A Call for Help

By: Jonah, AmeriCorps Promise Fellow serving in Carlton County

I had arrived at one of my sites, Cloquet Middle School, after one of my meetings in the office. After about 5 minutes there, my site contact held out his office phone and said it was for me. I took the phone and it turned out that a student who was on vacation needed some help with a math assignment. They had remembered my name and asked for me specifically, so I stayed on the phone with them for about 25 minutes and helped talk them through their work.
