Your eventual choice and how you go about handling your difficult situation will set an example for the students, no less than your engineering mentoring.

Much of our mentoring results from our actions that the students pick up on. Whether it's our enthusiasm for engineering and design, our dedication to a cause, or where we place our priorities in life. It all sets an example to the students who look up to us as they are establishing their own footing in life.

Difficult choices face us all along, and having our priorities in place give us and those around us a solid foundation on which to base our decisions.
