Mentors? We all need them. They are people who are respected for their expertise and ability to teach others the skills they possess.

They adopt the educator role of a gentle taskmaster, a library of knowledge, and a persistent motivator. They are someone on the outside, looking in. We should never take this mentoring gift for granted! Good Luck !! Blair . . .
