Concerns

My concerns with the service learning project are not being able to communicate effectively in Spanish. I’m concerned with that because I cannot communicate effectively in Spanish. I can’t always think of the word I want to say. I also can’t speak in complete sentences. My reactive time for responding is very long. I can’t think that fast. My other concern is not being able to teach English the best to students. I speak English but I don’t always speak proper English. What if I come across a grammar rule and I can’t explain it? Will I look undependable if I ask for help? I’m concerned with not having the right attitude and conducting this project just to get my need out of it. I know that there is option to teach a class Spanish math. I wanted to learn how to speak Spanish better. I was thinking about myself. However, I had to learn to think about the students. I learned from our discussions that service learning is about the needs of the students. I can’t speak Spanish really good. Could I really reach students basic math in Spanish? I couldn’t even remember what the words for add and subtract was in Spanish. I really have to consider and think about the best option for the students and not for me. If I didn’t do the Spanish math option I had an attitude about teach English. I didn’t want to but I had to change my attitude. My last concern is that I won’t get the most out of this project. I believe my attitude could stop me from getting the most out of the project.
