A mentor, sometimes its a parent or a teacher or someone in your life that you look up too…. most of us could name the people who mentored us along the way. Some of us are mentors and don’t even know that we have been role models for others.
But what happens to those children who don’t have a positive role model in their life? According to Mentoring.Org there are over 15 million children still in need of caring adult in their lives. There are mentoring opportunities everywhere, it is a way that you can give one on one and make a significant difference in a child’s life with the gift of an hour per week.
There are so many mentoring stories but I found one on Steve Harvey, I thought worth sharing.

So if you are looking for a way to make a difference, become a mentor. You can lift someone up at work, at school or through an organization (like Mentoring.Org) in need of someone special like you. The greatest gift you give is yourself. Share that gift with someone today. The world becomes a better place because of you.
