I take my mentoring responsibilities very seriously.

It's wonderful to work with someone with mentor status.

Mentoring is a brain to pick, an ear to listen, and a push in the right direction.

What you want in a mentor is someone who truly cares for you and who will look after your interests and not just their own. When you do come across the right person to mentor you, start by showing them that the time they spend with you is worthwhile.

Before finding a mentor, I feel it's essential to really find your own calling and passion. From my experience, this will become a guiding bond in this kind of relationship. Be curious and engaged - and push yourself actively. Be as good as you can at what you love to do, and you will certainly get a mentor's attention.

There's natural mentoring that goes on in my life every day.

I take mentoring very seriously and as a result I hardly get any work done during the school year.

I don't have a mentor in the strict definition. I take as much advice and inspiration as I can from the people I am close to.

I look up to people that are much older than me, so being a mentor is a full time job.
