Blog 6: Dave Eggers' wish

What I took away form this video is that even a few people that take time out of their day to help one on one can make a difference in a students' life. Also, when people do this, more and more volunteers are willing to help students around the country. The speaker's effective speaking styles were the explanation of what these gag stores did and their real purpose behind the scenes, and how each of them made a difference to students around the country. Dave Eggers' presentation style was showing pictures of the places where he worked and spoke really quickly and fast about each slide. This video matters because it shows that even the students that do the worst would be able to improve if people take time out of their day in order to help these kids. This matters to me personally because it shows I can improve if I seek one on one help. In education, it shows that students can do better with one on one help. In the world, as Dave Eggers said, if you do the homework and spend time with your family, then you have a happy family. If there are enough happy families, then there is a happy community. Enough happy communities and it becomes a happy city, which leads to a happy world. In the long run, these tutorin g centers really affect the world in positive ways.
