Posting on Mentorship Blogs

Every time I press the Post Comment button I get warm fuzzys inside. I have a moment of awe where I think about what I'm really doing I am mentoring kids I have never met, in places I have never been and how that would have been nearly impossible 10 years ago. Does anybody else have these moments too?

    I feel this exact way! Honestly, we are all in teaching because of the kids (at least I hope so anyways). When I comment on their blogs, I feel like I am actually putting my education to use-- I would much rather get experience with real kids than write a 10 page paper on the history of women in teaching... this is just so meaningful and useful and it's making the students feel the same way!

    Exactly its putting our knowledge to use. What you said about being there for the kids is so important. If you don't love your job then change it. Those kids don't have a choice to be there but you do.

    I feel like I'm making a difference when I post on a student's blog; like I'm expanding their education to more than their classroom teacher can alone. I am looking forward to Skyping with my classrooms so I can get to know them better.

    Robbie you took the words outta my mouth!
    I am working with kids in Virginia and have been told that the kids look forward to talking or contacting me on a daily basis... Just think of the impact we are having on these kids when we are thousands of miles away! Pretty amazing...
