Who are the Students?
I haven't had the opportunity to get to know the kids I'm working with too well as we usually just play games with them outside the classroom. They got to ask us questions once but they didn't really learn anything about us since they asked pointless questions. Although I learned that most of the kid's oldest siblings are in middle school just like one of my siblings was when I was their age. I found this cool I guess because I was literally them not too long ago. Other than this I honestly don't remember anything else they told me, I tend to not like children but I can manage. When I go out to work with a child I can usually tell if they're going to be shy or outgoing by their body language. Though since I was once (kind of still am) shy I know how it feels to be uncomfortable around older people. Knowing this I try my best to make them as comfortable as I can and try to break the ice with our given amount of time. This can be hard because I get nervous to talk to them as well. The outgoing kids can be a lot to handle sometimes, they seem to have no filter which can be annoying. They're often funny and the kids I work with end up teaching me more than I teach them but at the same time its good to let them explain it so they can have a good understanding of what they're doing.
