All of us who’ve been a part of the peer education program would undoubtedly credit our mentors and the course structure with well-deserved praises. But nonetheless how true it is, I want to emphasize on the very fundamental and simplistic ways in which this program might have changed my perspective on life. One thing I can proudly say is that over the span of six months, I have gradually developed a better understanding of myself and have worked towards distinguishing my sense of identity from others’ opinions. Each session was so wonderfully curated to address specific aspects of our individuality, and personally, some of the most impactful sessions were those that helped me identify and work on my attitude, self-esteem, managing negative self-talk, and planning my goals and working towards it. The community-like feeling with the mentors and my fellow educators definitely made me feel less alone during the difficult time of the pandemic and I sincerely cannot appreciate enough the compassion and knowledge that our mentors showered us with. I hope my future holds the opportunity to come across similar courses again!
