Hand Middle School

I'm actually super excited about meeting with the kids of Hand Middle School. I'm excited to get to meet my mentee; pre-teens always seem to be really fun to be around. This is the time when they really start to form their personalities and figure out who they are or want to be. Most of them are going through that weird, awkward social stage, so it'll be fun to kinda help them through that. I know all about awkward stages, so I'm pretty sure I can be a big help to them.

I'm excited to help them get involved around their schools; I know that in middle school I was in a lot of clubs. I tried a lot of different ones to figure where my interests were. So it'll be neat to help my mentee figure out his/her hobby and interests.

I am a bit nervous that I might get a kid that doesn't really want to talk back to me. I'm such a talkative person that I need a kid that I can be myself around. But I know that either way, if I get a talkative kid or a non-talkative one, I'll be able to handle it. If my student is talkative, then I'll be able to keep up; but if they're quiet, I'm normally able to bring people out of their shells and make them open up. I'll be able to adjust my own ideas and strategies for mentoring based on their personality. I'm flexible.

I can't wait to go to Hand Middle School. I'm so excited to shape and mold the youthful minds of Hand Middle School. :)
