"I am a promise, I am a possibility, I am a promise"

That is a line from one of the songs the kids learned while participating in a DEFY (Drug Education for Youth) program this past week at Urban. The kids seemed to really love that song, and so did I.  After working at Urban for a month now (where does the time go!), I have come to personally know many of our kids.  They have so much potential!  The more I work with them, the more I uncover about each and every one of them.  This song definitely fit our kids, and I am glad I am able to know them well enough to say that.

After having outside groups come in for the last two weeks, I am excited to have Art Week with Mrs. Jennifer of Urban next week! I look forward to working with my 9-10 year old group on a daily basis again. (I hope they missed me as much as I missed them!)  There are so many more exciting things to come for the remainder of the summer, so we will continue to update y'all on those.
