In a predominately religious community, that would cause me loads of stress and might even be dangerous.

You're right.

Since 2006, I have been a volunteer college mentor at Wenatchee High School. I help low income, first generation students write essays for college and scholarship applications. I also teach them organization and the importance of completing deadlines early.

They are the first person in their family to go to college. This year, the girl I am mentoring is homeless.

One of my best success stories is Brenda, who won 269,544 in scholarships in 2016. A sophomore at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, Brenda plans to become a medical doctor and pathologist. She wants to cure diseases.

In June 2018, I took three young women I previously mentored on a short hike around Icicle Gorge, WA.

I'm a rockstar! In May 2018, I won the first Scholarship Rockstar award from the Wenatchee High School College Mentor program. I'm second from the left, with other volunteer mentors who won awards.

Any more positive ideas like that and I'm going to report you!

And you'll live longer, be happier and you'll find the deep pleasure which comes from helping people!
