My parents will always be my favorite mentors. They each taught me the importance of a good work ethic, the necessity of attention to detail, and to strive for my goals instead of just wishing for them. If you could spend one hour with any person, who would it be and why? I would want to spend one hour with Thomas Jefferson. I would like to know what it was like effectively being the author and one of the first presidents to a new nation, what his views are on the nation as a whole today, and what we can do to improve it.
