My Tutoring Job


            In my junior year I became a tutor for elementary school students in Salvation Army's After School Program and worked four days a week after school. I really enjoyed doing the job because I could help the children with their homework and was able to earn enough money for my own expenses. The challenge to me was that I had to have a bible lesson for the children every Friday. Basically it was included games and songs that I must think of for them. Since I have been in the Youth Fellowship there for two years, the pastor trusted me enough that I could get this job done well. The pressures were all on me. .
             It was my great pleasure to do my best to let the children know more about Jesus, but at the same time; it was very difficult to me because my bible knowledge was limited. Besides that, I had never taught anyone in my life. All the sudden I had 28 students; it was incredible. Fortunately, there were many useful teaching materials (pictures, crafts, videotapes.) that the church supplied to me that helped me make the teaching lessons more efficient and interesting. I had to prepare everything for the story before Friday. That was where I started to take things seriously and started being mature. By doing this job, I learned to take on more responsibilities and be more organized. .
             I had three students who were six years old. They were pretty good friends and always played together. The problem was every time I was talking to the class, they whispered to each other on their seats. Their action bothered the rest of the class. I warned them a couple of times but they seemed to ignore me. I was kind of frustrated at that moment. And later I thought that my job was to make them be positive; I shouldn't be mad at all; this is what God wants me to do for Him. I was to play a role model and guide these children to His way. And I believed I could do it. So the next Friday I told them to separate from each other and during the refreshment break, the pastor and I had a private conversation with those three.
