I am making friends and changing lives.

I have been a mentor with Compeer since 2007. My friend Kyle and I get together weekly. We go to the zoo, science museum, out for ice cream, or even go to the park and hang out on the swings. This summer we signed up for the Reading Rules summer reading challenge. We already read one book, and wrote a 10-sentence summary this summer. We enjoy spending time together.
