I’ve loved spending these last few years with my buddy. He’s an incredibly talented, funny, and loving person who has been a joy to spend time with. I look forward to seeing his bright smile and eager recap of the week every time we meet. We’ve explored sports like tennis, football, and basketball, but our favorite activity of all is folding and flying paper airplanes. Our friendship means a lot to me because it made me comfortable with being a role model. Knowing that someone looks up to me makes me want to be a better person and a better friend. It’s also been humbling to see the subtle changes in him over these years. Watching him make diligent work to become the person he wants to be is highly admirable. I’m extremely thankful for AFK because it gave me the opportunity to meet and become friends with such an amazing person. I’m excited to continue my mentorship and look forward to making more memories with my buddy.
Mentee
Abhi is an excellent mentor who has significantly impacted my life. He is flexible, fun, and always willing to play games with me. We often play outside, board games, and even tennis. Abhi is a great tennis player who taught me useful techniques like serving and hitting the ball back. He is also amusing and goes with the flow. Overall, he is a very kind person. We played various games, including computer games, and he even brought some of his own. He brought joy to my life, and we shared many stories about our experiences. Abhi is my best friend and I hope we will be friends forever.
