National Mentoring Month

"A lot of people have gone farther than they thought they could because someone else thought they could."

January is National Mentoring Month. It is important to recognize that we have all made it to where we are in our lives because someone else believed in us. Maybe it was a coach, a teacher, a parent, a friend. This January is a great time to recognize that person or persons and to thank them.

January is also a great time to think about others who may not have that mentor in their lives; that someone who opened your eyes, who made you believe, who pushed you that extra mile. Maybe you can make a difference for them.
