Cherita on mentorship<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n\n <\/path>\n<\/svg>

I would like to be a mentor because I did not get to where I am alone. There were great mentors who have helped, encouraged and pushed me along the way and I would be honored to do the same for someone else.\n <\/path>\n<\/svg><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Some topics I\u2019m excited to mentor students in include:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Emotional intelligence<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Coding and software development<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Business and community leadership<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
