Why I Mentor Statement

I mentor because I believe every student should feel seen, known, and valued. Rob, my success coach, has been a constant source of encouragement, reminding me that I am capable of hard things. Rob has made me feel truly seen, not only in my struggles but also in my achievements, as I have learned to navigate college. I hope to be the same light for others. I want to encourage my mentees and show them that they, too, can overcome challenges and accomplish whatever they set their minds to. I want every student to feel supported and empowered.
