(Mentor of All Mentors)
In the Odyssey, Mentor was Odysseus' friend who was in charge of Odysseus' son Telemachus, and of the palace when Odysseus left for the Trojan war.[1]
Mentor in English means someone who imparts wisdom and shares knowledge with a less experienced colleague.
A mentor inspires and challenges.
A mentor encourages and has practical plans for dealing with professional dilemmas.
A mentor helps in realizing an organization's mission and vision.
A mentor is both a leader and a follower.
Mentor in my school means everyone getting a shot at leading the others towards excellence, and behind each one of us is the mentor of all mentors-- Mr. Martin Coogan.
He is a disbeliever of mediocrity. He challenged the conventions of the past and raised the bar high enough to challenge our levels of aspiration and expectation.
I am what I am as a teacher now because of him. We share the same strong work ethic.
This man, aside from being clever, hardworking and highly productive, has an uncanny knack for paying attention to details. He sees every nook, thus avoiding possible mishaps. He assigns work and follows through; gives us constant heads-up to accomplish targets within the prescribed time. He is always excited to introduce new educational trends, hence making sure that we stay out of the cave. Most of all, he understands unintentional blunders, praises results, and recognizes our efforts and achievements.
Mr. Martin, mentor of all mentors, my mentor, you are a SUPERSTAR!
