I'm trying to create a visualization that any youth serving organization might be willing to use to visually communicate what time of day they reach youth, what age range they serve and what types of learning and mentoring activities are offered.

                                                      Prep To Succeed

     Along with grades and academic class load, a high school student’s ACT test score plays a major factor in determining college admission.  Many qualified students could improve their chances of getting into a better college with a higher ACT test score, but they do not always have the resources that can help them succeed. Many students from more affluent areas have…

In some cases lots of families are poor they cant afford to send they child to college. Guess what?

Allowing our youth to expand there minds…

Six weeks goes fast like an arrow. when I came here first, I thought we talked to children and helped other tutors. However, my work which inform poverty to public was valuable and gave me a lot of advantage. Before I worked in here, I have not made a presentation using Prezi. While I made it, I studied and then was accustomed to using and applying it. So if I will have a chance to make a presentation, I'll use Prezi with confidence.

What I felt about Tutor/Mentor Connecntion…

 I went to the conference that held on June 7th. It was really nice experience. I met many person, and communicated. Nice to meet you. When the first workshop, I was little shy at first. However, I could talk to them later, because of my video. I know it is not good, but many people gave praise and encouraged. I will try to develop my skill. I learned many things in there, such as America office culture, leadership, and communication. Thank you, Daniel and everyone.
