MENTOR

What is not a mother, or a father figure, but instills morals, and values? What is not a boss, but makes you want to work hard? Who does not tell you what to do, but if you trust this person, you will heavely think about what they say? No matter what!
The answer is simple: a mentor.

A mentor is welcomed in someone's life, because they provide a compassionate ear. A mentor acts as a second opinion that is objective, and honest. This is important when you're in a situation, that for the life of you can't figure out. Most situations are complicated by the person, a mentor can help straighten things out to find a solution.
One of the most important things about mentorship, is that a mentor is always welcomed. It's aggravating when someone tells you what you should do, without you asking them for advice. No one likes it when people, who think they know the issue, butts in without permission. Life is filled with a lot of people, who you have to answer to. It starts with your parents, then your teachers, a boss, and sometimes a spouse. Besides that you have to follow the law, rules, traffic, ettiqute, and the list goes on. NO ONE wants another person to add more RULES. No matter how helpful the advice may be, let a person decide if they want it. When it comes to mentorship Know-it-Alls need not apply.

A mentor is a human diary, who never comes with judgment. You can sit and cry your heart out, and not worry about what you said being repeated. A mentor respects your privacy along with your opinion.
A good mentor will never tell you what to do; instead they'll give suggestions. The advice that they give you is not a command, it's something for you to consider. They make these suggestions because they care about your welfare. They make these suggestions to challenge you, so you can reflect and grow as a person. A good mentor is an asset, richer than platinum gold.
