Well it looks like it may happen. They may let a kid near me to mentor. They must not have been thinking! Incase you didn't pick it up, I had my interview today for Childhelp USA. I had volunteered to be a mentor for a year, and the lady seemed to like me. Although I really didn't say all that much. They still have to do a social work background check and a police background check on me. (Lets just hope they over look the time I went car bowling using people as the pins!) The place seemed pretty neat. Sounds like it will be an interesting year. If I completely pass all the testing stages, I will be asked to meet with the child once a week for a year. No taking the kid back and asking for a new one. It will either be an abused child or a pregnant teen. Or so I was told.
Besides that, I am exhausted. I have been up since three working on work. So now I am going to make some good eats and sit back for a bit.

If you could do anything, what would it be? Now, why aren't you out pursuing it?

Kelly, what a great thing to do! You would be an awsome mentor. (I hope you get a fat kid. Maybe you can help each other out. I'm not mean in saying this... I was a fat kid. Still am.) Anyway, I wish you luck in the backround check. Just pray they don't check out your friends, because I have somethings in my past I would hate to come up. Hookin' on Lyell Ave was forever ago. And besides, it was for a good cause... saying for the day we send our little girl to camp. (wink wink)
So does this mean there will be a semi-Kelly out there now. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Good luck with it! I know you will be a good mentor.
Wow! That would be very rewarding. It takes a certain type of person to do that kind of work. I commend you for pursuing it. It also takes a lot of patience and understanding. When I see people doing jobs like I have nothing but respect for them. Good luck Kelly.
theres alot of screwed up kids out there. not to be the pessimist, but its not like taking care of a cat. this kid will consume your life. Mke sure your mental and emotional strenght is at max. good luck
