  It's a hard time to be a kid. With all kinds of negative peer pressures, it's tough to navigate without a caring adult to help them through. Many of the kids we serve have added challenges; most of them live in poverty or low-income homes, and more than 80% of them don't have a family history of higher education. Luckily, College Mentors for Kids provides college student mentors to serve as positive role models for these kids and open their eyes to new opportunities, helping them to create new visions for their futures. I love being a mentor because I get to spend time with my little buddy, Miriah, each week. She is a very opinionated little girl and she always speaks her mind, whether I like it or not. ☺ I know that with some positive reinforcement in her life, she will grow up and do great things with her life. College Mentors provides resources for Miriah and other students like her to become exposed to higher education and to get them thinking about their futures. I love talking about careers, culture and diversity, and community service with my buddy because these are topics that these students are not typically confronted with in their daily lives. Working with children is something I love to do. It's important to me to give back to the community and help kids that maybe didn’t have all of the opportunities that I had growing up. Show less
