The
First Mentor
The
term mentor comes originated in classical Greek
mythology - The Odyssey by homer.
Mentor, a wise teacher and friend, was asked by Odysseus to
watch over his one and only son, Telemachus, while he was
off to fight the Trojan Was. Mentor was to coach
Telemachus on how to be "king" while Odysseus was
gone - as a surrogate parent. Mentor, wise and sensitive,
gave his support, protection, guidance and love to this
young child left in his care.
We have come to know mentors as
those who can guide and nurture personal growth of
others. They do so by creating a safe context for
growth, while sharing their wisdom and experience, and their
love of learning. They are helpers who take pleasure
in the success of the people they serve.
