When you come once a week to DLS as a one-on-one mentor, you

come not only as someone who can help a middle school student

with their math or reading, but you come proclaiming that the child to
whom you have dedicated an hour or two of your time matters
incalculably. You remind that student that their individuality, their

strengths and struggles, carry weight in a world that might otherwise

disregard them. It is a transformative privilege and a real responsibility

to share your own knowledge and individuality with students.
