Day 17
Date of Service: April 29, 2011 Time Spent: 1hr Total Time: 25hrs.
Action: Went around the school during lunch and signed kids up for the booths of:
- Face Painting
-Snow Cones
- Bracelets and Necklaces
Next Action: Come May 5th for the Carnival
How am I doing? I was able to interact witht he Students of Marina Middle School today, it was fun. Three girls helped me go around signing kids up, their names are Jacky, Bianca, and Estella. I was amazed on how sociable they were, they got along with pretty much everyone from the school. We were very successful in getting 33 kids to help set-up, clean-up the booths.
I noticed the unity of the teachers with the councelors. I was able to be with Irene when she would call down the students who had F's and I noticed that all the kids were very eager to bring them up, I also noticed that Irene would let them do most of the talking instead of vice-versa. She let them decide on what they would do to raise their grades instead of her telling them what to do. I asked Irene why she did this and she said it works better for kids because they come up with their own solution to the problem. I am so eager to come back May 5th!

How am I doing? I was amazed at the amount of kids there was! They have a beautiful gym, bikes and skateboards, I was completely shocked when I saw that they were riding bikes in PE. Overall Today was beautiful, I got to meet more of the staff- Mr. Ortega, who helps Irene with the naughty kids.
The kids were very nice, I noticed that the trouble-makers would hang around at the counceling office, they would answer the teachers with attitude I was shocked by this because the teachers would keep their calm.

Action: - Made tissue flowers.
- Helped kids with homework at the afterschool program.
Next Action: -I plan to keep helping kids with their homework.

How am I doing? I have been making a ton of colorful tissue flowers, we are going to decorate the whole place with flowers. The girls who are in the club go to the afterschool program and help me make flowers for a while and then I help out kids with their homework.
I have been seeing how Irene works with her sixth graders and it really does inspire me to become a councelor, even though at times I'm terrified of all the work she has!
