Christmas Gift Ideas Every Teacher will be Happy to Receive
In The Odyssey, Homer depicts an old man named Mentor as the helper and guide of the young prince Telemachus while his father Odysseus is away.
Since then, “mentor” has come to be an honorable title-the mentors in our life are those who not only guide us to greatness but, just as importantly, guide us away from those follies of youth which can undo us later in life.
As such, teachers have long been some of the most important mentors in society.
