成人快播

For many of us, experiences involving books are among our most treasured childhood memories. Carol Miller, account manager at Brocade in San Jose, CA, is no different. Carol remembers a childhood full of books with strong female characters and facts about nature. She remembers building forts just to have a quiet, secluded place to read. Carol even remembers resting in her mother鈥檚 lap as her mother read from Three Billy Goats Gruff.

Despite already being an active volunteer with her church, local animal shelters, and the Second Harvest Food Bank, her love for reading led Carol to yet another volunteer opportunity through 1000 Hearts for 1000 Minds. One day, Brocade was hosting a fair to showcase opportunities for their employees to give back to the community. It was on that day that 1000 Hearts for 1000 Minds, and her personal love of reading, led Carol to 成人快播. She quickly fell into step with the rhythm of the 成人快播 program, though not without some obstacles along the way.

鈥淚 thought when I signed up to be a 成人快播 tutor that I was going to give a student a little extra reading practice 鈥� I was so surprised to see that there was a curriculum!鈥� Carol said, 鈥淚 got so nervous, and thought, 鈥極h, I鈥檓 not a teacher. I鈥檓 going to have to teach these kids something!鈥欌��

Carol soon overcame her initial anxiety and found that she and her student were learning more and more each week. With support from her site coordinator, Carol adopted new strategies to effectively guide her student through their lessons and provide the specific support her student needed. Eventually, just like many 成人快播 volunteers, Carol soon came to realize that her tutoring sessions meant much more to her student than an extra hour of reading.

鈥淚 received teacher feedback that she鈥檚 seen improvement in my student鈥檚 reading. But to be honest, I more or less expected that,鈥� Carol admitted. 鈥淏ut what I didn鈥檛 expect was to receive a handwritten note from my student saying, 鈥榊ou are the best鈥� and 鈥業 love you so much. You will be my best friend forever.鈥欌��

As for her favorite thing about giving back through 成人快播?

鈥淚 love when [students] get an idea and 鈥� it鈥檚 like they show you that they get it in a different way. I read [my student] a story about whales and it talked about how a whale spurts up water through its spout.鈥� Carol explains, 鈥淚 sneezed, and he said, 鈥極h! You spurted!鈥� Not only did he get [the lesson], but he got it and applied it in a funny way.鈥�

As of 2016, Carol has been 成人快播 volunteer for four years and has tutored more than five students during that time. On why she continues to volunteer, Carol says, 鈥淚 think as far as finding out your purpose in life, it helps to give back to people 鈥� [成人快播] goes along with something that I really love to do. If you have something that you enjoy and you鈥檙e passionate about, it鈥檚 always great to leverage that in different ways.鈥�

She adds, 鈥淭he brochure says 鈥� 鈥楾he best experience of my life, other than raising my own children.鈥� I鈥檇 like to endorse that. When I leave my tutoring sessions, I have a buoyant feeling of changing the world one student at a time.鈥�
