Yes preachy, but good advice. My own experience was to work my butt off with 18-hour class loads and 40-hour work weeks years 1-3, which meant my 6 hour last semester was a breeze (1 was a cleanup humanity) and I could easily mentor a team.

It makes sense that college mentors aren't great mentors in the teacher sense; however that totally ignores the ability for college mentors to show high school students new ways to learn things or even how mistakes are made by example. Generally speaking, college mentors are the closest-relatable mentors high school kids will have, so having someone to bridge the gap of the ages (a.k.a. knowledge paradox) may be useful.
