What is something that you have learned in your work as a volunteer tutor?
I think very few people who were given the opportunity to achieve full, functional literacy as children realize the level of intelligence and strength it requires to both (1) navigate the world without those skills and (2) decide as an adult that you'd like to gain them. Witnessing Tommy's commitment and exponential growth week after week - and seeing how brilliantly he picks up what we're learning - has taught me the courageousness of pursuing dreams we know will lead us to a fuller life regardless of others' stigmas, expectations, or timelines.
Tommy has inspired me to pursue goals of mine I had previously shelved because I thought I was "too old" or "too busy." His bravery - like his smile - is contagious.
