"Memorable Moments" by Sharon

The most memorable moments is when I walk down the hall and Vera sees me and she has the happiest smile on her face.  It is such a pleasure to see her and I am just as excited to see her.  I also have to say when we send letters to each other during the summer months.  I love to hear from her and I know she loves hearing from me as she has said so.  I look forward to getting something in my mailbox from her and I know she feels the same way about receiving something from me.  It it such a pleasure to be her mentor.  I get just as much out of seeing her as she gets from me seeing her. It is an honor to be her mentor.

One Child At A Time
Doug, a Communities In Schools volunteer, has mentored Kevin for 6 years. “In elementary school Kevin struggled with behavior problems, which caused his grades to suffer. We met and worked on math homework or played chutes and ladders after school. Soon, his behavior improved. Kevin became interested in music and started playing percussion in the school band. Now that Kevin is in high school, we talk about life experiences and the importance of keeping good grades in preparation for college. Mentoring Kevin gives me a chance to give back to the community. Growing up I had very few black male mentors, and I wanted to be that kind of example to Kevin. I’m so proud to see how he’s developed into a mature young man.”
