that's honestly so cool to hear, may I ask what do you mentor students on? I know it might be too personal but curiosity gets the best of me pretty easily
I worked in SE Asia for a few years working on food safety and food security projects. I started helping some of the students that I encountered during my work and it kind of kept up after retirement. Then picked up some students from other countries. I really work on soft skills, English communication, some critical thinking (which is not emphasized in Asia as a whole), helping through under graduate school with how to study, multi-task etc. Its been fun working with the young adults and keeps me sharp. Hope that gives you and idea.
thank you for the detailed response, it definitely gave me a good idea. Sounds like you found a passion in helping others, a most noble cause :). I love hearing of older (no offense) people helping us younger folk, I feel like experience makes the best teachers and elders aren't respected as much as they should be - in most cases. Anyway, rambled a bit, thank you for satisfying my curiosity!
