They are the one who you will look up to as a role model and admire them for their personality or their wisdom.

With this type of friend, you will see them hanging around with plenty of friends or acquaintances. You will always see people asking them for advice or tips. Because of their personality and their nature, a person's friendship with them may last a lifetime. Anyone would want to be friends with this person because not only they look up to them as a model, but they respect them for their qualities. For me, an eminent mentor is my college friend who academically guides me in every step. She is my mentor friend who consistently gives me advice and assists me when I take college courses or when I need help with something. This mentor friend is the most trustworthy type of friend because they always guide you in the unerring
