"I like to think that I made a huge impact on these kids. Especially being bilingual, I know that the few kids who had language barriers were able to actually be explained the material they were expected to learn, which is huge since most teachers aren’t bilingual to the extent to explain math and science in another language. As the kids warmed up, I could sense the eagerness when I went to a classroom. A prime example would be walking in a class and immediately hearing “Miss! Miss! Come over here, I need help with this”, and the only issue with that was that there was only one of me with about 5 different students asking me at the same time. I know the youth felt the support considering I would get “why are you here?” I would reply that I simply want to be. “So you don’t get paid for this?” And in turn, I’d explain the internship, and out of all the opportunities I had, I wanted to work with them. It really startled them but their demeanor changed and it’s almost as though a wall was brought down and they allowed me to help them even more. For the youth, I think it was important for them to see that people are willing to put in that effort, especially as a volunteer and know that we do it for the mere reason to help them. "
