WHAT I LEARNED.4) Mentorship is not easy but it is

worth it!

-It is like training a puppy!

3) Mentorship is a little like parenting.

–Guiding them & telling them what they do not want to hear!

2) Mentorship is growth. (for both the mentee and the mentor)

-They both learn something from the experience.

1) A mentor does not need to know all the answers.

WHAT THIS MEANS TO ME.

WHAT I CAN DO WITH IT.

• I will be a mentor who has faults, but I will be a mentor who also cares.

• I will be there for my mentee in the good times, but especially in the bad times.

• I will be a celebrate my mentee’s successes ,but I will also help my mentee learn from his or her failures.

• I will remember that I don’t know all the answers, and that is okay!

• I will grow WITH my mentee!
