Monologue

In my life, I want to achieve many goals. As many of you know, I volunteered at the salvation army. It had the biggest impact on my life. I worked with second graders all day long from 8:30  in the morning to around 5:30 in the evening. I devoted so much time in this activity because I want the kids to learn something in some aspect. I dealt with an ADD kid over this summer, along with six other kids. The ADD kid troubled me because he needed a lot of attention that I couldn’t give him. He constantly would not listen to the lesson and ends up playing around. He would play around with his water bottle and bang it against the table. Sometimes when he is copying notes, he would just suddenly stop and stick his eraser in his mouth. It was hard to deal with him. I wanted to so a one on one teaching session  with him but it was not possible because he wasn’t the only student. I tried my best to teach him the lesson. Although I  hated teaching him because of his disorder, I also felt bad for him. I wanted him to do well and learn something. I ended copying the lesson for him so that he can concentrate on the actual classwork. That didn’t work out so well. He still needed someone to watch him and make hum work. If nobody was next to him, he would just do nothing, in e end, I had a volunteer try his best to go over the lesson with gym as I taught the class. I taught both math and English so that was two hours back to back teaching. As the program came to an end, I noticed that he had learned something in my class and I felt relieved.
