ence from which they eagerly look forward to seeing their TeamMate again. Also, to the teachers, parents, and counselors delight, the TeamMates Program seems to have an exceptional affect on students. It keeps them in school and help students achieve better grades. Furthermore, the adult TeamMate stays with their TeamMate throughout their school years.
For the adult, they get to know more about the younger generation and interact with them. Plus, they can be a role model, a friend, and maybe even change a student's life in a positive way. This program also helps the adult TeamMate

with their goals. One TeamMate, Terry Bailey said, "My goal in life is to enjoy it, quoting Mrs.Fabry on a remark she had made, ' Either you're part of the problem or part of the solution.' I would like to think I'm part of the solution. The TeamMates Program helps today youths discover the value of education and establishes own goals in the adult."
Even though the TeamMates Program i flourishing, there's still improvements that need to be done. Mr . Yost, who's in charge of the program, wants to have rriore of a diverse culture, more male TeamMates, people who have a disabilities, and to increase the amount of TeamMates total. Mrs.Yost wishes that more people from the community would get involved in the TeamMate Program and be
able to take part in a student's education. Hopefully, more students will have a TearnMate once the program becomes larger. •
When Terry Bailey was asked why she felt other students hould have a TeamMate, she replies, "It's a way for each student to feel individually important within the larger· community."
Hopefully, this program will continue in the future and all schools will partake in it.
