Mentoring


Mentoring is only the willingness to help others succeed. For many months I've contemplated the meaning of mentoring in my life... And it comes down to this: A willingness to share, a desire to ask the questions that will lead those you mentor in the right direction.

There is a need for those who are willing to stand up and mentor. Do you see the need around you? I see it in the workplace, in the neighborhoods, in the family and perhaps mostly in government.

Assignment:
Seek out and help mentor someone. They may not even be asking for the help they need. But, if you see the need, step up and offer the friendly advice only you can offer to help make those around you better!

Mentoring is definitely a need in this world, and can come from many different avenues. This can include both what we would consider positive and what we would consider negative. I have attempted to mentor individuals in a positive manner especially in my position as an aide at an elementary school. A lot of the time the mentors in the kids lives were from gangs or broken homes, and it was reflected in the the children.
