Unfortunately, this visit there was a mix-up, and everyone at Bon Air thought that we weren’t coming. The kids didn’t get there until very late. \u00a0From the time I did get one on one with Sage, I saw a big improvement on how he seemed to view me. \u00a0He called me Tilley instead of Miss Mentor. \u00a0I’m glad were connecting on a more personal level instead of the original formal one. \u00a0Sage and I both admitted we were tired today, but that didn’t stop us from making nice conversation. \u00a0After we told stories about school that reminded us both of memories from home. \u00a0We just shared with each other about being normal kids until it was time to go. \u00a0I get a feeling that Sage is one of the more mature ones of the group, and he really wants to change. \u00a0He always makes comments about wanting a fresh start and seems to be an ambassador for everyone. Every time we meet I am more impressed with him. \u00a0I hope next week we get more one on one time. \u00a0I noticed that the group as a whole was better at coming up with a story even if it took some prompting. \u00a0I hope each trip to Bon Air keeps getting better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
