Qualtities in a Good Mentor

A good mentor is an important aspect of growing up and maturing. A good mentor will guide you in the right direction and can seem to help you with any obstacle that may arise in your path. I think it is nearly impossible to mature enough for the real world without a good mentor at your side. College is a great way of finding someone who you can turn to, and can help you along your journey through college.

For me, I think there are a few areas of growth that need a little assistance; making a good resume for instance, and having good experience in the field I am wanting to pursue. There are many people I could turn to to help me fill these areas up, such as my advisor or on of my journalism professors. These people have become masters in the field I wish to pursue.

There are many qualities that are need in a good mentor. A good mentor should be someone you can turn to with questions or concerns you have regarding the path you are on, and they should also be able to help you achieve your goals or can at least point you in the right direction down the road. A good mentor would be able to write a great recommendation letter for you, because they are the one who see us progress over the years and will be there to see us achieve our goals. They can see how hard we have worked, so in the future they will be the most reliable references for you.

There is still time to find that person who fits your description of a good mentor, so don't give up hope quite yet. You may already know the person who turns out to be your mentor. It is important to have a history with them, so be looking now for that person you can look up to can go to with questions and concerns with your future plans.
