Last Saturday I had an event for Oregon Mentors called Greg Oden's Summer Slam, it was a fun event where lots of kids and their mentors came out and just had a fun day. It was open to the public so there was also booths where people can sign up to be mentors. I went to every booth and learned a little about all the mentoring programs that are around Portland, there are some really good ones that need help. So if anyone out there that wants to look into it, believe me there are a lot of kids that need and older influence in their lives thats not their parents. The event also had games like Guitar Hero 3, Pin Pong, Air Hockey, a Shuffle Board, blow up things, and kareokee. People have already seen the video of me singing N'synce "Its Gonna Be Me," im not gonna lie, i sound terrible. My thing was it was for the kids they enjoyed me singing so thats all that matters. Also the court at the Rose Garden was open so i went down and ended the day playing Knock Out with the little kids first then the big kids, and yes I WON, i even dunked on a kid. Dont ask me how in a game of knock out, but i managed. In all it was a fun day and im happy the idea of mentoring and that the mentors and mentees had a fun time out.
