Today I helped clear out stilt grass and porcelain vine from an area of the BeltLine called the Westside Trail. I learned a lot about invasive species and how they can destroy biodiversity in both plant and animal life. I also really enjoyed getting into the woods and doing some pulling. I am grateful to ASCE at Georgia Tech for organizing this trip.

I got to work with two students today. The first student and I worked on times tables, compound words, and vocabulary. The second student was working on solving equations using transverse angles. It's always a good experience volunteering with Mind Bubble!

I got to work two students during Wednesday tutoring this week! I met a new student who faces a lot of learning challenges, and reminds me a lot of my brother. The other student I worked with was excited to read stories on ReadWorks, which I have to admit were quite entertaining. I really enjoyed volunteering with Mind Bubble this week, and I will certainly miss it over the break.

I worked with a middle school student on manipulating algebraic equations. I am always really impressed when students come in without an assignment to do, and just want to practice the material they have been learning in class. It's amazing to see people taking that initiative to get better in their courses. She kept asking us to make the problems harder, and we taught her a number of techniques that she hadn't seen before.

Today I worked with my favorite 4th grader! She is so bright, and she loves to ask about topics that she's not even learning about in school, like the lunar phases and astrology. She is so curious and smart and it always puts me in a better mood when I get to work with her.

I had a great time tutoring at Mind Bubble today! I worked with a student on fraction operations and metric conversions.

I worked with a high school student on a physics assignment today. We also talked about his career goals and potential summer jobs he could get to help him towards his goals.

Today I worked with a student to come up with sentences using her vocabulary words. We then filled out a packet about the weather and climate, which required a lot of googling because I didn't learn anything about weather in school. It was so good being back at Mind Bubble after a very busy semester.
