we have all been recruiting people for the education department and feedback has been great. One prospective student was really excited that we offered Latin and German with the opportunity for teaching licensure so that was great. It really is amazing how many different interests there are out there! Today I was at a college fair that had 8th graders at it, they wanted to start exposing the students early to what it was like to prepare for college, and how many choices there were I guess, which I think is a good idea.
In other areas this week I was doing my tutoring at a local high school where Barack Obama had spoken over the weekend. A lot of my students were there so were very excited to be able to talk about it. It was awesome to see how excited they were in politics and interesting that they already have such strong opinions. The students are now really getting use to having us (tutors) there and we are developing good relationships, which allows us to really get along well and communicate. It is definitely helping to prepare me for what I will be experiencing as a teacher in my own classroom. It has been another crazy week, but also very rewarding!
