This month we read The Student Whisper that was written by Oliver DeMille and Tiffany Earl. I found this book to be very helpful for the stage of life I am in right now. I have been running a book group based on Classics and TJEd books for the last 3 1/2 years. To say that my life has been transformed during this process, would be an understatement. But if there was one gaping whole in my education right now, it would be a formal Mentor.
In the first half of the book, Tiffany Earl takes you back into the beginning of her life. I could relate to her honesty and her drive to make a difference in the world. She shares what it felt like to be mentored Oliver DeMille. What a incredible opportunity. As I read about Tiffany's life goals, her struggle to reach them, and the guidance that she received, I began to look at my own. It made realize that I am on a good road. I have experienced some stumbling blocks, but I now have the courage to keep moving forward.
The second half of the book is by Oliver DeMille. He explains in detail, how to be come a great mentor - a Student Whisperer. This was so insightful. I realized that I am Student Whispering my four children all ready in my own natural style. But I can use some fine tuning. I believe with time, I will be able to have a Master's touch too.
Even though I might not have the privilege of being personally Mentored by someone like Oliver, I am so grateful for this book and their insights. It has helped me on my own path and mission.
