1. Recruitment Team Scenario: The K-3 tutor program would be the best fit for me. When I was a 6-8th grade student, I volunteered to assist K-2 students struggling with the core subjects and/or grade-level literacy.

In the future, I would be more cautious when taking on commitments that require a leave of absence. For all decisions, I would ensure that I re-read the established procedures and ask questions if I am
