Special+Friends



A few of ACA students, including me, were in a group called Special Friends. We went to Columbus Elementary School and were assigned to a young student. We were their "big brother" and once a month for our lunch break we would go visit them at school and eat lunch with them, play individual games or group games with them and act as a mentor to the children.. My Special Friend was Alexa.. We also had the opportunity to meet them at the Boys and Girls Club with them after school. I have and when you go you help them with their homework, go outside, and play in the gym. This was a wonderful lifetime experience for me. (2012)
