Joy Taira - Volunteer Tutor of the Year... I was a literacy tutor when I was in college, and I truly believe in education equity. School on Wheels allows me to make a positive impact on students that need the most help. My student has opened up to me about interpersonal relationships at school and in her life. Gaining her trust has been the best part of my tutoring experience. When my student tells me she got a good grade, it makes my day! She just showed me her progress report — it’s all A’s — and I started crying at work! One memorable moment was while peer editing one of her essays. She said, “I am going to come to you all the time for these questions and edits!” Seeing her improve and our relationship grow has been such a joy to be a part of! I would say if you are looking for a way to give back and also help inspire a young mind, this is one of the easiest and best ways to do that! It is the most impactful thing I have done!
