GIAC and the Kids! - Tara

Hey guys! I’m a new GIAC tutor and I just want to say how great the experience is. I’ve tutored kids before in Africa and it’s so funny to see how kids from all over the world act pretty much exactly the same. They are all so social and ready to run around and make you cakes out of the playground bark. This leads me to one of my favorite memory at GIAC so far.

After tutoring some of the kids, we all went outside to play on the playground. I was with a group of girls who were playing house. They served me a huge dinner complete with bark cakes, bark fried chicken, and invisible juice. The kids at GIAC are amazing and are so fun to work with. It’s a great feeling when you can brighten a child’s day by helping them solve a math problem or running around in the gym playing capture the flag. Tutoring at GIAC is definitely a great experience, and it is a great way to get away from the Cornell Campus and interact with amazing kids.


Peace and Love,

Tara
