The first meeting was extremely interesting and useful. My mentor talked about working in IT, studying at a university and competitions. I took note of some of them and finally decided that I wanted to enter university with participation in the Olympiad. Just recently, for a machine learning course, I made a motivational video and sent it to my mentor for review. She helped edit some points, for which I am very grateful.

I immediately really liked the idea of mentoring: it’s cool when you can communicate with a person who has experience in this field. I had my first call, discussed a lot of things, received feedback, recommendations: what to read, where to study. I'm glad to communicate with such a person. Now I’m not initiating the next call yet, simply because I have nothing to ask, the general picture of the actions is clear to me. If I have questions about the courses, I also write to the mentor in messenger. No more is needed for now.
