what is the best ways to find business mentors? esp those who are in a financial position that I aspire to be at
I am an absolute wreck when it comes to showing up in networking events. I often times do not know enough to be curious about the other person and how he/she is doing, and ask questions that will lead the attention back to my agenda of seeking someone established as a mentor.

What is the best way to form genuine meaningful connections in college with people who will help you advance your professional goals, provide academic and emotional support, and introduce you to new things?
As a 17-year-old senior in high school, making new friends this year has at times been challenging, as I feel like my peers have already found a group they belong to. However, throughout my high school experience I have branched out so much and met so many new people. Part of the reason I am majoring in communications next year is because I love meeting new friends and learning new things through connections with others. Although at times I can get overwhelmed, as beginning new friendships comes with its own set of anxieties. I find myself hoping I do not say the wrong thing and make a bad impression, or rushing to respond on social media in ample time, causing a flowering relationship to become a bit stressful. That said, I am looking for tips on how to reduce these little bursts of social anxiety as I prepare to make multiple new connections next year and continue to strengthen old ones.
