I have been a proud member of College Mentors for Kids since Freshman year. When Heaven, my little buddy, joined the program, it was also her first year as a little 1st grader. We have been buddy and mentor for going on 3 years now. We have both grown so much from our relationship. This is the case for so many of our little buddies and mentors.
Since I will be student teaching next year, this will be my last year in the program. Because of this, I end on a really good note. While I can never give back all that I have gotten out of this program, I hope to raise enough funding to ensure that other kids and mentors are able to participate and grow from College Mentors like Heaven and I have.
