Small Groups

I'm glad to hear that you guys are having small groups again. They were so much fun while they lasted. About the mentors, you guys really picked a good analogy with the Jedi master and padawan thing. Yes, a master could be the same age as a padawan, but the master would have to be absoulutely insane, or the padawan terrible. Actually, if Jedi aren't taken as padawans by I think 13, they get deported to some other place. They are still "Jedi", but they don't have as much connection with order as "real" jedi. In other words, they aren't really Jedi. So, it would have to be a really weird situation for a padawan and a master to end up being the same age. But back to the question. A mentor could bethe same age, but for the best mentor possible, you would be better off sticking with an older person. They have been through the part of life that you are going through and know what the counsequences of certain choices and decisions can result in. They can guide you better. Also, they know what's on the other side. So, in conclusion, a mentor should be older than the mentee, in most cases. I always like ot leave room for those freak instances, and, as Connor will atest, I rely on them more heavily than I should. I practically live by the words "Where there's a will, there's a way".
