On Friday the 24th, I went to Burrus Elementary for the first time. I did not get a grand tour but I did get to see the front office. The people there were very friendly, welcoming, and they did not seem surprised to see me, which I am hoping is a good sign! I believe that I officially completed the registration process when the woman at the front desk made a copy of my ID. I am to report back to Burrus this Friday, roll up my sleeves, and be prepared to get to work. I am not sure what to expect, but I signed up to tutor/mentor, so that is what I will be ready to do.
The students there also seem very friendly. Two girls opened the door for me when I walked in so that gives me a pretty good first impression. Maybe that is not the best thing to base my impression of the whole school on, but I would rather have a good first impression than a bad one, so I am sticking with that one for now. I am both anxious and nervous about this Friday, but I will do my best and the rest will fall in place.
