Mentors can do wonders and change a kid's life. Hats off to Geoffrey Lee. Bilel Jideh's persistence and diligence paid off. He is indeed a good role model for students.
My dad often told us about a distant uncle who was a mentor who served as a compass and beacon for a more meaningful career and way of living. Wished I had a mentor to seek guidance from when I was younger. It will avoid having to learn from mistakes and save a lot of time for more fruitful pursuits.
