Five Questions with Jeanne

Jeanne Diehl, has been a tutor for three years and has made a great impact on her student’s life. After spending most of her life in Wheaton, Illinois, she spent a few years in New Jersey before retiring and moving to Monroe in 1996.

Jeanne is serving her second year on the Council’s Board of Directors and is currently serving as Vice-Chair. Here are our questions and her responses:

How long have you been a tutor? I completed training April 24th and met with my student for the first time on May 4th, 1999.
What’s the best thing about being a tutor? It is a thrill to watch my student when something clicks, which is quite often.
Why is volunteering important to you? It is in volunteering that I get to do the most rewarding work ever.
What is your favorite book? I have two favorites, and they are both suspenseful and surprising—though I generally don’t like surprises: The Deep End of the Ocean by Jacquelyn Mitchard and Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow.
If you had an extra hour each day, how would you spend it? Don’t need it. I’m happy with what I do and when I do it.
