Oprah Winfrey inspired this topic. She has a famous quote saying, "A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself." Mentor seems like such a formal title, but there have probably been countless experiences that you have turned to someone you admire for advice or help. Whether the individual you seek out is a boss, church leader, friend, family member, professor, athletic coach, or other, the importance of mentors is undeniable. These individuals can help you see the hope inside yourself and help you go out there and get your goals.
