Our Mentees Are Full Of Suprises & Talent!

Hello! Today's meeting was an eye opening experience that us mentors wanted to share with everyone. The girls were in groups of three and given one line on a piece of paper. We asked them to add one line each and make a short story that flowed. Shout out to Hannah, T'Keyah, and Rekeisha for creating one that is definitely blog worthy. Enjoy!

It was a beautiful day on a farm in the northern hills of the country...

The roses were blooming and the birds were chirping. 

The air smelled sweet with nectar from the flowers and the trees were giving us a nice cool breeze. 

The animals were walking around enjoying the sunshine. 

I've never seen such a beautiful sight in my life. 

Where everything felt peaceful for just a few moments. 

-Hannah, T'Keyah, Rekeisha
