"Please share your story."
I have a million things on my mind, lost in a sea of transition, and he wants my story.
But he is one of the people I respect most in the whole world and he is a major reason I have been a successful graduate student. I used to look at his online picture, read his materials, wonder what he was like. Now I am one of his top students.
I try to ignore his request at first. I went about my day, but it was always in the back of my mind. My story weaves itself constantly anyway, but his request added color and richness.
Then, at the right moment, I write my story. I read his and give my impressions. I attach both. My story is personal and I have a tiny moment of doubt. I click send.
He wrote back last night with his comments. His words give me the balance I need; that's why he's such a great mentor.
Writing is an awesome process.
