Why I Became A Peer-Helper Comments

Good Day Sir Edwards, i write this in hope that you will see it as I am unable to respond directly. I thank you for writing such worded comments, i found it a very interesting read. Thank you.

(continued) ............... i applaud your helping others. it is a fine thing to do, even if not all those you 'help' profit from it as i assume you wish. i too have been a peer-helper..........with adults with mental illness and children and adults in literacy programs. now i limit myself to supportive, friendly calls to a couple of males with 'mental illness', and to volunteer work in the local library. it helps others AND me as well! to MyPoemList. bri ;)

(continued) .......... i never went back to school and never missed having a degree! i made some friends in college, but most of my life has been 'successful'; and has had little to do with my 'higher education' experiences. i met my first of 4 wives in college. :) (continued) ..............

favorite lines: (for the thought expressed, and the wording, and the rhyme) Why would I let another student struggle with untying a tight knot? The life lesson of being kind and helpful to others is something which I haven't forgot. (continued) ..........
