That article helped me see how many mentors I have had over the past few years, who are still helping me today, with their words, example, and sentiments.
From my sixth grade teacher, to the people who helped me learn how to be a teacher, to the people encouraging me now, it really means a great deal.
Definitely, getting on the phone to someone tomorrow. Thanks for the message!
