Day to Day
I start the day tutoring kids before school. Then we spend the day teaching 4 periods straight. After 4th period I have lunch, which is filled with kids needing tutoring again. After lunch / tutoring we have 2 more periods and then a class period for meeting with teachers. The last period is my planning period so I use it to prep for the next day. Our school day ends at 3:55 but I stay until 5:15 to tutor students again. Then on the way home and way into the night I answer texts from students.
