someone said, i want a mentor and i asked, "how would you know that somebody can be your mentor? kailangan ba tanungin mo siya kung pwede siya maging mentor mo o okay lang kahit hindi niya alam na mentor mo siya?"
what is a mentor anyway? according to my good friend Google, mentor is a wise/trusted counselor or teacher. and i've been told, basta yung pwede mong matanungan, pwede maging mentor. in a heartbeat, i know i already got a mentor but i didn't tag him as one just because. and i would borrow Oprah's words, my mentor was a mentor to me because he allowed me to see hope inside myself when i was just starting on my path.
then i asked again, "just when you already found your mentor, why do they have to leave?". the person i was conversing with answered, "because you already learned from them; kaya mo na mag-isa." with that, i was so silent. maybe true. maybe not.
two years ago, i met my mentor but duty calls, so two years after that, the person whom i looked up to needs to go to the other side of the world. but yes, i've learned a lot from my mentor and i'd still want to learn from him, though.
