I'm officially a tutor on Mondays with little kindergartens through 3rd grade. The classroom teachers want me to get in front of little kids and tell them something about myself, whether it's my hobbies, etc. They want me to bring pictures.
My awkward situation is, I don't know what to tell them! That i like to gamble and think of big-tities pornstars?! Ha! The other thing is, i hate being fake unless absolutely necessary.
i was thinking of buying chocolates for the girls and baseball cards for the boys. But if I do this route, i would have to spend at least $20-$40. What are my alternatives?
Some of the teachers are middle-age women, some are gorgeous while some aren't.

It has been a long time since I have been a kid, so my old methods of having fun as a kid is out-dated. I know now that these kids have the new Apple ipod, computers, even cell phones!
Heck, some are even richer in resources than me!

This is not an exercise nor it is an option. She wants me to get comfortable with the kids just by telling them a little bit about me.
I think I can do it. It will deter my senses if these kids give me the blank faces unlike the teens or high-school students who usually gives a little expressions.

Tell them you like sports, watching sports, playing sports. Do you have old pictures of you playing a sport? That would work.
I mean they're young they still wanna be athletes and fireman and crap, you can easily spin sports with out having to talk about betting on them. You def can;t spin porn stars to sound like a healthy activity though.
Last thing you want is a bunchy of stuffy middle aged women thinking you whack it all the time.

Talk about what you wanted to do when you were their age and how those goals changed over time; talk about what you would do differently if you could do it over. Tell them now is a good time to build life long friendships........................
If you can't handle this, the tutoring will be way too hard.

how important having goals is .... how life can be hard sometimes .... how helping out in the community is a good thing and explain why .... why it is important to treat others the way you want to be treated ... when you try something and fail to keep on trying ... etc.
i remember being a kid and 99% of the people that spoke, sucked.
nobody is honest anymore. it's all pc bs. and even as a kid i could smell the bull shit.

Almost every teacher has their real life and then the life that their students get to see. That doesn't mean their "real" life is bad or anything, you just have to keep some parts private.
Just tell them you like sports, you could even relate it to math for them. They will love it.
At their age, they would love to hear your favorite animal and color. They want to be able to relate to you because the moment you walk in, you are their idol. Kids will start bragging that their favorite color is the same as yours. Naming what month you were born will be a big deal to them as well.
Being a male will be a huge plus for the most part. Many of these kids don't have a male figure in their life that takes an interest in what they are doing inside or outside of school.

If you cant come up with some redeeming qualities to tell the kids, then why go through the exercise?
Don't waste everyone's time. I believe he's referring the entire endeavor your trying to do of being a tutor; if you can't even figure out how to talk to them about yourself how the hell are you going to tutor them about a subject that is far less interesting to them?
If you are really going to do this then here's my advice:
Just go in tell them you played X sport as a child and you have a pet dog, cat, whatever. Little hands will start shooting up asking questions answer some and you'll be done. Bring a few photos of whatever you have and explain them. GL
