Meeting with Dolores #3...Really!
I feel so bad because last week, I didn't tell Dolores not to come to our meeting because of fall break. Even though I wasn't the only one that did this, I felt that it was my responsibilty to call her to let her know if I have a vacation. I'm going to try to be more diligent about doing that. This week, I came late to the meeting! This is not usually like me! I woke up at 9:40, and realized that I was supposed to meet her at 9:00. After running to the rec center, I found Dolores. Suprisingly she wasn't angry. At this meeting, I basically answered any questions she had about how to say things to people. For example, sometimes when she's working, the bath tub is clogged. Whent that happens, she has to tell her boss, but didn't know how to explain it. Whenever I tell her something new, she writes it down for future reference and study. She also asked me about pronouns, such as when to use "her" instead of "she." I didn't know how to explain it, so next time we meet, I want to bring a table that may help her. I'm really happy with Dolores. She makes it easy for me to tutor her, because she comes with questions, yearns to learn, and doesn't expect me to know everything.

Hi Paige, Thanks for the post and for being so honest about your feelings. It's not easy coordinating schedules between two busy people--and keeping track of all times and dates. But I know you are conscientious and that Dolores is both understanding and appreciative. I appreciate your good effort. Dan W.
hey paige. you shouldnt be so hard on yourself for missing your meeting during fall break. i think you will be able to make up for that through the effort you are putting into the project.
