A mentor is someone you look up to and who guides you personally and professionally. A mentor shares information about their career path. They are a positive role model, and they provide motivation, guidance, and emotional or spiritual support. Use a real person, such as a guidance counselor or professor, who has guided you, and give an example of how their mentorship helped you succeed in your role as a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist.

"My mentor is my high school psychology teacher, Mr. Adkinson. I was fascinated by psychology, and he encouraged me to pursue a career in therapy. He spent time with me researching different occupations and felt that recreation therapy would be the best fit for me. Mr. Adkinson then found a Therapeutic Recreation Specialist who agreed to let me shadow her to see what the job entails. I spent two years volunteering with the Therapeutic Recreation Specialist and decided this was the career path I wanted to pursue. Mr. Adkinson then helped me find the best college to attend to receive my bachelor's degree and helped me with the admissions paperwork. He has supported me the entire time and has been a wonderful mentor."
