6. Communicate it: Explicitly notify your mentor about the closure.
5. Reflect on Growth: Consider your accomplishments, skills developed, and personal and professional progression.
4. Share Your Success: Discuss your achievements and insights with your mentor for satisfying mutual closure.
3. Express Gratitude: Show appreciation to your mentor for their time, wisdom, and unwavering support.
2. Look Ahead: Talk about potential future interactions, keeping open lines of communication.
