Mentor: Aviva Mendolowitz
She is one of the most important people in my life. The second I met her I saw how special she really was and how I'm the luckiest girl alive to have such a special person come into my life and that really cares. She has a heart of gold. A mentor is someone that you can look up to whenever you need her like even at two in the morning, and can take you out to relax, and talk everything out you know whatever's on your .mind. My mentor told me whenever I'm in trouble she is there and never give up no matter in any situation. And in four in the morning if I needed a place to stay then she told me always call no matter what time and you can always stay by me.
She is one of the only people in my life 1 look up to, because she is a really good person and a good influence on everyone and most important a good role model. I have also never seen her upset or mad she is such a happy person and makes the world so bright if you're upset or mad you always know who to call. She always makes me so happy and special even when I don't feel like it or I've done something realty wrong or a big mistake that I can never take back she will never call me a failure she always tells me how speckl I am and how sweet I anx She never judges me no matter what or ever yells or screams so I can always- know that I can talk to her. She makes me see the difference between good and bad and if I did something wrong she would explain why it was wrong and what you can do if you were in that situation again and how you. can handle it without hurting anyone.
She teaches me how the torah life is the best life possible and she gave me reasons to believe it she shows me the light of torah and what it should mean to. me. If I ever have questions about g-d or anything that has to do with religion she is very quick to answer them on my level of yiddishkeit Her whole life depends on everybody else's if someone's not happy she feels their pain. She teaches me how everyone should be happy with what you have and ho wife is beautiful and everyone should grow and there's always more to learn everyday and NEVER GIVE UP.
She lives in Far Rockaway with her husband [Yitz Mendlowitz] [who is a very special as well) and her adorable daughter Talia Medlowitz [who is one of the cutest babies I have ever seen]. I am very happy that the mentor program started because otherwise I wouldn't get to have a chance to meet the most intelligent, warm, caring, and special person that I have met two years ago. So thank you for donating money into a program and started this program that has changed my life.
