It feels like mentorship is a two-way street. You need to show a willingness to learn and to put in the effort.

I didnt have a "mentor" until I started putting myself out in the open.

I started contributing to Bridgetown , answering questions in the StimulusReflex discord server, willingness to open issues, dig through source code, etc. The big 3 mentors for me have been @jaredcwhite , @andrewmcodes , and @leastbad , each in their own way. I have been coding for 3 years, but only in the last 4-6 months or so did I break out of my shell and put myself out in the open and meet the above individuals, and I havent regretted it at all.

TLDR: If you never put yourself out there, you will never get anywhere.
