Hi Dayana,
Good that your thinking about mentorship, as I believe it can be a great help to individuals and often overlooked as a way to become the best person you can be in life. I had a great mentor when I was a young professional and remember to this day, at age 65. I was a Management Analyst and he was an Executive and we meet regularly to discuss career and personal development. Really opened my eyes and I think helped me chart my own course if action(s) as he provided suggestions and options and didn't push me to a specific path.
Now, late in life, I realized I could have had many such mentors for different reasons throughout my journey which I think would have helped navigate the often rough and challenging times life presents
So, I encourage you to start and find a mentor for the challenge you are facing now, whatever it is . In my case, he worked at the same company but if your in school, maybe find an alumni. If your in a club organization, maybe an elder or senior member or officer. I think you get the idea. Start with people you know about recommendations s they will gladly help you and maybe even give you a referral or contact to talk to.
Best wishes,
Tony
