I found out about Literacy Mentoring actually by accident while searching the internet for volunteer programs available in Fresno.  I was particularly looking for an organization where I would be able to volunteer my free time helping children.  I had never heard of Every Neighborhood Partnership but soon discovered that this organization was a perfect fit for me.  As I read their website and learned about the Literacy Mentoring program I was hooked.  Being able to volunteer and share some of my time especially in the lives of children, I knew would be a very happy and rewarding experience for me, so I decided to join this wonderful organization.  

I don't really remember a particular favorite book as a child however, I do remember my favorite TV show was called Big Blue Marble.  I liked watching this show because it was about real children all over the world doing real things in their daily lives.  Each weekly episode showcased a girl and a boy in separate segments.  The shows were always stories about an American family and an international family both with children of the same age.  It was very educational and as a kid I loved this show!

 I hope the students at Mt View Elementary have a very fun and very successful academic school year!

Both of my parents are the two people that encouraged me the most in my life as a child.  To this day they are still my greatest role models.  I learned from their example and I am truly blessed to be their daughter.
