Dear Kim,
“Having you as my mentor for a second year has meant so much knowing you are serious about seeing a better person within me. Last year our relationship was kind of restricted and this year we’ve been through the happy times and the bad times as well. With your help, I’ve become more open minded and I’ve made wiser decisions. I will never forget when we went bowling with my brother and kicked his rear end lol XD”
Your Mentee, Stacey
"I would like to thank my mentor for talking to me about college and helping me with problems. I know my mentor cared because he always asked about my parents. He always told me to take care of myself. In Rhino I learned to trust people and keep control of my life".
communicative to others, to be able to be understood when someone doesn’t know me, to be respectful, and how to work as a team.
I want to thank my mentor for all the attention she gave me. I thank her for the support and for listening to me during difficult situations. I know she cares for me because she listens to me and she gives me advise. I know she cared for me when we went skateboarding together for the first time. I have learned that I can open up to people without being judged. I have also learned someone cares about my life and I don’t necessarily need to hide or put a shield in front of me.
"I would like to thank Aaron for being here for me, having fun with me, and laughing. I would also like to thank him for helping me out with my interest in music, thanks Aaron. The one thing he did that let me know he cared was when he actually took me into his house and introduced me to his wife. Another event was when he came to see me perform in the play "Electricidad" in which I was a part of. In this program I learned that the world doesn’t accept shyness. That will always stay with me and I thank the Lord I’m not a shy a person".
"I thank my mentor for giving me the opportunity to meet someone like her and always making my days remarkable. I also thank Liz for being a really nice person and always being supportive. Thanks Liz for all those great times we had. I knew my mentor cared when she took me to her office and she showed me the things that she was into. She even gave me a grammy CD of 2008 even before it was released. I also remember when she took me horse back riding and telling me to be careful and teaching me how to ride a horse. Something that I learned and experienced in this program that made me grow was when we had to cover our eyes and let our mentors guide us. That showed me that I can trust someone and shouldn’t be scared. I also learned that if you have team work you can achieve something greater than if you work alone".
"I would like to thank my mentor for taking me out to meseums which are the places I like. I also want to thank him for hanging out and having fun with me. My mentor lets me know he cares for me because he spends his hour break with me. Through this program I learned to communicate with others. For example, you never know when the person next to you in class, school, or even your neighbor can end up being your friend and share things with each other".
"I would like to thank my mentor for being there for me and being a friend that I can count on when I needed him. He gave me advice to have a better relationship with my mom and listened to how I felt about my mom. What I have learned in this program that will help me grow and make a better life for myself is to communicate with others, to understand when someone doesn’t know me, to be respectful, and how to work as a team".
" I would like to thank Kim for being supportive and taking the time to listen to me when I had something to say, also for taking the time in writing me e-mails, and checking up on me. When I had something personal to talk about, you were there to listen and give me positive advice. During the time that we had to create a poem I learned that I have my own voice and that I can’t let anybody else speak for me. Now I will speak for myself and I won’t let nobody tell me I can’t do it because I know I can".
