Does any one feel way behind the curve and wish they had mentors in accounting to speak to on a family level that you can trust and know they really want you to succeed?

I felt that way in the beginning. However though I kept in contact with my trainer from orientation who's also African American. If you feel behind though, a trainee won't honestly make you feel better. What will help is asking more questions to understand what's being asked. That's the best way to learn. With you being an intern it's honestly expected. Don't feel too discouraged to ask either.
