I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 297: Mentoring.
One of the things I decided to do for my Field Practicum class is mentor someone at the inpatient treatment facility I volunteer at. Today I had a meeting with one of the therapists so that we could figure out who would be a good match for me to mentor.
I really don't know what qualifications would make someone a good mentor. I would hate to be someone's mentor and not enjoy it or even make the kid worse. But I'm going to go ahead and take a chance and mentor someone who needs some support from an adult-like figure.
