Last week we had a group discussion about support systems. The part that made last week so awesome was, having such a large group of students after school who all have different personalities and beliefs. Yet one thing they all had in common was the name Mr. Medina.
Mr. Medina works with a lot of students, some love him and some dislike him, but they all have respect for him! What each student pointed out was how effective he is with his students. Some students expressed that they had no support system until they met Mr. Medina. Mr. Medina knows hes part of these students support system but what he found out is, to some students, hes the only support system they have! It made Mr. Medina think a lot harder throughout the weekend on how he could support them even more then what he has throughout the school year. And to some students, its been longer than just this school year. Lincoln and YESS Mentoring are extremely lucky to have a man who goes above and beyond for each one of the students in his community. I hope to keep learning from such a powerful man and hope in years to come I'm as effective as he is with his students.
