Deshawn, one of our mentors (and a former mentee) was on Metro Morning today to discuss solutions in the midst of the disappointing responses from elected officials and decision-makers.

Mentees had a grand time on the seashore dipping their feet into the soft waves. Many faces were so radiant and filled with bliss. The day was extremely hot, but as the mentees walked along the shore line their feet rubbed against the rocks soothing the constant thought of fatigue like pedicure. The cold water temperature came with chills up the shins of the legs every time the soft waves whipped right in between their wiggly toes. While others spent their time running down the endless beach shore flying kits and wondering if the rumours of why the indoor pool was closed is true.

Monstrous waves collapsed the sound of joyful laughter, but it was more than obvious that the mentees had a wonderful time there by the expressions or their face. The faces of excitement, ecstasy, and jubilance was fulfilling to the mentors and staff. The mentees bounced around from the hot tub, the sonar to the deepest end of the wave pool. Some even took a dare to ride down a huge slide reaching to the ceiling of the facility. The mentees who dared to take the challenge put the emotion of fear to shame when they came racing down the slide and crashing into the deep water and have the courage to do it again.

It was an afternoon of lecture and interest. An evening of talk and feedback from 6pm until 8pm, but because the mass amount of information and the many engaged parents the meeting was prolonged. Time took on a mind of its and compelled the staff and parents to think that the time was of no issue, but the bus driver waiting as its designated area for about a half hour extra in the dark strongly disagreed. On the best of the bright side, delectable, mouthwatering snacks to nimble on was provided along with new relationships.

Inside the Rinx was dramatic chaotic fun. Mini golf, bowling, laser tag , and roller skating were the four options for the mentees to choose from; They could go in and out to test the waters of the different activities, but out of the four activities, roller-skating was the most popular because of its gargantuan space, trendy pop music, and screams of laughter. Positive energy is something everyone is always attracted too. That is why the strong heartbeat of the rink brought so many mentees to it.  – Aliyah
