When Jacob was in 3rd grade, his school teacher lined up a mentor for Jacob that likes to draw. She told me that Nathan was one of her former students and reminded her so much of Jacob. Jacob was always drawing on his papers and not staying on task. Having Nate come draw with him gave him an incentive to get his work done. He enjoyed his time with Nate drawing pictures with him that year. Around December, this year, I contacted Nate and asked if he would be interested in drawing with Jake once again. And so it began that once a week or so, I take Jake to the Dayton library where he and Nate drew for an hour. Jacob really enjoys his time talking makes and models and drawing with Nate. I can tell Nate is enjoying it just as much as Jake. They entertain one another. They go back and forth about Pacer's. Recently, Nate showed Jake his shop and what he is currently working on, He restores vehicles, adds a different body or engine. I am glad that Jake has the opportunity to draw with someone who really understands and can teach him some new techniques.
