I enjoy working as an after-school teacher. I teach approximately 10 to 13 students who require further academic support. I start my afternoons by passing out snacks, and we have a bathroom break during this time. Then we spend approximately an hour doing homework and participating in learning activities.

Since I have been employed at the complex, it has been an amazing experience. I've picked up a lot of knowledge and abilities from those around me. I have made an effort to be a good influence on my coworkers, community, and the students in at ACEC while being an administrative assistant.

As a Substitute Teacher, I was able to meet many amazing students and teachers. In the mornings, I helped the class with their morning work and groups. I made sure to enforce classroom routines to keep students on schedule and operating at consistent level. I also was able to file papers and grade homework from the students. During their lunch time, I assisted the students while they ate their food. In the evenings, we had resource classes where I assisted them as well.

Coronavirus has changed the lives of many people. I was given the opportunity to tutor Hudson Lewis. He chose to participate in virtual learning during the 2020/2021 school year. Throughout the school year, I had to construct lesson plans for his schooling. I was able to teach him new subjects, help him with homework, and I prepared athletic activities for Hudson to participate in. I also provided him with academic stability this year as well.

During my senior year, I was able to work in the front office at Appling County Primary School. I answered phone calls, managed radio calls, and I helped with multiple types of paperwork. I enjoy working in an office setting. I get along with new and familiar faces everyday.
