The mentor became both a guide for facing new challenges and a lifelong friend. Mentorship has given me a complete perspective for the future and gradually encourages me to make the right choice for my higher education. My mentor has been a perfect match – cheerful, smiling, ambitious, ready to listen at any time, and most importantly, skilled in guiding my path to success.
