Flash Mentoring & Mentor Circles Guides
I met a mentor who has been nothing but supportive of my journey and accepted me for who I am. I am able to be the first in my family to graduate a higher institution and I would not be able to do it without this program. Throughout the mentoring program, I have learned so much about myself and my strengths. My mentor guided me and continues to do so, through life in all aspects and I could not be more thankful for that.
