| The mentoring group that I participate in
took a trip to the Mitchell Park Horticultural Observatory ("The
Domes") last week. Breon, my mentoring student, spent the
afternoon with the digital camera and took many wonderful pictures of
the group exploring the Domes. Thanks for the pics, Breon!
Jamica, Bernetta, Gwen, and Charlette
There are many more pictures of the trip to see. I have put them into a photo gallery, click here to see it. BTW, I am playing with some new scripts, please email me if anything is acting funny. |
Here is a picture of Breon and me at the Domes. Breon and I have been working together in the One on One mentoring program for about 6 months now. We are posing in front of the chameleon.

Mentoring is a lot of fun. We meet once a week at the downtown YMCA, usually to work on homework and small projects. Our next big outing is an overnight at the Southwest YMCA, from 10pm to 6 am, March 22. Anyone want to help chaperone??? |
