Tuesday was the day that Sybrina and I were to make an appearance to the Boys & Girls Club. After hanging out at the Center a little after work we grab some pizza, Starbucks, and head down.

The reaction from the kids…was just amazing! Hugs and screams of love! It just made me feel wonderful that we made enough impact on these kids to be loved and missed and welcomed back when we came to visit.

We treated the teens to pizza as we couldn’t have bought enough for all the kids. It was great just being around them. They acted like they didn’t care but I know they were glad to see us. Sybrina was cussing up a storm. I think the kids loved being able to interact with her unfiltered and not watered down!

I love talking to the kids! The teens especially. They were hilarious talking about random stuff from farts to middle school. And that’s what they loved about me, just being heard is enough for them. I hated that when I worked the front desk, they couldn’t be up front. I mean I feel that it shows a lot when you have a bond with kids to where they can relate and talk to you. They could be themselves with the fear of authority.

It was fun reminiscing with them all. I hope to do it again soon ( HINT HINT, Sybrina ). I wonder how Abby is doing. I know she is uber-busy with school and such! I miss her!
