Teaching Immigrant Adults to Speak English

I teach adults, mostly latinos, how to speak English at a community adult school here in the Bay Area. My mom has been teaching at this adult school for over two years now, and I've been volunteering for over a year. Last year, I often went four times a week from 6:30-9:30 helping out in the intermediate or beginning intermediate class. ( depending on what day of the week it was ). This year, my mom only teaches one class, beginners, and we both go Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:30-9:30.

The Melting Pot of America

With my partner, I completed the Girl Scout Gold Award (the highest distinction awarded in Girl Scouts, equivalent to the Eagle Scout) Project. I educated younger Girl Scouts about different cultures that make up the United States of America. I set up booths for Thinking Day (a large event in the girl scout world) for various countries around the world so that the girls could learn about them and expand their knowledge of ethnicity.

The Garfield High School Ancient Greek Club

Greek Club is devoted to the learning of Ancient Greek language and culture. I started the club to spread my knowledge of Greek to other students in my school. Meeting for two half hour sessions a week, I taught my peers the basics of Greek out of the textbook ATHENAZE. To get enough textbooks, I had to pay for about 9 textbooks out of my own money. Once we had books classes began along with the school year. We started with an attendance of 11, and the number of participants in the club has remained at that level since then.
