Volunteer, Be A Big Brother or a Big Sister!
Selfie of me and Roberto studying Kindergarten Math! I want to thank those of you who filled out the volunteer's application to be a Big Brother or a Big Sister, words can not express how proud I am of you! I know that this will be a life-changing experience. Do you remember my blog posts last December about how I volunteer? I wrote to you that I was teaching a little boy how to read. His parents do not speak English and his mother asked me to work with him on school work at night. Well, meet my little buddy, Roberto. Roberto is a bright and very loving little boy. Last night I was helping him with his math homework as you can see here in this photo. It might not seem like much, but it does make a difference in his life, especially in the area of his self-esteem.
I am so busy with teaching 300 teenagers a day, graduate school at night, exercise, time with friends and family, church, but I still find time to volunteer, I always have my entire life!
To me, the most valuable part about volunteering is that it helps me get my mind off of myself and allows me to think of the needs of others, thus making me a more giving and less selfish person. Most of the time, people never see all the things that I give or volunteer for, but I know. Knowing that you make a difference in this world is empowering and it gives meaning and purpose to your life.
If you have not turned in your application to be a Big, please reconsider and turn it in! The Team Leader for BISS of Broward County is Ofelia DeLuca. She will be returning to my classroom next Tuesday, April 28th at 2:30 to give another presentation on what it means to be a Big. Please plan on attending so that you can learn how you can make a difference in the life of a young child. Love you guys, Ms. B.
