So, I finally managed to help my fourth grade Lil' Wayne fan/master burper receive his first A on a Math test this year and write a paragraph that actually stays on one topic, but now a whole new challenge presents itself. I have to teach a first grade student how to read when English is his second language. No problem. No pressure, (sigh). I have to present a confident front in the presence of my students and their parents so they will believe their tutor will magically save the day, but behind the scenes I don't know if what I do will work for them. My stomach is always tied up in knots.
I should feel happy that I have the opportunity to make a small impact on the next generation yet the anxiety of it all is clouding my outlook. I feel alone with my heavy responsibility, like I could use a fellow Irish person to help me sing away my blues...
