So today marked the first day of SCORE and going in I wasn’t sure on what to expect. I didn’t know if Mr. Martino (my SCORE supervisor) was going to have me running around the school or if it would be as laid back as everyone else’s project. To be honest it was a perfect medium of the two. He had me working almost all day but at the same time there was no rush and I had time to sit back and relax.
The first line of business I had to do was to collect, number, organize and inventory books for multiple classes just like and store owner would have to do with its products. That was more time consuming than I expected but I actually enjoyed it. Something about it not being school work made me want to do it and made it less of a hassle and added some value to the work I put in. That is the most unexpected thing I came across all day. The work didn’t feel like work.
Next task I was given was to clean the room and more specifically organize and alphabetize all of the sample exams and role plays for his DECA classes. Once again the work didn’t feel like work so despite the actual amount of time it took it went pretty quickly which was the theme of the day.
For C Block I was the TA for his 7th grade MCAS support class. They were studying volume of simple three dimensional objects and I was a little nervous because it’s been a while since I was in 7th grade math. It all came back pretty quickly and the class itself reminded me of some of the classes I have been in throughout high school. It may have seemed like it was out of control but the class progressed just how Mr. Martino wanted it to. Personalities quickly emerged in the class and there were so many differing ones. From extremely quiet to very loud. From overly energetic to very calm and under control. Mr. Martino had me paying attention to the management techniques he was using to keep the class on pace and schedule.
I am excited to go back tomorrow and the following days more so than I ever thought I would be. Overall it was a very successful first day.
