Shelley and Jane

At the beginning of the year my mentee was distant and would barely speak to me. Since that time, we have become great friends! During the weeks of building my relationship with Jane it was a struggle and at times frustrating. But, it was all worth it! Not only for me but I know especially for her. My goal in the beginning was to become a friend to a little girl who needed one and I’m happy to say together we succeeded.

One Child At A Time
This year I watched as my mentee learned that it is okay to open up and meet new friends. He began to talk to people he hadn’t met before, and his interaction with others increased as the year progressed. My job as a police officer served as an ice-breaker for others to talk to him. My most rewarding experience was when he asked me to hold his poster board during a science presentation.” – Officer Scott Novasky, LPD
