"My mentee has become like a little sister to me. I feel very protective of her."

"You will learn as much from your mentee as you teach them."

"He wanted someone to talk to—and it felt good to be there—and give him some advice."

"It has completely surprised me. It has made me a more honest person—more enthusiastic—more open."

"Just being there for him—a consistent presence, I realized is what is important."
