"I just finished my mentor call. It really made me feel like I wanted to work on that job right away. He really enjoys working with new people because he always found nice people to help him out and get to where he is today. Before this call I really did not want to go to a 4-year university but now I think I have changed my mind. I actually would have never done it myself because I just didn't know how."
"I DID IT! My mentor call went really well and I was able to ask all the questions I wanted to! One piece of advice was to just keep going no matter the struggles. It gave me motivation to get better at my work."
"Wow, my mentor actually said he was excited to meet me because of the email I wrote to him! He told me about his experience being an undercover narcotics special agent, which really caught my eye, then he told me about a military academy in Las Vegas that I could look into!"
"I'm so glad I got to meet my mentor. I got to ask all my questions and more, and she was a really great person to talk to and made me feel super comfortable. She gave me advice and encouraged me to cold email professors and other professionals in the field I'm interested in. I didn't realize that some professors could be so accessible through just cold emailing!"
