Another year has passed at Northern Arizona University, this year is coming to a end and it is very bittersweet. The very first group of student mentors I helped trained 3 years ago will be graduating this year. What an outstanding group of students.....I have watched them grow, laugh, lead, cry and learn so much about themselves. Peer Jacks has become such a family and I have definitely learned as much from my mentors as they have learned from me.
To all the graduates, I will miss you, but I also know that you will confidently go onto bigger and better things. Serena Sauceda, Michael Ebersold, Jessica Uithoven, Jazmine Mincey, Kylie Suter, Kaitlin Fitzgerald, Kimberly Munson, Sydney Wilson, Dylan Mills, Jessica Hardi, Josh Meyers, Shauna Walker, Kelsey Lytle, Megan Saba, Paige Zagar, Christina Tymchak, ......you will be missed....safe travels and much love!!!!
So the summer awaits, to recruit freshman students to the program, prepare for the training in the fall and also preparing for my new class in the 2nd 8 weeks of the semester!!!! I cannot wait and will be focusing this year on helping my staff feel appreciated and safe at Peer Jacks....safe to be who they are, be heard and grow in a supportive environment.!!!
