"Being a Mentor" by Susan of Federal Way
Two years ago a friend told me about Communities In Schools and how she became a mentor. She made the experience sound so wonderful that I signed up to be a mentor the following year. Nothing could have prepared me for this experience – it is life-changing. My mentee is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She is determined, hopeful and unstoppable. For one hour a week, we meet and talk, do activities and inspire each other. I am so proud of her, and what she has and will accomplish. I highly recommend becoming a mentor, make a difference in a child’s life and have a child make an impact in your life – you won’t regret it.

One Child At A Time
“When working with Michael, we finally got into the subject of grades. I was able to get permission from his mom to access his grades through the school’s on-line system. Michael was embarrassed and I was really worried when I saw he was failing four of his five classes. We talked about how he really wanted to go to high school the following year and how that wasn’t going to happen if he didn’t pass his classes. Over the next few months we looked as his grades and homework on-line each time we met and talked about ways he could be successful. Slowly, his grades began to move upward and by the end of the year, he passed with all C’s! We were both very excited and Michael is now a freshman at Federal Way High School!”
