Connect the stories with Yvonne

1.) "Although mentors can fill any number of different roles, all mentors have the same goal in common: to help young people achieve their potential and discover their strengths.". This quote  its relating to Yvonne. She loves to dedicate her time to the youths. Her adult life literally revolved around the youth in the neighborhood. Yvonne  made the youth her job. She helped the youth out so much and impacted so many people. She took pride in what she did and how she did it. http://www.mentoring.org/get_involved/for_mentors/benefits_of_mentoring

2.) "Drug abuse is the excessive, maladaptive, or addictive use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes.". Yvonne lost her son to drugs. Drugs started to effect the youths because they were testing the drugs out. The drugs spread around fast in the community. Yvonne didn't like what was happening so she decided to make a difference. She wasn't just going to sit back and watch the community fall. Yvonne tried her best and youths looked up t her. https://www.tigweb.org/youth-media/panorama/article.html?ContentID=4223
