STOMP (Thursday 1-28-10)

Hey STOMP Staffers!

Today was a good day. I was really surprised that we had a good turnout even though they got out at school hours earlier because it was finals week AND that they don't even have school tomorrow! It shows that they really do enjoy coming to STOMP. Good JOB MENTORS!! We are doing something right !!! =) I really appreciate everyone's work. I was just thinking today how I would feel so drained after every STOMP day because only a few of us were able to go. But I'm glad we stuck with it (shout outs to Ashley, Russell, Nas, Ricardo!) because STOMP is really improving! Still room for improvement of course...but progress has definitely been made.

Anyway...about today...I had a good conversation with my mentee Tony about school and life in general. Today was really chill because they just finished finals so we all take it easy.

Shout out to Evelyn who started playing games with them to keep them engaged!! Go head girl! I really appreciated that. Thanks for Whitney and Jess for getting the snacks! And thanks again to Whitney for driving and Kameko too!! Russell and Avelino...you two are so great! Thanks for being positive male role models. And Mags...I can so tell that your mentee loves you =) And Kiara, way to hold it down, I noticed that you kept your mentees busy the whole time.

Everyone is great. Yay for STOMP!!

peace,
