"To be an actor." "To be a firefighter." "To be a doctor." "To travel around the whole world." "To save all the animals." These are just some examples of the dreams of the kids that I work with. Coming from different backgrounds, different cultures, different families, etc., these kids all aspire to be something great when they grow up.
My life purpose is not only to make these kids smile, laugh, and have fun, but to inspire them to be the greatest version that they could possibly be!! I love being an inspiration to them because they really are our future in this world! The better that we, as adults, are for them, the better they grow and the better they become for the next generations, and those for the next, etc. I want to show these kids that those dreams they have, like the ones I mentioned earlier, are VERY possible. The positive energy that we give to each other can be used for this greater purpose, and I am grateful to be a part in it!
Having worked with so many different kids, and having been a dance instructor, a big brother, and a mentor, I enjoy being a mentor because I get to spend time with my little buddy each week and participate in fun activities together with other mentors and buddies. I also enjoy learning with my buddy about careers, culture and diversity, and community service. It's important to me to give back to the community, and I'm learning important leadership skills in the meantime.
College Mentors for Kids provides college student mentors to serve as positive role models for these kids and open their eyes to new opportunities, helping them to create new visions for their futures.
Please consider making a donation to help me meet my fundraising goal! Your contribution will allow us to continue this program on our campus so that we can make an even greater impact on these kids who need it.
"Yo Prometo." (I Promise, in Spanish). That is what I have written in ink on my bicep, to remind myself of the promise I made to myself, to fulfilling this purpose, and to all the kids of the world. Thank you.
