Sheriff,
Just a little good news for you about Hero’s and Kid’s. I have had the opportunity to work with several different children the last couple of times I’ve been to White Oak Grove Church. But Tuesday was special. A little girl was sitting at the table yesterday, looking as if she was struggling to read a book. I sit down beside her and ask her if she would like to read to me, she said she would, but was having trouble with some of the words. I told her that it was ok and I would help her. We finished the book and excitedly she ran and got another one and ask if I would help her read that one. I did. She then took me by the hand and took me in to the computer lab and ask me to help her with her computer work, so we started doing her computer work, which was about reading comprehension, I didn’t give her any answers, but I did have her think about what she read. When she made 100 percent, she got excited because she said she had never got 100 on her computer testing. I then sit down and played a numbers game with her and two of her friends. She told me she was going to tell her mama that she liked the police now. When I got ready to leave her and her friends ask me to stay I told them I would see them tomorrow, they all three hugged me. I guess this is our goal. Maybe we can change some views and bridge the gap if we keep going about it the right way.
