I loved this story Mike. Since I knew you in 8th grade, I could just picture you in this situation. Your insight at such a young age is amazing. I think you were a mentor to others in Jr.High. You were popular and always had lots of girl friends. A very sought after friend.

Wow Mike!! I realized that you were very talented but had never read any of your writings. This really touched me, how true your words are. I was a teacher aide for 20 yrs. at SHS and during a majority of those years I was privileged to work with the Special Ed. students.
I got more from those students than I could ever give to them. The courage, perserverance and strength they showed not only in their studies but also in their relationships with other students was truly inspirational. I loved them all and can truly say they were my mentors! Can’t wait to read more from you.

Mike this was a good article. I have always picked out people that no one wanted to know and befriended them. I think their the ones I learned the most from good or bad. lol I to believe everyone is a mentor no matter if you talk to them or just observe. One can learn a lot. Life is all about mentoring seeing, speaking, observing . Then figuring out how to apply it! Good youth story ! Thank for sharing !
