When I got home the house was empty. I called my family at the cottage and warned them against traveling through Detroit that evening. I called my older sister at college and told her about the riots. I learned to trust my instincts and judgement that day. I don't have a mentor in the traditional sense.
Mentor implies guidance with someone more experienced and possibly older.
Each year there is always a group of 12-15 students that are creative, smart and willing to take risks. Some of the students Muses in the past include Doug Blush, Alexis Vennard, Brad Stanley, Peggy Pasternak, Angela Zimmerman, Kyle Houchens, Sue van de Ryt, Jason Krause, Barbara Schweitzer, Dan Eller and Tommy Chen. Helene, Moritz, Thomas, Anja and Guido. I don't dare list this year's Muses. Yes, you're on the list.
