00:00.449 --> 00:03.210
Mentorship signifies to me um helping

00:03.210 --> 00:04.929
others be the best version of

00:04.929 --> 00:06.985
themselves , guiding them , offering

00:06.985 --> 00:10.210
support and uh challenging them to

00:10.210 --> 00:13.449
reach their full potential . So I've

00:13.449 --> 00:16.409
seen mentorship impact someone uh both

00:16.409 --> 00:18.520
ways as in I've seen like the benefit

00:18.520 --> 00:20.187
of it and then I've also seen

00:20.187 --> 00:22.010
consequences of the absence of

00:22.010 --> 00:24.610
mentorship . I've seen a colleague of

00:24.610 --> 00:26.639
mine mentorship an airman on

00:26.639 --> 00:28.750
professional development and later on

00:28.750 --> 00:31.040
that airman was able to become a BTZ

00:31.040 --> 00:33.349
winner and making staff the first time .

00:33.959 --> 00:36.126
One thing that mentorship signifies to

00:36.126 --> 00:40.080
me is uh it's an opportunity to uh help

00:40.080 --> 00:43.360
others grow professionally , personally .

00:44.180 --> 00:46.236
And um help them reach their goals .

00:47.110 --> 00:49.110
Typically people think it has to be

00:49.110 --> 00:51.166
somebody in your training command or

00:51.166 --> 00:53.332
someone that you work for . People can

00:53.332 --> 00:55.610
find mentorship in a variety of places .

00:55.610 --> 00:57.888
It could be your friends , your family ,

00:57.888 --> 01:00.430
a neighbor it could even be a peer . So

01:00.430 --> 01:02.520
mentorship is important to the Air

01:02.520 --> 01:04.949
Force because it helps grow leaders of

01:04.949 --> 01:07.269
the future , people of character , and

01:07.269 --> 01:09.389
if it's done correctly , it will

01:09.389 --> 01:11.739
continue to breathe life into itself

01:11.739 --> 01:14.150
and it's a continuous cycle of

01:14.150 --> 01:16.317
mentorship bringing other people up so

01:16.317 --> 01:18.190
they can also pull people up as well .
