When Joy is given a school project, she’s not sure what to do. She has to make a presentation on her mentor, but she doesn’t know if she has one. Join Joy on her journey home and as she finds the mentors sprinkled throughout her life!
The story highlights the idea that mentors can be from diverse backgrounds, have different lived experiences and still add value to our lives.
