An AmeriCorps Member's Success Story

The majority of my students are students who are struggling in Math. One particular young lady started the year off with a 50 in Math. She had a hard time with basic multiplication and division, which affected her confidence in Math in general. She was disruptive in class and didn’t do her work because she said it was “too hard.” We practiced multiplication and division outside the classroom to build her confidence. I sat with her in the classroom and showed her different tips and techniques. She began to grasp concepts on her own or with little help. She noticed her multiplication and division getting easier and easier through practice and repetition. This boosted her classroom participation and interest in Math. Her behavior in class improved and her grades went up dramatically. The 5th six weeks she made a 91 in Math! Up from a 50! She thought she was “stupid” and that she “sucked” at Math. Now she has an A. All she needed was someone to steer her in the right direction and help her to overcome her self-doubt.

I met up with this student in her gym class when 5th six week grades were posted to tell her how she did. At first she was in shock. When she realized that I was telling the truth and the reality of it sunk in, her hands went to her cheeks and her mouth dropped open. She started jumping up and down and screaming like she had just won the lottery. It was the cutest thing ever!
