Campbell Hall Mentor Report

School, especially high school, can be an overwhelming experience. New surroundings. New faces. No wonder, it is easy to lose one’s way while trying to navigate this uncharted territory.

As a ninth grader, I experienced feelings of loneliness, nervousness, and helplessness. Thankfully, I was paired with a Campbell Hall Mentor. He encouraged and helped me get through my ninth grade year without any major issues.

Before entering the tenth grade, I decided to become a Campbell Hall Mentor. I thought, “What a fantastic way to give back and help an incoming night grader.” Boy, was I right. Mentoring allowed me to share my wisdom about the “Campbell Hall Way.” I showed my mentee how to study, maximize his free blocks by doing homework,

and get involve in extracurricular activities. Most importantly, I became my mentee’s friend. Sometimes, we ate lunch or did homework together. Now, I continue to work with mentees each year.

Mentoring ninth graders is what I do to nourish a better humankind. It is a self-rewarding and fulfilling experience. Campbell Hall’s Mentorship Program allows me a platform to positively influence another human being. It is my hope that my hard work will inspire others to become a Campbell Hall Mentor.
