I have never had a mentor, but I have taken bits and pieces of admirable traits from friends, family members and teachers that I have known in my life. My best friend starting from when I was little showed me a good sense of loyalty and kindness. My mom instilled in me how to help others, coaches have showed me how to work hard and push myself, one of my professors really showed me that I did in fact have intelligence! my father instilled diplomacy and a sense of adventure, my grandmother gave me my love of animals, and my brothers gave me my fighting spirit! There have been many others, but these had the biggest impact on me.

In fact, I have learned a lot from people who I despise... more of what not to do and how not to behave in the work place!
