Peer Mentoring Assembly

Today I went to an assembly for peer mentoring.  I thought we would just sit there and learn what to do with them but I was totally wrong.  We got into pairs and talked about really important things that would help us with our mentees.  After eating pizza for lunch we got into the really emotional part of the assembly.  We all got on one side of a line and the instructor would ask us questions about our lives.  Just to see the people that crossed the line with you and how that felt to not be alone while struggling was really a relief.  Also it really opened you up as a person, to take off your mask and let people see the real you and how you really act.  It was a great experience and an eye opener to what people are going through in there lives.  So what I'm trying to say is don't be so quick to judge people, step into there shoes and see if you could handle everything they are going through.
