At Pathways for Children, I am a teen mentor for a ten-year-old girl whose mother overcame breast cancer and whose father passed away when she was younger. I meet her once a week for one to two hours, and we do various activities together, such as reading or playing board games. I also teach her French, as she is very interested in learning this language. Simply put, I aim to be a positive role model for a young woman whose has faced hardships that I cannot even imagine.
In order to become a teen mentor, I had to undergo a six-week training program where I learned the nuances of dealing with young children. The reason I picked this position was to get the immense emotional gratification of realizing that I had a positive impact on someone
