Everyone has something in them that I admire and that challenges me, but there are those few role models that take challenging you to the next level- like kicking you when you are out of line, telling Mom on you, yelling at you- With love, my three older sisters did all of those things. But if your family doesn't provide any positive role models, then participation in community organizations (ie. Homework House, church, sports clubs, extracurricular activities) and having inspiring teachers becomes integral. For me, it was my high school art teacher, Mrs. Bradway, who was as strange as they come- but always pushed me to think outside the box. Also my youth pastor that closely resembled Mr. Clean who was a 40-year-old that had the energy of a 20-year-old. He constantly challenged me on how to follow Christ. Anyways, all of you tutors will be among those lists when our students grow up and look back on those that made a difference in their lives. ~Your Program Director.........SHANA!

Maria as a role model mostly because she always kept me in line, that unfriendly but much needed person who told you what to do and what not to do. There have been a few teachers who actually have had a big impact on me as well. One is Mr. Trey Fisk, he was my Algebra 1, Physical Science, and Physics teacher in High School. He always made it clear that he loved and cared for each and everyone of his students. Always offered his help and was a great teacher and a great encouraging coach to have for track. What made him understand us as students, is not that he was our teacher, but that he knew what it would be like to struggle in class. So it was not just because he had to be nice, but it had that extra and needed personal touch to the situation. I have many more rolemodels, but I feel like I'd write a novel or two about them, and anyways, my fingers and wrists are hurting from typing this out... See you all (especially Mia and Oscar) on Wednesday at 6th street (right??) Jonathan E. Reyes So, role models…I would have to say my closest role model would have to be my sister.
