This week, my new thing is meeting with a mentoring program. I originally submitted my application to volunteer with the program with the intention of working with youth, however, they have a big need for adult-to-adult mentors so that is where I will be helping out.
I am a little nervous, I explained that I didn't want to mentor anyone older than me (25) because I know that if some 16 year old tried to mentor me I wouldn't be to thrilled about it. I will meet with my mentee (is that a word?) for two hours every other week. Basically it just involves us meeting for a cup of coffee (or in my case, tea) and just talking.
I hope I am able to be a positive influence in someone's life. I think it is so important to give back if we are able. I will let you know how my first meeting goes :-)
