"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 

A big part of mentoring is seeing the strengths in someone, even when they don’t see them yet, and helping them grow. I’ve seen how powerful it can be when someone believes in you, especially in a creative field where self-doubt is common. Being a mentor isn’t just about giving advice or tips, it’s about encouraging a new teacher to find their confidence and recognize their own abilities. Just like I do with my students, I want to support a new teacher as they find their own path and voice in the classroom.
