Period 3 With whom have you developed a mentoring relationship? how has this proved to be important to you? you may comment on a situation where you have been either the mentor or the person being mentored. In fact I went to Yahoo Answers and asked the online community for help....now that we have that out of the way, let me begin by telling you my life's journey and where I am now and why. There was many different pathways I could've gone and each relationship I developed could have lead me in the wrong pathway, but I was in luck because I developed a mentoring relationship early on with my Aunt Linda. The person I have become is all because of her unlike me my triplet sisters Jessica and Katie both didn't have anyone mentoring them. Jessica ended up pregnant at 16, Katie ended up into drugs and they both dropped out of highschool that could've easily been me I could've gone that route too. Life was a journey I didn't have a mom or dad there for me, but at least I always had my
Aunt Linda just a dial away. She looked out for me even from far away, always made sure I was going in the right direction, encouraged me and was a motherly figure to me. Growing up I never really knew what normal was. I moved once to twice a year and I was the "it child" with my mom mentally/ physically abused while living with my mom. My mom kicked me out of the family at age 13. Damaged and confused I went to live with my disabled dad who I saw about
once a week while living with him because he was never home. The mentoring relationship grew stronger with my Aunt Linda having unlimited freedom at age 13 I knew I needed some rules/ guidance and my Aunt Linda was there. For example my Aunt Linda always called me to make sure I did my homework and that I was going to school. She guided me and helped me understand that it wasn't my fault the way my mom treated me. From early on to now thousands and thousands of minutes talking on the phone
