Since today is Bobblehead Day and Tempura Day, I decided to focus on National Mentoring Month (whew, dodged that bullet). I mean, really... bobbleheads and tempura? Just couldn't do it.
In 2002, President George W. Bush proclaimed January as Mentoring Month to promote youth mentoring. And Colin Powell was the lead spokesperson for the campaign in 2009.
I visited Bryanna this morning, fully unaware at the time that I was participating in a national campaign. She talks nonstop for almost the full hour we spend together and is very entertaining. She asked how long a mentor follows a child and I told her that as long as she's in Katy schools, I'll be her mentor. That seemed to please her and me, as well.
