Overall, my initial experience working with Laurie Bowen for the Levene, Gouldin & Thompson Tennis Challenger has been a positive experience. So far I have attended six meetings, where we discuss a variety of issues. In the beginning, meetings were held only once a month. But as it gets closer to the tournament, it has kicked up to two meetings a month held on Monday nights. During the meetings, Laurie provides all the volunteers with an agenda on what was going to be discussed at that meeting. The meetings usually cover financial matters. For example, how much money has been raised to that point and if there were any new sponsors. The big issue has been able to locate a food vendor to cover the nine-day tournament.

For example, finding a place to live was a challenge. Laurie was very accommodating and was able to find us a place to stay for the summer. It has also been difficult for me because I am not from the area. Therefore, I do not know where anything is or what goes on within the community. For example, when Laurie tells us try a certain street for a sponsorship, I have no idea where it

Ways to reduce barriers to be able to communicate are: To make the person feel comfortable and as relaxed as possible, smile and keep facial expressions friendly, maybe use gestures or pictures and be warm and encouraging. Keep to the client’s level and make constant eye contact, talk to the client slowly and clearly to ensure that the client understands what you are saying, remain patient and keep the conversation short and simple.
Please share a moment where you have to change your style according to the situation or environment

During the months of September and October this semester I spent time at two different schools in four different classrooms. Being able to observe different classes and teachers at Westside Junior High and South Live Oak Elementary was a very new and exciting experience for me since I can’t say I’ve always wanted to be a teacher. My experiences at these schools gave me a better insight into the differences between schools, classrooms, and teachers. The purpose of this field experience was to get 10 observation or tutoring hours in an elementary or junior high setting. I chose to observe a
I want to thank you for the work that you do in our community. People that work with students hold a special place in my heart. I devoted 10 years of my life to serving in youth ministry and know firsthand the challenge and reward that it can bring. During those years I had the privilege of working alongside numerous parents and school personnel. We worked together to help kids reach their full potential and become productive adults. It is because of this time in my life that I understand just how difficult but important your calling is. Those that work with children and teenagers are changing tomorrow today. As you work, you are literally shaping the future every day. You need supernatural wisdom discernment care and
