Erik,
You have been a mentor for a while now. Whenever you give guidance to a someone else you are mentoring. We let you mentor on electrical for years. Every time you showed someone how to insert a PWM, strip a wire, crimp or solder you were mentoring. You were making us proud at the same time. Our mentoring roles had rubbed off on you. Now you are mentoring without us looking over your shoulder. You and John are making us proud every time we see you working with students and making a difference. You and the strategy crew impressed me very much last season and you are doing a great job this year. Remember that when we win awards, you are still part of the team. When one of our students wins an award, you were part of the process. We are proud of you dude. You are doing what we hope for all the students. Going to school, helping others, making commitments and standing up in the community. You may not notice but we are smiling.
