No Foolin' I Think She has Found Her Calling....

And I do believe she has known all along. Erin has said, since she was about 5 years old, that she was going to be a teacher. The grade level and/or subject has changed a few times but her goal of teacher has remained constant. At this time her plan is to teach high school history. Well last night she worked her first official job as a tutor and, I do believe, she was great. A neighbor up the street had asked to have her tutor her in math, as a paid gig. I was a bit apprehensive and not sure it was a good idea. This girl is a year younger than Erin and they are friends. I wasn't sure Erin would be able to separate tutoring from social hour. Well the first session was set up for last night at 7PM. I did give Erin one piece of advice--set a timer, or her phone, for 1 hour and make sure that no boy talk or giggling occured until after that hour was up. She seemed to like that advice. At 7PM the young lady came to our house and the tutoring session began. I didn't stay in the room but I did hear a bit from upstairs and came down once to get some water. Well let me tell you--I was impressed. Erin remained professional the entire hour (actually they went a bit longer) and was able to help Jessica understand math. They did not goof off and actually helped Jessica get through her homework. Erin did NOT do the work for her but showed/taught her what to do.
When the girl left I told Erin I was proud of her. I was actually very impressed by her. I know, without a shadow of a doubt, Erin is going to make an amazing teacher one day--whatever subject she chooses.
P.S. If your child needs help with math (pre-calc and below) call Erin. She is reasonable and good!!
