If you're familiar with the "This I Believe" radio essays, you may relate to this post. I just wanted to -- had an urge to -- proclaim my deep belief in mentoring.
I met with a young woman through a W&M mentoring program today. Got me thinkin'.
I'm fortunate to have a variety of intelligent, ambitious, virtuous, complicated, older women in my life who have served as mentors. Many women for many parts of me. I've never had great success with male mentors. So happens that when I have been wisdom-seeking, I have found an older role female role model. In turn I have been lucky to mentor and be a mentor to some, too.
We are our parents and our children.
