Mentorship opportunities

Many people do not realise the beauty of mentorship and guidance and the simplicity of asking for help. As our world is rapidly changing, more and more millennials are realising the need to ask for help when they need it. And this spirit needs to be echoed throughout the world. Asking for help, guidance or mentorship is not a sign a weakness as many so willingly believe, but is a sign of growth and achievement. As our world is rapidly changing, more and more opportunities are being offered to people of all ages, especially to the younger generation. Schools and other educational institutes are making a conscious effort to provide more opportunities to their students. One such form of opportunity is mentorship, even though it many not be quoted in the same terms. However, while our parents and teachers provide mentorship and coaching to us everyday, the terms are not used formally and in context, and it is important to note that formalising the procedures of mentorship may allow us and our generation to value the guidance offered by our teachers and parents. I am extremely lucky in this regard, and have found that my mentors are people I can trust and who value me, and vice versa. Their advice and coaching is extremely valuable, and I feel that defining the relationship as a mentor-mentee one allows me to better appreciate them and their advice. A mentor can truly make all the difference.
