MY first BLOG.

Even though, I visited my school Hope Community Charter way back in February, I still remember my first day. Sarah and I got off the CUA- Brookland Metro and walked a good 15 minutes to the school.. We finally got to the school and met with Meredith Henne, the school administrator. Meredith Henne was rather sweet and understanding when we arrived 20 minutes late. Arriving into the school, my initial reaction was why am I here? The school seemed to be in great condition with happy children. The hallways were covered with artwork of the kids, making them colorful, ultimately, creating inviting learning environment. I was hoping to help in the classroom, but Meredith Henne had other plans. She explained to us that the school was very disorganized and she needed help sending out enrollment forms. The first day, I sent out enrollment forms. It was quite disappointing. Heading to school with thoughts of working with younger children, I came out without feeling fulfilled. I really had thought that I was going to be a teacher aid, helping the students with their worksheets or projects. We didn’t even tour the building during our first visit because we were late. We sat in a conference room, stuffing envelopes with enrollment form. I had no desire to do office work; however, it ended up that way.
