During my second year at Ohio State, I found an organization that has come to hold a special place in my heart. This organization is called College Mentors for Kids. The picture includes me and my little buddy, Kelamyrah. College Mentors brings over 30 kids to Ohio State’s campus Monday- Thursday to participate in a mentoring program, but also to just have fun. My specific activity day was on Thursday, and we had so much fun. When the little buddies come to campus, we give them a snack and we talk about different topics related to college, depending on the different organization we bring in. Occasionally, these conversations are about health care related careers, or they can be with organizations that talk about Disney. Either way, we spend time together, cherishing each moment.
While it was not always easy, we always find something to have fun within activity. I cannot wait to continue to see my little buddy, and all of the other little buddies in upcoming semesters.
