Mentoring

This week we had the first week of classes for both Paul and Maragaret! In Paul's class we will be focusing on Mentoring and Leadership. With all of the reading I have been doing, I am really enjoying learning about the other side of Mentoring. Up until this point, I had just called people my mentor, and not really analyzed what the meaning of mentoring and exactly how it has impacted my life.

I am really looking forward to our first assignment--writing a letter to our mentor! This past week my Mentor has really been there for me, through the death of a family member to problems at work. Not only has she been there for me though, I have been there for her. Power Mentoring is something that we have discussed and read about and contains many aspects. The aspect that I am focusing on is reciprocity. Without my mentor, I would not have survived this week. She has given me the opportunity to have a different outlook on situations and help reassure me that I am successful in what I have done.
