As a first-generation student, mentorship was a great help to me in navigating new systems I was exposed to. This program allows me to grow as a mentor which is a large aspect of educational counseling. It also prepares me to be a leader in the program, school site and community. The best thing this program provided me was the ability to build a community of like-minded individuals who are all striving to be better versions of themselves with a common goal to help others.
