The study explored the profound influence an attuned mentor can have on the career trajectories of young mothers. By engaging in detailed interviews with women who navigated the challenges of early motherhood while pursuing higher education and establishing themselves in the workforce, this researcher seeks to uncover the pivotal role mentors played in their journeys. Through thoughtful questioning, this researcher hopes to shed light on the ways in which these mentors provided guidance, support, and encouragement that propelled these women to achieve significant professional milestones. Their stories will illuminate the transformative power of mentorship in empowering teen mothers to realize their full potential and succeed in the professional realm.
