MENTEE IMPACT: I’ve had a number of mentees over the years. Some I began mentoring when they were in middle school, others who have pursued various careers, and several who are practicing attorneys. The most memorable impact has been with those I met when they were in middle school who are now adults, many with their own families, and most who are actively engaged in mentoring themselves.
