Having been someone who has not really had a mentor before, I have loved having to prepare for each session. I feel like I learn just as much as the mentees from the challenges being set. It is also so inspiring to be able to hear the stories of each of the session anchors. - Shazeaa Ishmael
Being a mentor has helped me with my leadership and communication skills, as well as my confidence. I feel like the start definitely felt like a "fake it until you make it" situation, but over time I have felt like I actually belong and am succeeding in the role with the small things, such as having a mentee send me her awesome elevator pitch. - Ella Schotz
