Aren’t the point of blogs to be transparent? If so, I definitely believe what I will be writing about will hit the nail on the head. The past week or so at my fellowship was tough. I felt like I was spinning my wheels with solutions to our little numbers in our kids’ time programming. I had done a lot of advertising (it worked a little), but I knew that we were not at a satisfactory point. As I wrote about last week, week one we had zero kids and week two we had five. That’s pretty discouraging. On Tuesday, my supervisor and the branch executive sat down and talked about solutions. We brought up good questions, brain stormed a lot of ideas, and talked about moving forward. That next day, I went into the program with the best attitude I could. We had a fourth of July party with worksheets, snacks, and kickball. Needless to say, it was awesome! We had a total of sixteen kids total! Kids who attended were between the ages of 6 and 12. When I was recording the attendance at the end of the day, I knew the break through had finally happened. It felt so good to go from discouragement to complete encouragement! I am very excited to see what the next few weeks have in store at the YMCA.
