I finally made a breakthrough with one of my freshman last week. Usually, all he seems to want to talk about during our one-on-ones is sports. The conversations go a little something like thisme: Hey! What's up? How was your week so far?
him: Good
me: Would you like to elaborate?
him: Really good
me: So how are sports coming along?
him: Can I go now?
That was a typical conversation when we would have one-on-ones, but last week was different. In an effort to get some substantial words from him, I asked him more about home life and, to my surprise, he actually opened up. I was so glad that he did, that I opened up about my home troubles, to show him that he can open up to me about anything.

Yeah me too this stuff is carazayyyyy
Awwwww that's so nice. Well I hope all your freshman will be able to open up to you as well. I wish you much luck with them becuase most of the are immature and hard to deal with. It's like having little children who won't shut up. Well at least you want to hear what they have to say. Other Mentors just dont care. Very proud of you Ms. Webby. Keep up the good work. :)
