Making a Difference

Over the past two years, I have done quite well as a friend, daughter, and student. I have had so much responsibility and commitment, and through my tireless efforts, I have been able to give it my all with the expectations that have been placed upon me. I truly believe that out of everything I have accomplished, nothing compares to the difference I have made for my nephew.

I would leave his house only when I felt we have accomplished our objective of the day.

He eventually got bored from that, so I rented educational DVDs from the library for him to watch. When that seemed like it wasn’t making any progress either, I came up with fun mini games he could play and learn from. I went ballistic trying to find anything to meet his educational, enjoyable needs, but my tireless efforts in not giving up on him, finally paid off in the end.
After two to three weeks of long, after school tutoring sessions, my nephew got a lot better in
