Muncie Public Library

On Mondays and Wednesdays I volunteer at the Muncie Public Library. I tutor students from grades k-5. So far I have only gone twice so I am still a little new at the whole tutor thing. I have never done it before so I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I went yesterday and it was my second day. I brought my car down this weekend so I could drive myself to the library and make sure to be there on time. Well, map quest did not give me the right directions since they told me to turn on a street that does not exist anymore!! So then I decided to call the library to get better directions and they confused me even more. I have an iphone so I decided to put it to use and try to figure out how to get there. All of a sudden my phone went completely black, just my luck. I do not like getting lost because it totally freaks me out!! I drove around for a good hour before I finally found the library. I was a half an hour late at this point and I felt very stressed out. Luckily my "boss" was not mad and was completely understanding about the whole situation. I did not even have to tutor kids but instead played games with them and read them books. It was very fun. I worked with a boy named Mercer who was in the first grade. He was absolutely adorable and full of personality! My boss gave me directions on how to get there so next week I wont get lost! Hopefully....

  1. That completely sounds like something that would happen to me. I get to start a volunteer project this Friday. I get to volunteer at a place called the Enchanted Play Room. It's similar to what your doing and I'm really excited. I'm really excited to meet all the little kids.
