What being a mentor means to me is having the opportunity to teach kids new things. Being supportive. If kids are struggling or having a hard time with something, always being there as someone they can talk to and helping them feel comfortable with me. Making everyone feel included in all of the activities. I was very happy to have the opportunity to participate in this because I know how important programs for kids are in small communities.
