So this is my first blog entry ever, I've played with the idea of blogging before but I have never really had the guts. For some reason it intimidates me, the idea of writing my personal thoughts is tough enough, let alone writing them for everyone else to read. Anyways, I'm giving it a shot and we'll see how it goes.
Alright so now that I'm done with my little ramble it's time to introduce to you what this blog is actually about: The Isla Vista Elementary Girls' Sports and Leadership Club or as the girls and I call it, Girls' Club! This program is a part of the Kendra Chiota Payne Memorial Internship program. Information about the program can be found here: http://www.rickpayne.net/Kendra/Memorial_Fund.html. If this is all new to you and you don't know anything about the fund, take the time to read about Kendra and the amazing woman she was. I am inspired by her story and the passion she instilled in those around her. Through the Girls' Club program I hope that I can come close to properly honoring Kendra's memory.
This Spring I have been blessed with the opportunity to work with a group of 12 5th and 6th grade girls at the Isla Vista Elementary school. We meet on Monday's and Wednesdays from 3:00-5:30. We also go on field trips once a week. I'm excited to see where this program takes both me and the girls and I hope you come along for the ride.
