Our first meeting at the Emmanuel Faith Community Church went very smoothly. Not only did we get a chance to meet most of the staff, we had a chance to converse with some of the kids. They were very cute, and confident, which is perfect for when we get a chance to put them on camera. Some of the girls described their days, mentioning how they have fun at Stepping Up and learn at the same time. They admitted that they still didn’t like some activities, like math or reading, but that they were getting better at it nonetheless. One of the girls proudly mentioned that she wanted to be an astrophysicist, describing how she wanted to ‘study the stars’. Another girl shared that her favorite part of the day was coming to Stepping Up after school, where she got a lot of homework done and had fun at the same time.
I didn’t get a chance to talk to any of the mentors, but just talking to the kids I have a good feeling about this project. They’re very confident, smart, articulate and energetic. It’s going to be fun working with them!
