Let’s talk about the people who’ve helped you get here. It’s Time to Find a Mentor and Thank Them. A coach, youth leader, teacher, or family friend—someone helped shape who you are. Let them know. Then, ask if you can keep in touch while you’re away.
Mentorship doesn’t stop after high school—it just evolves.
Try it! Write a thank-you card or text. Ask if they’d be willing to check in with you once or twice during your first semester.
