Even for cultures where it's common to have more than one generation living together in a household, that can serve as sort of a mentorship.<br /><br />Yesterday was so sad, seeing the news unfold.Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9109108810265133117.post-81938391673056642082013-04-16T06:26:14.646-06:002013-04-16T06:26:14.646-06:00I've a short list of mentors.

My mother in law (yeah...believe it or not) was abeautiful woman and taught me hwo to be a wife and mother and christian woman, a few teachers from my past, and certain writers I allow in my world. Mentors need be considered and chosen carefully. We must look within ourselves and ask what exactly we are receiving from our mentors. Looking at it from the outside in requires patience and trust and openess. My prayers are with those families and friends of such a terrible event.

An English Literature teacher I had was particularly memorable and I do believe he had an influence over me. But it was my psychology teacher who was perhaps my strongest mentor at that time. She was such a wonderful woman. It was tragic and such a shock when she died suddenly half way through my studies.<br /><a href="http://suzyturner.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Suzy Turner, YA Author</a><br /><br /><br />Suzy, The Grey Brunettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17073447337090145191noreply@blogger.com
