Why I Mentor Statement

I mentor because I believe every incoming student needs a mentor, especially one of their peers who has been around the block. I aspire to be a mentor who can inspire and propel their students to achieve greater success. My background, especially growing up in a turbulent environment, taught me that no matter how hard things get, everything will turn out alright in the end. I hope to use that to support students as they navigate college because with every down there is an up.
