Girl's Snowboarding, Weekend Two Part II!

Girl's Snowboarding, Weekend Two

Hey, thanks for your generosity… I really appreciate the fact that you gave me an experience of a life time. I really hope that you understand by reading this that it has really meant a lot to me to be here. Thanks for providing the gear and expenses for this weekend…. The aches and pains I feel in my body right now is totally worth it. Thanks to you tomorrow when I go to school I will be able to tell my friends.

Hi!
This has been one of the greatest weekends of my life, I was able to conquer my fear of heights and just go for it. To speed down a hill and see snow, to feel carefree if at least for a few hours and leave my life in South Central behind has been an amazing opportunity.
Thank you for providing a beautiful home for our stay and for giving as the equipment we need. From the bottom of my hearth I thank you for your kindness. May you be blessed with thousands of “thank you” and beautiful moments too.

What an adventure! From starting the day walking up the Green bunny slope to making the lift operators hold the lift open for us on the last run of the day so we could kick butt down a dope Blue run, the girls did AMAZINGLY!! I was so impressed by ALL OUR LADIES today! Hopefully they will continue to practice their skills on the slopes…. We need more snowboarders is this world, haha  And these girls have serious potential!! I don’t think I learned how to snowboard half as quickly when I started out as everybody did today. Their dedication and willingness to push themselves blew me away!!! I don’t think I heard one person complain about being tired or refusing to try it again…

HOLD UP… someone put the wrong type of soap in the dishwasher, and there are bubbles EVERYWHERE.
~Okay, Derrion’s got it under control!

I love this group!!!

BIG THANKS TO BOARDING HOUSE MENTORS for this awesome opportunity on behalf of all mentors and mentees of Youth Mentoring Connection. I am definitely grateful to be apart of YMC’s team and this snowboarding retreat. This experience was refreshing as well as rewarding in every aspect. I had the opportunity to attend last year’s snow boarding retreat and I am happy that I was invited to come again. Over the weekend I realized that I look forward to this event. I am ecstatic to be surrounded by such caring and wonderful individuals. Personally; I cannot imagine my life without Youth Mentoring Connection, mentors, and our teens.
