HOSTS Mentor
- The HOSTS program was created to help children that score poorly in reading on standard testing. This program helps students learn faster, become more self-reliant, increase self-esteem, attend school more regularly, and have fewer discipline problems. This volunteer based experience was on that sparked my interest in those who need help beyond what they can do for themselves. I learned a lot about patience, and I was given the opportunity to understand those who struggle with English as their second language or little reading in the home. Some of these students only had school as a safe environment, and I learned to be there to help facilitate learning while also being a kind soul to foster that safe environment.

- As discussed on the previous page, this internship provided me with the skills I need to work with children no matter their ability level, but this was also a great experience fore my understanding of diversity. I got the opportunity to serve people from many different backgrounds, learn how each family differed because of these backgrounds, and how I can best fit the needs of these backgrounds.
