This week I am talking about Mentoring.  Why its important for High school students, why its important to be one, and a little added bonus info at the end

So what is Mentoring?

Let's talk definition - A mentor is an experienced friend or confidant who is there to provide guidance and support in any number of ways and situations, including academically. Many of the world’s most successful business and world leaders credit mentors as key contributors to their success. 

My definition of mentor and how I have been one - Walking along side that person, Not doing it for them, not telling them how to do it, but to share experiences and things that i have been through to help them understand different avenues or ways they can get through something or get to something. 

Today I will discuss 4 of many reasons why mentoring is so important.

1. Hold Students Accountable
2. Be Consistent
3. Build Confidence
4. Help with Career Exploration

Even if you can only reach one student or young person, you’ve made a difference.  You never know, you can be that one light that student needed to make a difference.  And to me, that's worth it.
