Abandoned but Not Alone

The Point Foundation program puts a huge emphasis on the student having a mentor. Having a mentor can be extremely beneficial to you because there is someone there to guide you and help you through out the way. When I was in high school was the time in my life when i needed a mentor the most. Luckily for me I have two older sisters. They were able to tell me what to expect in high school such as the work load and the fact that you will loose and gain friends along the way. They were able to help me prepare for college and always push me to try my best so I didn't have to struggle when college rolled around. Having a mentor in college could be very beneficial to you swell. They can help you manage your time and transition from high school. They can also just be there to talk when you are homesick. In my opinion having a mentor for anything that is new to you is a very good idea.
