Journal Entry

Today was a good productive day. I have a strong sense of accomplishment after working today & doing my Peer Success group/mentoring. I have three mentorees now that I meet with/ every evening & we discuss the goals they set for the week & anything else that may be on their mind. It helps me too – mentoring helps me communicate with/ my peers & helps keeps me involved & being a positive influence. I always maintain a positive mindset even when things may not be going my way. I never would’ve thought that I would connect with/ so many people (especially people outside my circle -people I’m familiar with/ ) & bond with/ them in the sense that they turn to me for all kinds of guidance. It all has made me want to be a better person & helps me strive to always do better & be better. I’ve been seriously considering going into recovery type work…today was a good day.
