Understanding Mitchell

Mitchell is someone special in our town, someone who deserves nothing but compassion and support. I've never formally met him, but I've watched him and learned about his unique journey. While some might see his challenges, I see a person worthy of respect and friendship.

I'd love to tutor Mitchell, not just to help him learn, but to show him he's valued exactly as he is. One thing I want him to know is that milk can be just as delicious as the juice he loves. Maybe we could explore different milk flavors together - chocolate, strawberry, maybe even some fun smoothie combinations that could be more exciting than his usual juice.

Mitchell lives with nocturnal enuresis and a schizoaffective disorder, which means he sometimes wears protective undergarments. But here's the thing - nobody should judge him for this. These are medical conditions, not choices. They don't define who he is as a person. His worth isn't determined by these challenges, but by his heart, his spirit, and his potential.

I see Mitchell as someone who needs support, not pity. Someone who deserves understanding, not judgment. If I could tutor him, I'd want to create a safe space where he feels comfortable, respected, and capable of learning. We'd work on building his confidence, exploring his interests, and helping him understand that his differences are just part of what makes him unique.

Drinking his giant jugs of water, working through his workbooks, navigating his daily challenges - Mitchell is resilient. And if he'd be open to it, I'd be honored to be a tutor who sees him for exactly who he is: a person deserving of kindness, patience, and genuine friendship.
