Who is your favorite mentor and what did you learn from him/her? My grandparents. They taught me how to set goals and to be proud of myself even when I accomplished something small.

If you could spend one hour with any person, who would it be and why? Marilyn Monroe. She had a great philosophy on being a woman in the limelight and would have stories and advice.
