“What do we live for if its not to make life less difficult for each other?” Many of us students struggle throughout High School with parents getting divorced, loosing a loved one, teenage pregnancy, and family issues etc. These obstacles shouldn’t get in the way of continuing with life and furthering in our education and future.

All mentors and mentis got out of second and third period to gather up in Spartan hall. We played games for example: banana and I like my neighbor. We did so many fun activities which had all of us laughing and having a good time. Then we spoke with our mentis in classes we can help them and how they shouldn’t give up because that’s not a solution to life. After this was done I kept in touch with my mentis. I would go to there classes to see if they were doing good I would help them with there subjects mainly geometry and chemistry. They would tell me the problems they would have how it was affecting them and I would help them resolve there problems. Being a mentor is a blessing im not going to stop helping students in need because no one should go through high school
