This past school year I became a tutor for Reading Partners, a program where I was able to partner up with an elementary student and help that struggling individual improve their reading skills. This is the path I chose in order to complete challenge no. 21 (permanently and positively enrich the life of a child without financial contribution).
My experience was insanely positive, and yesterday it was made even more so when I received the results of our volunteering:
"We are pleased to announce that 88% of students served accelerated
their rate of learning."
These are pretty outstanding results, especially considering that this was Reading Partner's first year in NYC.
I performed one of my many jigs in celebration.
LOVE.
