The best experience I have had as a mentor came about as the result of difficult circumstances. Because of some issues at Ivan’s school, Ivan was required to change schools at mid-year during his freshman year.
In light of the difficult circumstances, Ivan could have become bitter and given up. Instead, he showed maturity beyond his years, worked incredibly hard and made the change a positive one. He wound up with great grades the second half of the year following the move and has taken on a leadership role in his new surroundings.
It is inspiring to see somebody work that hard, turn turmoil into triumph and succeed when it would have been easy to give up.
