for those of you who are searching for a mentor please keep the following in mind.

1.)What is it in a mentor you'd like?
2.)Does the mentor follow the same path?
3.)Does the mentor keep your safety in mind, as well as your age?
4.)Does the mentor have enough experience under their belt to be teaching?
5.) Does the mentor's experience relate to your questions, or can they relate it in an answer to your questions?
6.) Does this person want my personal information? If the answer to this one is yes, please inform a mod immediately, and keep in mind that you should not give out personal information across the net.

Also, on the experience thing, a good number for years of experience would be about 5 years that are steady and consistant. That should be more than enough time for that person to learn enough to teach, how to teach, and have experience to base any questions asked off something they know, understand, and have tried personally.

Thank you for your time in reading this. Stay safe and have fun
