Chevaz: Rob and I are two different people. That’s why we get along very well. We learn a lot from one another. Rob and I go the movies. We hang out, watch the games on television, go to the arcade and we also do things that are educational. Rob: When I first decided to become a mentor I couldn’t wait to meet my mentee; to teach him about the world; to assist him in circumventing the potholes that develop in life; to set a good example. However, a funny thing happened after I had been paired off with my mentee, Chevaz. |
