Excellent post.

I think it is important for the student to be persistent. Earlier in my Christian walk I asked several men, each several times, about establishing a mentoring relationship. I was brushed aside each time. No one had any time for that sort of thing. I must say that the constant rejection was depressing. It makes me sad thinking about it.

I sit here typing wishing I had been more persistent as I never had a mentor. Shame on me for giving up on it.
