The Mentor Wars


One of the Senior Girls just
got her acceptance letter
from her DREAM college,
Lander. She is THRILLED.
(This picture is not
of her)
So, as many of you may know, I have STRUGGLED to have meetings with my mentor, Mrs. Chamlee. However, today was the lucky day! We met at McAlister's Deli, and she graciously paid for my lunch! Even though it has taken us a while to meet, I had forgotten how much I enjoined her and having her as a mentor. Lunch today was really good, and we talked about everything. Because two of the girls at the EHSGH are seniors in High school, I wondered where they went after college and on holidays at college and such. She said that the girls can legally sign out of the girls home at age 17 and be on their own after college. She said that some of the girls can still be residents there during college, but many of them choose not to be. However, if the girl decides not to sign out of DSS custody, there re perks. Such as money to buy a car and an appartment. I leaned a lot about my mentor over the short lunch break today, and we talked about almost everything. We both laughted about the mentor war deal, and decided that Mcalister's Deli was the meeting spot from now on! I'm gonig to shaddow her job in the next few weeks. Can't Wait!

  1. I am so glad you and Chamlee connected. It sounds like she has a lot to offer you.
    I think the idea of working at the home would be good if you can find the right time and a group of students who are willing. Are you thinking of seniors or other classes?
