two brothers playing legos

The Call: The Lego Lesson — Jessica

What better mentor is there than an older brother?


Response: Drawing Baby Animals — Cheryl

Being guided by a mentor is a very effective way of becoming educated. Thomas Jefferson’s mentor was George Wythe, Michael Phelps is mentored by Coach Bob Bowman, and my son Luke has learned more in two months of working one-on-one with a golf instructor than he has in years of just playing golf. A mentor, however, doesn’t have to be a person in the room. An author can mentor through his books; the same goes for a luthier presenting videotaped lessons on YouTube; and a mom learning on her own can be a mentor to her kids, simply by setting the example.
