Do any stand out to you? "You have to believe it’s possible and believe in yourself. Because after you’ve decided what you want, you have to believe it’s possible, and possible for you, not just for other people. Then you need to seek out models, mentors, and coaches.” – Jack Canfield “One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.” - Carl Jung “The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.” – Steven Spielberg
Do any remind you of your mentor? “A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself.” — Oprah Winfrey
Do you see yourself in one of these quotes? "A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you." — Bob Proctor “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou
Spend a few minutes reviewing and reflect how you may connect with several. I connect with: As a mentor, you have to be willing to put yourself in your mentee’s shoes to understand their struggles that they deal with.― Toby Keith, American musician “One person might be senior and be wiser and have more experience, but I’ve learned a lot from the people I mentor.”― Michelle Obama, lawyer, writer, and former First Lady
Would you post any of these in your classroom, at the bottom of an email, etc?? Yes, I connect with Michelle Obama because there is not age limit to learning.
