Hi all! My name is Jenica Corbett, and this is a blog for my Ed. Psych. class at Goshen College, IN. I am a sophomore, and an English Secondary Ed. major. Some quick facts about me and why I chose this career choice:
A.) I had found that I was a parody in middle and high school, as I was both a jock (I run...a lot), and had an aptitude for reading and writing (as long as the books we not dry)to a fault (I would get my in trouble during Math class for reading or free writing when I was supposed to be learning about fractions).
B.) I love learning interactions and figure I might as well pick a career that I will most likely enjoy.
So, these are a few of the reasons why I landed in Educational Psychology where a requirement is to tutor student for 10-12 hours. I decided to tutor Cassie, an 8th grader whom I have known for about six years, because I knew she would be comfortable with me and that she had some big projects and papers coming up that I knew would lead to opportunities for growth in both her and I.
I will disclose summaries of our sessions and juxtapose further analysis on this growth, as both the tutor and tutee.
