My mentor is my dad. I chose my dad as my mentor because he is the one who told me about the camp. He helped me get ready and encouraged me to do my best and get out there and meet new people. It was actually through my dad that I met some of my first friends, some of his coworkers' kids, because we were able to travel together for a while.
Ever since I was little, he has pushed me to do my best at everything I do. He has taught me to stand up for my beliefs and never back down from what I believe in. This has influenced so much about me as a student and as a person. Because of him I never give up on anything and have always demanded perfection. This mindset has helped me so much in school because I push through things even when I'm tired or bored. My dad has also taught me so much about being a good person. He taught me to be kind to others and treat everyone with respect, no matter what. |
