    a Wings peer mentor means that I get to take my knowledge I have learned while at Arrowhead and share it with the people who need it the most. One of the very first things I would share with them is one my my favorite quotes of all time, said by Zig Ziglar: “You can’t climb uphill by thinking downhill thoughts”. I would like to say that I have lived by this saying everyday in my life. All around me I hear degrading things being said about other people and it makes me realize that some days, high school

One failure in my life that stands out amongst the rest is when I applied

While studying psychology/sociology this previous year, I have become drawn to the topic of human potential. After gathering what I have learned, it turns out most people want to live their life to the fullest by becoming all they can be.

    These past days, I’ve been dealing with a “friend” who meant so much to me, but “did me wrong” as people would say. I would always put him first before anyone else, because he was somehow different than the others. Like Atticus once said in “To Kill A Mockingbird,” “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his the point of view-until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.

On my spare time I read books like “Sell or be sold” by Grant Cardone, “See you at the top” by Zig Ziglar, “Live your dreams” by
