Ever since my sister's first year @ bing she's been mentoring this girl, Jamie. They have this program where the students at the college could spend an hour every week with a kid who doesn't have that great of a life. They help them with their homework and just give them someone to talk to. So, for the past four years, my sister has been mentoring this girl. The area outside of the college is pretty bad. It's kind of your typical "white-trash" neighborhood. Anyway, I got to meet her for the first time this weekend and it broke my heart. She's this cute little 12 year old, who's got a pretty bad life. She has a new dad like every month, sisters and brothers from all different parents, shares a house with other people, etc but being with her, you would never guess it. She's just a normal person, thankful for all she's got. And I hate it. She has nothing compared to half of the people here, yet complains not nearly as much as they do. I swear, people in this town don't notice how much they really have. Saying goodbye to her was so hard. I just wish I could do something to help her. She kept saying how when she visits us this summer that she's never gona leave and how she's "part of our family now." I mean me saying this probably means nothing but I can't get her off of my mind. I just feel so horrible. It was really a smack in the face. I wish people could just realize how much they have and be thankful for it. *edi* i know i already talked to a couple of u guys about this already, but if u have any clothes u dont want anymore can u give them to me bc my sister wants to give them to Jamie..thanks a bunch
