Tutees

Welcome everyone!

This section is one of our favorites. Check out all the amazing things our tutees have done over the semesters! These kids are really important to us and to their tutors, so we make sure they have lots of fun while learning about math, reading, writing, art, geography, current events, the environment, culture and much, much more.

Author's Corner

Dear Diary
by Brandi Hardy

Dear Diary,

I love my diary because they are special to me and my friends and family. Also, I love it because it’s fun to read and write. Also, I love it because my mom told me different things to write in my diary. It’s fun to share and tell different things about your life. When I write things in my diary, it’s about family, friends, people, and tutors, like my awesome tutor named Lina. Also, I wish she went to Dutch Wonderland with me. I was so mad when she didn’t come to my trip. I love her so much. Her name is mother and I love to talk about my sister, my brother, my mother, and my father. I love to play games on my computer and do my homework. When I do my homework my mom checks it. I love to watch “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody,” “Hannah Montana,” and “High School Musical 1, 2, and 3.” I love to sing about Troy and Gabriella and Taylor and Corbin. I love talking about jumping because I love jump roping. It’s fun to keep stuff to yourself and not out loud. It’s fun to talk about friends and family, and how you love them. Also, I love to talk about my summer. My summer was very fun, because I went swimming. I went to Six Flags, Jeepers, and Pennsylvania for church. I also went to Jason Woods in Pennsylvania. I love to talk about things I love to do. First thing I like to do is play Bratz. I love to color and I want to be an artist when I grow up. When I grow up I would like to be a surgeon. I would like to be a surgeon because my mom told me I can be whatever I want to be and follow your dreams. Also, I love to talk about being a surgeon because I love medical school. Medical school is very fun and I want to be in medical school because I want to be a surgeon. I know how long I’m supposed to be there, for twelve years. Also, my brothers like to play video games all day, and my sister likes to sing Wonder Pets. I love to talk about my tutor because she’s nice and she owes me a dollar! And she says she will…maybe. My aunt loves John Cena. Also, I love him too.  That is what I like about my things to do and what I write in my journal entry. Bye-bye! Love you mommy!

My Disgusting Pink Carpet
by Brianna Sessoms

I hate my disgusting pink carpet
The pink no longer looks all that pink
It’s stained with twenty years of stains
It looks like a dusty rose
The color makes me sick every time I see it
Sometimes I think it belongs outside where no one can see it
It does not match anything else in my room or house
And it certainly does not fit my personality
I hate my disgusting pink carpet

Draco the Dragon
by Corey Royster

This story is about a dragon named Draco and one day a knight wanted to challenge Draco to a duel. The knight wanted to challenge him because he wanted to be worthy of the house of knights. They both went to the coliseum to duel. The announcer told the two contestants to get ready. Then they both charged at each other when he said go. The dragon was breathing fire at him while the knight is shielding the fire. The knight was ferocious and scared at the same time but he didn’t show it. The dragon was charging and charging, but then the knight had his mighty sword inside of the dragon’s body. Then the dragon just dropped dead on the ground. The crowd roared and roared until the announcer said that the knight is now worthy of the house of knights. The knight now has a job by protecting the fortress of the king and queen. The dragon’s family is sad and disappointed. Then the body guards go to drop him in the river.

Destiny’s Sleepover
by Destiny Brown

Dear Journal,
My sleepover was last weekend and it was extremely fun. The sleepover was a celebration of my tenth birthday. My cousins Autumn, Ayanna, Jayla, and Kemaiah came over my house at 3 o’clock in the afternoon and my best friend Shantazia came over too. My older sister Dierra was watching us.

Then, my mom came in the house from work. She got herself ready and then we sang “Happy Birthday Destiny!” We had vanilla cake and chocolate and vanilla ice cream and it was delicious. Then my mom got us ready to go roller skating. Skating was so fun. Every time Kemaiah tried to skate she kept falling, so we all helped her up and held her hands and skated with her. We left the skating rink at ten o’clock at night!

That was the best sleepover I ever had.

Myself
by Dontaz Brandon

I am a good friend.
I am a colorful person who can blend.
I am very appealing.
I believe I can go all the way to the ceiling.
I am very good at sports.
I look very good in shorts.
I am very smart to the core.
They say “no” to learning, but I say “more.”
I will always be some one,
I will be myself.
