A Walk Down Memory Lane: My Experience as a Tutor

In 1995 I had a joy at the Community College of Southern Nevada as a tutor. I worked with students who were having difficulty with some of the computer classes. As a results of that experience, I wrote the following poem. It was a fun job, I know I helped a few students feel more confident when using the computers and taking tests in those classes. All of the students I helped passed their classes with flying colors.
