Concentra- tion on school work can become diluted with insecurities and the ever present social aspect that tends to have so much bearing during this time in life. College Misericordia students have decided to help. With the Dallas Schools Project, college vol- unteers tutor middle school chil- dren to help students gain confi- dence through mastery of their schoolwork. “It's been very successful,” said an enthusiastic Anthony Martinelli, Dallas Middle School srincipal. “The parents have been very enthused. I see positive re- sults from it.” The project initially was to help middle school girls through this often-difficult time in their lives. ‘By the time girls get into middle school their self-concept is nega- tively affected,” said Dr. Joe Rogan of College Misericordia in Decem- ber before the project was imple- mented. The program was based on a project in Washington D.C. Ironically, since the program started in January, the majority of the 51 students participating have been boys. “We started it because we wanted to give something back to Dallas. We proposed it for the middle school to watch for kids who need a little extra help,” said Rogan. “I'm thrilled with its suc- cess. It's a growing student ser- vice and we didn’t touch a dime. Also, there is little paper shuffle,” he said. The program is com- pletely free to operate. “There are no grants or anything, it’s not an issue,” explained Rogan. Misericordia volunteers hold tutorial sessions at the college library or other common areas on campus and discuss a variety of subject matters. “It is an excel- lent program because many re- quire some tutoring and this is a way for parents to obtain free tutoring for their child. Tutoring can get very expensive,” said Raelene Olszewski, Dallas Middle guidance counselor, who believes itis good to have the younger kids exposed to college students. “I think they really relate to the college students. It kind of works as a mentoring program,” ex- plained Olszewski. Rogan agrees. “The middle school students are extremely re- College, Middle School team to build competence sponsive. Once they begin to trust the volunteers, they begin to ask more questions and learn,” he explained. Rogan said the college volunteers have observed that in many cases the students only need someone to point out their minor mistakes, they go on to solve larger problems. “For example, stu- dents with math difficulties. Our students figure out they are doing a lot of little things wrong and it helps them,” said Rogan. 7 Although parents play a small part in the project, Rogan has’ received phone calls from parent. indicating their happiness.
