FIRST MENTOR TRIP MADE TO GAINESVILLE
FIRST MENTOR TRIP MADE TO GAINESVILLE
THURSDAY NOV 5
On Thursday night the first of the mentors had finally been approved and assigned. This adventurous little band of Saints travelled to Gainesville to meet their new Mentees. The mentors were probably more nervous than the students they were about to meet. After a brief delay the students were brought to the Visitor Center and introduced. This was the first night that the school had opened up the chapel for mentors to allow more space for the families in the Visitor Center. The Mentors went with their students and got to know them as well as allowing the students to know the mentors. The first night was brief by design. The ride home involved chatter about each mentor’s student and what their expectations would be during the upcoming sessions. It was a lively, enthusiastic discussion with plans being formulated for the next return trip.
