My favorite TLay memory is learning how baseball works soley through playing kickball with the kids.

4th-Year Cognitive Science and Psychology Major | Sociology and Studio Art Minors Hey guys! Send me your photos of the kids to get featured on our social accounts, and contact me if you would like representatives from Thomas Lay to be involved in your community event. My favorite memory from Thomas Lay was my very first day as a walk-in mentor. I got placed with a student who had to write two compound sentences for her homework. She instead decided to dramatically roll on the ground screaming and kicking her shoes off instead even though I pretty much read her paragraph for her and made the sentences. I can't believe I came back but now I've been on the executive board for around 2 years. Email: thomaslaypr@gmail.com
