Mentoring

I recently started mentoring a seventeen-year-old boy named Jacob, and it has been such a rewarding experience. I would encourage everyone I know to consider mentoring. There are so many children who desperately need somebody to talk to. Just listening and spending time can show them that the world is a better place than they thought and give them hope and confidence for the future. So many kids get a raw deal, and being a mentor will help one of them in a very personal and dramatic way. If you can, find out about programs and opportunities near you. You won't regret it.
