Mentor Blog #3

This entire mentor experience was unforgettable to me. I have heard from other people that they did not enjoy spending time with their mentor and their group and even that their mentor met with them rarely. This was not the case for my mentor group experience. My mentor was extremely conversational, friendly, polite and funny. He was always concerned with our college life and any problems or concerns we had. He became more than just a business executive that gave us advice, he became our friend. When we went out with him I felt comfortable talking to him as if he were another member of the group of students. He always took us out for nice meals along with pleasant entertaining conversations. The meeting I most enjoyed was when he invited us to his house so we could meet his wife and lovely kids. I felt at home when we were there, and fell in love with his entire family.
As the mentor program progressed I noticed an enormous change within the people in my group. Everyone was more comfortable talking to one another and we became closer and even stablished firendships. I would recommend my mentor to anyone. And I will most definitley be stayuing in touch with him in the future.
