My first student was MyJaron. I saw a lot of changes in him during our time together.
I was with him since he was in kindergarten so we had several years together. I was also beside him through several school and family changes.
In fact, the first time I visited him after he transferred schools, he kept saying, ‘You found me!’
He’s had some real challenges, so it was nice to be a consistent presence for him. I was even able to see him during my maternity leave and he told everyone that my new little guy was his baby brother!
Sadly the last time he transferred schools, it was out of state.
I was just matched with Ka’laiah. I love my time with her and can’t wait to see where the relationship takes us.
