            <p>A Houston native and member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Mecham wanted to help with the Hurricane Harvey relief efforts after the tropical storm left <a target="_blank" href="https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/tropical-storm-harvey-forecast-texas-louisiana-arkansas" class="sense-link" data-contentId="544108">40 to 52 inches of water</a> in southeast Texas and Louisiana. The only trouble was, she wasn’t quite sure how to do it.</p>            <p>“A lot of people had trucks, they had boats, and they were going around rescuing people,” she said. “I don’t have a truck, I don’t have a boat and I was trying to figure out . . . ‘What can I do?' All the shelters already had so many donations. When I went and dropped off donations, I felt like it wasn’t really making a dent anywhere.”</p>            <p>The mother of two also noticed that the children in the shelters seemed frightened and confused.</p>            <p>“All the kids there were just kind of sad . . . and none of them really moved from their cots very much because they were in an unfamiliar place and didn’t know what to do,” she said.</p>            <p>And then it struck Mecham that she could cheer them up. Employed part-time for a company that hosts tea parties for little girls, Mecham was able to borrow a princess outfit from her employer. As she traveled to different shelters, Mecham offered hugs and posed for photos with any child who wanted one.</p>            <p>“They just thought it was the best thing in the world,” Mecham said.</p>            <p>The visits didn’t end there, though. Mecham also sang songs, read books and practiced princess etiquette with girls at the shelter. Proper twirling, hand-waving, curtsying and a princess parade were also a part of the agenda.</p>                    <div id="ad_wrapper_dynamic_inline_ad_2" class="responsive-ad ad ads responsive-ad  adunit-wrapper adunit-wrapper--article-inline">

But the experience gave her new perspective on what it means to serve others, she said.</p>            <p>“My family didn’t have to evacuate,” said Mecham. “It would be really, really easy for us just to be in our bubble and think, ‘Oh, well, you know, it’s fine, nowhere around here is flooded. No one really needs my help.’</p>            <p>“Going out and seeing these little kids . . .

One of my career roles for a time was as a library media teacher in a public school setting. Reading story books to the elementary kids was the best! Even in a normal setting, we have students whose circumstances outside of school are less than desirable. And all the children enjoy it.\nI know of more than a few instances where even high school age students have benefited from a story--even a tragic one.\nWe had serious floods several years ago where we had to muck out basements in an area in our town. I&#039;m now getting old enough to not be as physically capable as I once was. But I can still spin a good yarn!
