“A mentor is not someone who walks ahead of you to show you how they did it. A mentor walks alongside you to show you what you can do.”🩺
In this photo, you see Marquel Moser, who is currently a pre-vet student, surrounded by mentors, her mother, Dr. Leslie Schur, and her aunt, Dr. Darla Moser, as they are scrubbed in for colic surgery.
