Reflections: Rebecca Partlow

“This past year as an EV Leader has not only made me become more involved in my community but also to encourage those around me to make themselves aware of the obstacles different parts of our community faces. Working in the mentoring program has shown me the impact that taking the kids out of the classroom setting and having some one on one time, they are always eager to share their day with the mentors and they go back to the class more excited to learn and continue their day. Throughout the last year my tolerance and patience have been challenged, but working with the kids made me realize the need to really stop and listen which I took to practice in all of the projects that I participated in as an EV Leader. Mostly from being an EV Leader I have gained a heightened awareness of the needs of the community and a greater desire to make a positive impact within the community.”
