Thank you for extending the Student
Spotlight opportunity my way, your consideration of me for such a role is
greatly appreciated! I learned about the America Reads program by speaking with
the receptionist at the office for Human Resources in Rivers. The woman I spoke
with handed me the America Reads pamphlet and told me that if I was interested
in making a difference in the Springfield community, I could talk with the
Center for Civic Engagement in the Campus Center for more information. After
some deliberation, I came to the conclusion that if I were to be working, I
would want to do something selfless rather than selfish. The America Reads
program is a great way for me to accomplish this because I get to spend time
one on one with kids who need some extra help that they can’t always receive
without the efforts from people like me. I currently am placed with sixth and
seventh graders, and I really enjoy the time I get to spend befriending and
working through math problems with them. After working thirty to forty hours a
week for the past three years in food service, this program is a much more
rewarding career for me. To drive home every day with a smile on my face
instead of a grimace is something I am not used to, but I really like it.
I am from Charlton, Massachusetts, and I have three siblings. I plan to major in Civil Engineering with an Environmental concentration, and minor in Spanish. I spend the majority of my free time on campus watching Netflix, hanging out with friends and my girlfriend, and hoping that the dining hall will have stuffing at dinner. I love to hike, fish, and I can’t wait for spring to actually start.
Regards,
Simon
