This week in class, it was my turn to teach.  I really enjoyed teaching the class with Cole this week.  It went pretty smoothly, as I thought it should after getting to see many of you teach us before we went.  I thought that the topic we had to teach is definitely an important one.  Having good ethics as a peer educator can depict whether you are an effective leader/teacher.  All of the topics we introduced, as well as what Allie and Chelsee introduced are all situations which very likely could arise while we are teaching.  It is, however, comforting to know that we have Debra, Allie, and Chelsee to seek advice from if need be.  Just as we have them, we also have the rest of us peer mentors as a group to talk and consult with.  Although Megan, Easten, and Sebastian have done this one year already, the rest of us are in the same boat.  We are all being peer educators for the Hixson program for the first time, and I'm really looking forward to the experience with all of you.  I hope that you all took something away from our lesson, and feel more prepared for these types of situations in the fall.  Remember that you can always consult your book for advice as well!

Tonight was the etiquette dinner that the Hixson Student Board put on.  I am really glad that I went because I really learned a lot.  I'm glad to have the opportunity to learn such things through this program.  She gave us some really great lessons, stories, and insightful information that will be really useful in the future in formal dinner situations such as banquets and dinner job interviews.  She was very knowledgable on the topic, and was very willing to answer any questions that we had.  I really enjoyed her.  I also really enjoyed myself at dinner, getting to talk to some of the other Hixsons and other peer mentors.  Overall, it was a great experience.

Hope you all have a fun and SAFE Veishea!! (:
