New Appreciation

“My experience with my mentee has been by turns, challenging, rewarding, frustrating, eye-opening.  I have a new appreciation for the problems a young woman faces in this situation; when I think back to how immature I was at her age, my empathy for her deepens.  There’s no doubt in my mind that the One by One program is having a positive impact on her and her family.  My mentee’s precious baby was born almost six months ago and we are both in love with this beautiful gift from God.  It has been such a blessing to me to watch mom grow maternally.  I believe God has placed my mentee in my life and me in hers!  We have ‘connected’ and that is amazing to me.” – a OBO mentor
