I'm excited to interview on Thursday to become a New Pathways Program mentor in the March 2010 program.  I originally heard about the volunteering opportunity through my roommate, looked over her materials, and called the office!

As a youth, I didn't have a mentor, which looking back, would have helped motivate me to concentrate on my assignment and look at "the big picture," instead of being bogged down by high school.  I'm interested in learning the language of the program's curriculum to help be an effective mentor as I work alongside my match as their adviser for the next nine months.

Well, looking forward to being accepted and posting again as an official mentor in the upcoming March program!
