Reflection on being Mentored

My mentor is my mother; as she has the most knowledge of how I work best.

I was rather sceptical as to how much of an influence she would have on my attitude towards my studies.

In hindsight, being mentored has not been an intrusive experience at all. Beginning University, I was unsure about a lot of things. I sat with my mentor, told her my concerns and my fears of not passing the modules. She listened and gave guidance.

In reflection, my mentor was a neutral bystander that showed an objective viewpoint, whether it’s proof-reading some work or shredding light on a personal dilemma.
