__** C. Describe what you did at the site (free-write/journal formatting) **__
While at my first visit, we had a meeting where we talked about the potential mentee students and when we would start our Tuesday assignments with them at the school.
 * __1st visit:__**

I met my mentee on Thursday and he is a 3rd grade student from Rockdale Academy and lives within the at-risk neighborhood of Avondale, which is where the school is located. My expectations to be honest, was to get assigned a mentee that need vast help, but after talking with him and learning a little about his background, I definatly felt as though I could relate to him. He lies with his mom, but does has an slightly active father in his life and although there are some school subjects he struggles in such as math, he says he does have his mom help him with some homework at home. We spent only an hour together in this visit, but within that hour I got to know a great student and look forward to mentoring him.
