This has been one of my best experiences within the university field. Something that will undoubtedly be very helpful to me and I will be able to take advantage of this and thus invite others to also make the decision to start taking this small course. to find a mentor to help you guys with any questions related to college and friendship as well.

My name is Christina, this was my first experience with mentorship. Let me start by saying this has been fun. It's great having someone to talk to and give you ideas on how to deal with the stress. My mentor has been amazing, mentoring me at a pace that is comfortable and convenient. He has helped me get through mental breakdowns, which almost deterred me from completing my classes. but with my mentor just a text away I felt confident that I could pull through and I did. I highly recommend this program to everyone, having a mentor is like having your very own hype man in your corner.
