On October 8th, my classmates and I visited Port Richmond Highschool. Our learning community teachers have required us to be mentors to Port Richmond students. Arriving at Port Richmond Highschool we were taken on a tour of the school, mainly focussing on their culinary program. Students once a day have a cooking class where they cook various meals. Monday and Tuesday the students discuss the foods they will be making, Wednesday and Thursday they begin cooking and on Friday they all eat.  As a student coming from a private catholic highschool this was an extremely different environment. I never had the oppurtunity to be in a culinary program in my highschool. These students were able to make various foods that i can not even make, i find that amazing. My job as a mentor is to help these students and guide them into college and their future. Walking into the classroom i was nervous because i had no idea what to say to these students from the minute that i was in their shoes a couple of years ago. I found a group of students and i started a conversation with a girl named Allison. She was extremely welcoming and opened towards me. Im excited to mentor Allison to be able to guide her in her path to college because i know the process can be extremely stressful. I enjoyed my trip to port richmond im excited to go back.
