Weak Vikings and a Strong Run
We were lucky enough to get tickets to the Vikes-Pats game that had been donated to Bolder Options by 3M. We never get a chance to say thank you to these organizations that continuously support what we do - so heres a big shout out to 3M - THANK YOU.
The less said about the game the better - though the suite we were in was real cool - I think my mentee really enjoyed it. His only request was to find a place where he could buy horns - a request that was quickly silenced about 4 mins into the 1st quarter
Then back to our regular mentoring routine - I make it sound regimented but Ive noticed that it works when you have a fixed schedule. We have decided to meet twice a week - Mondays at the library to do homework and Thursday to run. Yesterday was our first running day. Went pretty well - hit the YMCA only to find that the running track was under repair so ended up running 30 mins on the treadmill. My mentees pretty good. Stayed with me for about 15 mins then had to slow down but finished the 30 mins. I love it when pride keeps them going. I guess thats what drives my mentee - so I think I will use his pride to get him to be better at whatever he does
Well next we tackle his schoolwork - lets see how that goes
