Why is it so important...

...To have a mentor as a professional and a mentor for your students? We all have the ability to learn from others and share with others - the positive and learning experiences. Small investments made in lives of our youth can forever impact their lives - professionally and personally.

"If I hadn't had mentors, I wouldn't be here today. I'm a product of great mentoring, great coaching... Coaches or mentors are very important. They could be anyone--your husband, other family members, or your boss." 

- Indra Nooyi, the CEO of PepsiCo
