May I Help You

I have to say that my moment came when one of my students came to my aid to assist me. We were taking our basic camera skills test this week, which is entirely hands on working with the basic functions of set up and preparation to shoot. While the rest of the students were working on another assignment, I was finishing up the last few groups that were left taking the test. Once one of my trusted students completed his assignment, he noticed a student struggling through my instructions. The student asked if he may work with the student in another area for practice before I grade her application. I was shocked at the gesture, but more surprised from the response when I asked why he did it, and he said that "I thought you would have done the same thing." I feel like these kids are really buying into what we are doing. I was never more sure of what I was doing than that day last week.
