We have this guy at our school. He runs a mentoring program for boys.
We still have that group of about 20 boys that were running the school last year. They all are in some gang or another. They come to school high and beat each other up. They get in trouble all the time.
The mentor guy has decided to have something like a Bad Kids Forum (with a more PC name). He wants to bring all these boys together and do some group mentoring. In order to get them to come, he told them it is a place for them to come talk about their situations without fear of retribution.
Who's gonna be there? they ask. We ain't sayin NOTHIN to principal.
No. Mentor guy says. Only the people you want to be there. People you think will listen to you. People you trust. You tell me.
Oh. okay. We want you, Ms. Vinson and Mr. Clay. Nobody else.
Is it weird that this warms my heart?
