    “Mentorship is so important no matter where you are in life, but especially for young and impressionable people. I got to see my students reflect on their own values in such a wonderful way and even begin to adopt better practices and grow their aspirations.

    Everyone needs others to bounce ideas and perspectives off of to help themselves learn and become better people; Leon provides such a wonderful opportunity to do so and I couldn’t recommended it more! “
