As LTI is in the middle of its selection process for mentors of the Spring LTI session, I have started thinking about how valuable mentors are in our lives. After analyzing the lives of many successful people (including many movie stars, politicians, businessmen, writers, and doctors) I have realized that in one way or anther, each of these individuals has had somebody in their lives there to help them out. Essentially, all of these people have had a mentor.
The dictionary defines a mentor as somebody who is very experienced and helps train other people. Based on this definition, I believe that is exactly what the mentors of LTI are doing. Basically, every week our mentors provide guidance to their students. While it is true that our mentors aren't necessarily teaching our students how to become lawyers, doctors, or politicians, they are providing them with the support and the skills that they need to become successful. As a result, I feel that the mentors of LTI provide an invaluable service to their students. By teaching these students confidence, communication skills, and different aspects of leadership, our mentors have supplied these kids with the tools that they will need to go out into the world and achieve their dreams.
Your Public Relations Chair,
