I have had the amazing opportunity to mentor an amazing student named Eric. He is a kind individual who needs a lot of pushing to get things done. By mentoring him i was able to get to no a lot of other refugee students at my school and to also show them my support. Eric and i have had some amazing adventures, endless buffets, movies, golfing and etc. Chris and I are so grateful that we are able to help a child's life by helping him with his education. Eric tests my patience each day, but when i see his report with no F's or D's, a huge smile on face comes across. He shows me everyday that he can do it, he can be smart and be successful in his every day life. I am thankful that my school has given me this opportunity. By helping Eric i have met another teacher who mentors an entire family of students. They are so hilarious they make my day. The come and give me hugs everyday and tell me how grateful they are to see me. It warms my heart that i am able to help these students who had to leave their countries to find a safe haven in America.
