What I appreciated most was learning from mentors who had walked the path before us, Sylvia shares. They didnt just teach applications they taught resilience, self-belief, and a mindset to serve others.The program also gave her access to a supportive community, one where networking and peer support opened doors she might never have accessed on her own. Thanks to this mentorship, I gained the confidence to apply for programs I hadnt dared to try before, she explains.Receiving her first acceptance emails was a moment of pure joy. I was thrilled!
