My First Gift


This is the first gift that I have ever received as an educator.  I began tutoring when I was about 14 years-old.  My first students were siblings William and Michelle.  They were in elementary school, I would get dropped off at their house by my parents, tutoring them for two hours, and their father would drive me back.  I didn't like it much at the time, I wasn't any good at the time.  I didn't know what I was doing aside from trying to help them with their homework.  But I do recall wanting to be better at tutoring and teaching.  That hasn't changed.  Michelle made this keychain for me.  For the longest time, it was attached to my racket bag.  It is now one of my most treasured memorabilia.
