College Buddy Pair of May: Joon Nam (CB) and Robert Sweetwater (B)

Joon has been paired with Robert only since Spring Quarter, but I know that Robert loves this match! Joon and Robert talk on the phone frequently and have been a part of many one to one outings for Spring. Some of the things they have done together include the following: mall, Chinese food, visit Robert's mom at the hospital, and play video games. Joon is very good at returning phone calls from Robert and the officers! One of my officers regarded Joon as "a very responsible person." Besides this, Joon has been to our Spring meeting, emails me often, and updates me well. Splendid job Joon! I'm very positive that Robert really enjoys being friends with you because he is very happy when I mention you to him!

Robert has been a very active Buddy this year as well. He has been to the Spaghetti Factory Matching Social, the Halloween Party, the Ice Cream Social, the Christmas Party, the Best Buddies Dance, the Special Olymic Soccer Game, and many more events. His funny jokes make everyone laugh!

Hugo

Hugo called me today and told me how much he misses his good friend Tomas. He told me that he calls Tomas sometimes and he received a call from Johnny the other day. This summer, Hugo is not taking summer school, so he has been spending a lot of time relaxing. He can't wait to go back to school!

We decided that we want to go to bowling and go to the beach this summer.

Hugo says that he misses everybody in his school. He misses Eldon the most. He wishes he can see Eldon soon. He misses his friends Jason, Kevin O Donnell, Mayra, Jade, and David.

Since Hugo and Felix are friends, they visit each other frequently.

I wished Hugo could come over today, but he does not have a car, so I can't wait to see him next time we go out!
