I would not have made as far as I have done in my academic career without mentoring. I had to overcome a language barrier at school because at home, my parents spoke Spanish because they are Mexican immigrants. Fortunately I found a mentor who was passionate about teaching me english and made learning enjoyable. Since then I have enjoyed learning and wanted to help others be successful in school.
I have since then offered my help and advice to my fellow classmates, friends, and family. However, it was not until my sophomore year in highschool that I manage to set aside a spot into my busy schedule just for mentoring. I noticed that several of my friends were struggling with their class work and I decided that peer mentoring might be the solution.
