Classrooms work I did for a semester had to do over 40 hours each semester, and an afterschool program such as boys and girls club I worked mostly with young children and just helped them to do homework and keep them entertained till their parents or a guardian. lot of my kids in the school system they had mental issues so it was very rewarding work, I learned the best way to watch the way I talk and how I put my sentences together to have what I say so it doesn’t makes the kids upset and helps them understand where Im coming from so they are all happy.
