Personal Blog from Ian C- Basketball Life: B Better U

This is a blog shared from student-athlete Ian Corella from Simpson University. He wrote a blog on BBU because he will be volunteering in our organization in various parts of our programs to complete his hours for his Ministry Practicum class. We are honored and pleased to have such an awesome young man be apart of BBU. He is now a new BBU Life Changer and Eagle that we look forward to working with and him serving to others through our programs. Thank you Ian for taking the time to share your blog with us!

 B Better U


At Simpson University, all students are required to do a certain amount of service hours before they can graduate. The school turned this service into a class format to help students fulfill their duties. This class is called Ministry Practicum.

 I decided to do my Ministry Practicum through an organization called B Better U. This organization was started by Simpson University's Women's Assistant Basketball Coach, Bryana Williams. B Better U is "...a development mentoring organization that offers various programs and resources to children, youth and young adults. We are here to motivate, encourage and walk through life with every single one of our "Life Changers" who comes into our organization. We build a family type, safe and positive atmosphere, so that everyone feels welcomed and knows that we are not here temporarily in their life, but for a lifetime!" (Quote taken from B Better U's site).

I will be helping B Better U by possibly being a mentor, tutoring, coaching, working with service projects in the community, helping with after school programs, or a variety of other things. I see this as not just a thing I need to do to graduate but I see it as an opportunity to better myself, better the community, better other people, show God's love, and share my faith through works.
If you would like to know more about B Better U then please visit their site at http://www.startbetter.org or their blog at http://b-better-u.blogspot.com/.
