Rain, Rain Go Away

First off, walking to class soaking wet is getting old really fast. Normally, I love the rain. However, trekking thirty minutes to a political science class with freezing water pelting your face is not my idea of a good time.
By the time I made it to tutoring today I was not in the best of moods. I was definitely not looking forward to babysitting 17 year olds today either, but sometimes your assumptions can be way wrong.

Without fail, the same student consistently disrupts the class and wastes time. However, with a stern warning from his teacher, he actually sat down today and went to work. There were moments when his attention would waver, but overall, he stayed on task.

I was really impressed with his work ethic today and his reaction to authority. Instead of arguing he just sucked up his pride and did what was asked of him. Towards the end of class, I sat with him for a while and talked to him about college. The experience made up the best part of my cold, wet day!

  1. Ughhh...I hated it when it rain for like three days straight. Every time I stepped in a puddle I wished that I had rain boots like the many other girls around me. I am glad that your day went better when you talked to the student about college. It sounds like you are really making a difference. -Taylor-
