A mentor is someone who can guide and share their experience while helping another person and is also someone who wants to see the person they mentor (the mentee) become successful. A mentor can be found in colleges, a workplace, and yes, even in your personal life. It’s important to understand what a mentor does and how this relationship may make a difference in a mentee’s life. While having a mentor may not make the mentee instantly successful, listening to their guidance and what they have been through may help.

On one hand, some scholars argue that the Constitution is more about preserving rights than proclaiming rights, therefore the right to vote is a given (Epps, 2012). On the other hand, some scholars assert that the Constitution is missing an amendment that guarantees a Constitutional right to vote and without this amendment, our voting rights are threatened (Soros & Schmitt, 2013).
