Dec 12- 16th

This week students prepared for finals by using YESS  time to support one another. It was great to hear mentors asking other mentors for calculus help, and mentess asking their mentors to review and edit a paper. Students really went into finals being as best prepared as possible.

At the beginning of the week the North mentor leaders did presentations on DACA. Leonel went to a conference at Metro state called "Here To Stay".  He went representing YESS. He took many notes and complied the information he got into a presentation for students. Maybe some students are undocumented and are not sure if they should continue to apply for DACA. Maybe there is a student in class who has a friend  or family member that is thinking about doing DACA. Now they are wondering "Should I"? Leonel broke it down to students about what can happen to DACA come January since it is an executive order.  We talked about other programs that support undocumented students and schools in Colorado that allow students to go on in-state tuition.

Students enjoyed breakfast burritos provided by YESS and took some time to eat, relax, and study!
