EDUCATION KNOWLEDGE

Let’s talk mentors—What are they, and why are they important?

Mentors come from all kinds of backgrounds and life experiences—which is what makes them so valuable. They can offer real-world advice and support. They’re not just there to help you through college stuff like classes or time management—they can also be someone to talk to about life decisions, career goals, connect you to opportunities, or just figuring life out. Mentors can also support you with writing recommendation letters for your scholarships and job opportunities! 💰
