What if something life-altering occurs in my life such as a job transfer, pregnancy, health issue, marriage, etc. that interferes with my ability to continue mentoring my student?
Many mentored children and youth have abandonment issues. Every effort must be made to continue the mentoring for the length of the agreement. It is life changing for youths to know that they are important enough for the “caring” adults in their lives to continue to care for and about them even when it is not convenient to do so.
