I almost forgot to write about one new role I'm able to play; high school mentor to an incoming freshman. The city of Dayton selects a group of 50 students and arranges for a full high school tuition scholarship and a mostly full ride scholarship to local colleges/universities.
The College Promise program matches each student with a mentor who will meet with them on a weekly basis; ideally the same individual for the entirety of high school.
I volunteered to mentor one of our new students, Precious. I have the advantage of being an on-site mentor, so she can just pop into my office for our weekly meetings.
Although I'm feeling the crunch of a new year, I have so much to look forward to, and SO much to be thankful for!
