Take Advantage of Your Mentor!

So today was my first day back at work after a week’s vacation.  The day went by really fast but only because I had a lot to do.  Tomorrow the first half of my day will be spent doing a CPR/First Aid Refresher training course for work.

I’ll be leaving work soon to head over to King Tiger to teach Junior Tigers class.  I really enjoy being around the younger kids because they are always so enthusiastic, even when it’s Red Stripe day!  I'll be working with my mentee, Hallie, before class.

Then hopefully I’ll get to work with my mentor, Master Cavazos.  I actually began working with him at the beginning of July.  And it’s a good thing too because there’s lots to learn!  J  I hope everyone is taking full advantage of their mentor.  Remember, they are there to help you, but it’s up to you to ask them to work on the things you need more practice on!

Thank you Master Evins for all of the extra credits you gave us for the BB Camp this past weekend.  I really, really appreciate them!

long day
