"I was fortunate to have a great relationship with my mentee from the beginning! They were open to sharing parts of their lives and I got to be a role model to them which was the best feeling. Our relationship is one that still continues today and it's great to hear how they are doing in high school" |
"My favorite memory was reading the end of the year letter my mentee gave me in which they shared how important and how much it meant to them that I told them I accepted and loved them for who they are. After facing a struggle in their household of not being supportive of their identity, hearing how supported they felt by me as a mentor and big sister/new mom was great!" |

"I am beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to support my mentee, her willingness to open up about challenges in her life and then grow from them was inspiring. I found a lot of 8th grade me in her and it's not always easy, but having someone to support you will always make a difference in navigating a time of huge changes. As a mentor, I hope to be the difference and provide the support that she needs to grow into the amazing person I know she will be." |
