- The interaction with my mentor and the memorable activities that we had throughout these past two years were rewarding, as well as captivating. The program was more than exploring the city and getting to know the various cultures; it was about discovering my own interest and skills. My mentor helped me draft my goals, gave me advice on applying to colleges, and shared her own personal feelings as a college sophomore. I really appreciate what the program has brought me. Jessica Zhang, Former Mentee, Cornell Freshman
- Once my mentee and I just hung out an entire Wednesday afternoon doing SAT prep and just talking about stuff going on. I think it was a helpful time for him with the SAT, school talk, as well as just a relaxing time for both of us. I didn't feel like I was a tutor; we were friends hanging out. Being a mentor really was more than just a teacher-student relationship. I feel like I really became friends with my mentee. Keith Redwine, CC, 2010
