Los Angeles New Elementary School Number Three

I come here on Saturdays to read to kids. I’ve only done it a couple of times so far but I plan to continue doing it. This school reminds me of the elementary school I went to here in Los Angeles.
The kids are full of energy, mainly immigrant children. Full of energy. The kindergarteners are so cute. And some of the older kids who behave so well (which for some reason are mainly girls), you just can’t help but have your favorites.
I’ve met some of the staff, and they seem to really care about the children. One lady reminded me of a teacher I had who I thought was mean when I was younger. I realized I was just like the little kids running around, and she wasn’t mean she was firm. And I was thankful when she came to my class and brought order, it only lasted til she left though.
I’m probably going to continue volunteering here, I like this school, the vibe. For a city school, its maintained very well. The kid’s don’t even realize how cool their playground is.
It’s one of those things where I give back to the community and I leave feeling like my community has given back more to me.
