My experience in Americorps has been great so far! Everyday I am able to help tutor kids in Math and learn teaching skills from Mrs. Vogler while practicing them daily. I love the Middle School aged kids and have been able to gain a better knowledge of what I would like obtain a degree in. Mainly from day many kids have questions about their assignments and so I assist them while Mrs. Vogler is teaching the lesson.

First week

For my first few days in Americore I have done work in fundraising for our new initiative to combat child obesity. This event is called Child@Play and its a statewide initiative. In my attempts to organize this event, I have written personal business letters to many managers around the area and will deliver them, answering many of the business's questions while I do so. These business's I am contacting will have a great impact on our day and should have a great influence on the people attending.
