Personal Narrative: My Mentor

Life can be a treacherous journey that even the toughest people have trouble making it through. No one, not even the greatest superheros can get through it alone. We all need some sort of mentor. Someone like Mr. Miyagi was to Karate Kid and Athena was to Odysseus. I am no different, a mentor’s job is to lead and guide you through whatever life throws your way. My mentor has done that and much more. Normally it seems most mentors either come from different ethnicities or cultural backgrounds but, not in this case. Me and my mentor share a ton of the same characteristics and traits. Although he is older and much more wiser, we are still close enough in age to experience and enjoy some of the same cultural activities. One of them being checking
To date my mentor is pursuing a business career. Something I am interested in doing as well. It has been easy for us to connect over the years because we are extremely like minded, and have the same common goal of wanting success. He would tell me all the time that, “life is unique and most people miss their one opportunity really live.” It took me awhile to understand the meaning of this but as I got older I took this as him telling me to take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself. I feel this has been the key to all my success. As for me life is becoming less stressful at a time where it is most demanding. Knowing what my mentor has taught me put me in this position. It was become easy for me to make it past difficult situations. Another piece of information he has shared is, “As human we all must live and learn, but when we have the chance to learn from others mistake, we must take advantage of it.” This has help me avoid a ton of my own mistakes. I tell my little brother this same thing time after time. “Learn from me. Watch my mistakes so you won’t have to make the same ones.” Already at a young age he has a great understanding of his situation and what kind of obstacles he will have to overcome. This is one benefit you get from having a mentor. I have no doubt that my little brother will be
Through my ups and shallow down he has been there, no matter what ! My love for my mentor will be as strong as a steel beam until the day we diminish, with no bend or break in our relationship. When nothing seems to be going right I always think back to what he has taught me. To stay strong, positive, and humble in every situation. Looking up to someone doesnt make you a follower. It makes you wiser, especially when there situation can relate to yours. Every human being can benefit from having a mentor being able to get an insight on life and letting you know what it truly means to live. I recommend everyone have some sort of mentor.
