The Role of Mentors in Your Life - Mentors have shaped my entire life. I believe that our paths intentionally cross with individuals at the most crucial times in our lives. My mentors have been men and women, young and old. Mentors have pushed me to be more than I thought I could be. Mentors have believed in me when I didn't believe in myself. Mentors have helped me figure out my professional values. Mentors have inspired me to learn more.
