My Experience: My Mentor To Be A Friend

I consider my mentor to be a friend. We have been friends for about four years now. We have created a strong bond between ourselves. I met my mentor, Angie, during the tennis season of my tenth grade year. I was still new to the high school and an upcoming student, so Angie took it upon herself to show me the right path. I befriended everyone on the tennis team; I just became closer with Angela. We had some really amazing times together.

I remember her saying “If our dads can’t realize how awesome we are then maybe they shouldn’t be in our lives.” And nobody will ever know how much that little phrase made me happy. I was ecstatic to hear someone else say that. We also talked about boys, shopping, old friends and new friends, things happening at home, school, jobs, and just life in general. We sat there for hours just talking and it rained the entire time. We barely even had time to play, but it’s okay because we had another heart to heart moment.

I’ve taught Angie how to stand up for herself without going about it the wrong way. I taught Angie when not to give up and how to get through tough situations. And just like she once gave me advice. I have done so with her about her family. Angie and I have helped each other through many situations. That’s why I have passed down the knowledge she have given me. I have tried telling people all the time about how big of a struggle it is to try and get your GPA up. It isn’t easy trying to get into a good college. Having good grades can lead to many great
