"Who's influenced you the most in your life?"
"My principal, Ms. Lopez."
"How has she influenced you?"
"When we get in trouble, she doesn't suspend us. She calls us to her office and explains to us how society was built down around us. And she tells us that each time somebody fails out of school, a new jail cell gets built. And one time she made every student stand up, one at a time, and she told each one of us that we matter."

"One day I got in a fight with another girl in the hallway, and Principal Lopez said that she wouldn't suspend me if I spent a day with Mr. Morris."

Mentoring works - volunteer coach gave him a strategy, a short time goal and hope to combat stuttering and its effects. .org

“I stutter when I read sometimes, and people laugh. It makes me feel ashamed, and it makes me worry that when I grow up I won’t be able to teach my kids how to read because of how I read. But I go to study hall every day because Coach Randy says that if I read a book every day, nobody will ever tell me again that I stutter.”

Mentoring Works- volunteer coach suggested techniques to handle his anger. .org

“When I was younger I couldn’t control my anger. But every day I’m working on it. Now if I make a mistake on the court, I take deep breaths like Coach Randy said, and I try not to yell. If I’m still upset, then I tell my teammates how I feel and see if they can help me.”
