Today was my second time at the Easley center. I got to help a few of the kids with their homework, which made me feel more useful than last time. I mostly helped a little girl with her English Grammar homework. I felt kind of awkward because I was a little shaky about the answers! It was difficult for the little girl to focus because the other kids would come up and distract her. And I also realized that even though the kids are friends, they make fun of each other non-stop and are constantly picking on one another. At one point "my" little girl threw a pair of scissors at the boy who was teasing her. If the boy had not ducked, the scissors would have hit him square in the face!
An other thing I noticed was the maturity that some of the kids had. They were only about 7 years old, but they behaved and talked like they were 14 years old. Gossiping and being sassy, I was a little bit uncomfortable because they tried to ask me personal questions and I would try to direct them back to their school work. There's never a dull moment!
