My Dear Mentor

The first time I saw her, I knew that I was in good hands. She seemed to light up the whole room with her infectious smile. She held my hand and welcomed me with a gesture enough for me to feel the warmth of a newly found friend.

She’s one of the blessings bestowed upon me in my new home. A dear mentor who in a brief period of time made me realized a lot of things.

What’s amazing perhaps is that everyday that I spend with her is an encouragement to take things lightly. She brushes worries away with her laughter. She sees the positive side of every bad event and the most admirable perhaps is that she can illuminate positivism by just flashing her ever ready smile.

I once lost hope when affliction has befallen to me. Now, I was given a mentor and a friend to inspire me. The greatest thing about her is that she’s an icon of a real fighter- a cancer survivor who showed me that happiness is just a matter of perspective.

She is my dear mentor…a God- given friend to inspire me amidst the room full of strangers.
