Testimonials

When I received my scholarship I was paired with my Mentor and it was great to have someone to relate and talk to. We are friends and continue to maintain a relationship. The following year I became a Mentor and was able to pass on expertise and be there to offer my support for a new DHF scholarship recipient.

My experience as a Mentor has been great. I have also seen the program grow as well as the impact it has had for Mentees. I want to continue to encourage new high school grads to pursue what they are passionate about and be there to offer them support and advice along the way.

I became a Mentor to help provide someone else with the opportunities that I had experienced. As a way of thanking DHF for both the scholarship and the support I received, I will continue to pay it forward by participating in this fantastic program and helping out a new recipient.

I became a Mentor as a way to pay forward the amazing opportunity I was provided with. Not only did I receive a scholarship, but I had an amazing Mentor to help me with my transition. I wanted to give the same experience I had to another scholarship recipient.

I enjoy coaching and helping others and as a Mentor, it is a great feeling to assist others to succeed in their journey through University. I see life as a dynamic give-and-take situation. Through experiences, I believe that the more we can share and learn from one another, the more each of us will benefit.

It’s been great to be able to give Mentees my perspective as someone who has been through a lot of what they are going through. I want to continue mentoring, and help someone else with their aspirations.

I have thoroughly enjoyed mentoring with DHF. The experience of being able to connect with other youth living with diabetes has been quite rewarding. I have benefited greatly from receiving my scholarship and I look forward to continuing to give back to the Foundation.
