Extra+credit

When I went to the KCC to listen to the students read the stories or poems that they made, I learned a lot from them. Not only did it surprise me that they were all so into it and wanting to share, but their stories were also very interesting and good. Some students talked about something serious to them and something that meant a lot to them while others made up funny stories which made them all giggle. Hearing the students read their stories and get so into them make me realize that they really were in the class to learn and better themselves. These students were in this place because of something that they did, but they were taking the time to try and make it better for themselves after they got out. The students had a lot of fun listening to each others stories and some of them even read more then one thing they composed. They were finished after about 30 minutes and then we were just sitting there talking to them. They were asking us questions and goofing around. They were very accepting of having us there which made us feel very comfortable. Overall I feel that I got a lot out of going to the KCC every week. It made me realize that everyone deserves a second chance and we are going to be working with a lot of kids who might not be the best student. But finding different ways to get the students involved and to get the students motivated will be a very rewarding feeling.
