For today's #MentorshipMonday we have Rayna Wong an AmeriCorps member serving at Ocala Middle School. When asked the best advice she's received from her mentor, she responded "When you're stuck between 2 choices, be confident in the decision you make. If you spend time thinking about what could've been that's where depression and anxiety set in." Thank you so much for sharing with us Rayna!
Thank you @pagerduty for sponsoring our "Building Mentors for Life” campaign!
