You're not quite a parent, but you're also not quite like a peer. You get to know kids, listen to them, push them, help them grow and see their capabilities, help them brush themselves off when they fail, and cheer for their successes. You also hold them accountable and help them reflect on how they can be their best selves, and you have fun with them!]]> 2021-08-05 20:49:48 UTC https://padlet.com/cwatts19/WhatIsAMentor/wish/1670377126 A mentor is... msu12 https://padlet.com/cwatts19/WhatIsAMentor/wish/1670377134 an adult on campus who students can form long-term relationships with; someone who is invested in their mentees' success after high school]]> 2021-08-05 20:49:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cwatts19/WhatIsAMentor/wish/1670377134 mmahoney43 https://padlet.com/cwatts19/WhatIsAMentor/wish/1670377218 1) A place for students to feel connected to their fellow students and at least one teacher.

There is a level of trust and honesty that may not be there with others. It can be hard to get to a place where both mentor and mentee feel comfortable with each other but that is okay.
