Independence, predictable consistent actions across a variety of disciplines would be a hallmark of their style. They would seek out personal coaches, step into uncomfortable situations that would expand their knowledge base, admit their shortcomings but have a plan how to improve themselves and always seek out new professional opportunities for growth. This mentor would have insights from years of experience and be willing to share them so that others might grow and learn from their mistakes and

77.) Elements that build a strong friendship are loyalty and devotion. Owen is extremely devoted to the friendship he has with John. Unlike Owen, John is academically challenged and must wait a year to attend Gravesend academy. Owen’s devotion is so strong, that he was willing to stay behind and wait a year to go to Gravesend academy so he could be with John. The text states, “He [Owen] would stay with me; he would enter the academy the following year—he would have skipped a grade yet he volunteered to repeat the ninth grade with me!” (271). Owen then proceeds to say “‘DON’T GIVE IT ANOTHER THOUGHT,’ he said. “WE’RE PALS AREN’T WE? WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR? I’LL NEVER LEAVE YOU” (Irving 271). Owen’s promise to never leave John and even

In the novel we are shown a friendship put on the line by cause of betrayal, lies, and deception. However, the friends contained in this friendship do care deeply for one another, and try in all their power to maintain their relationship. The beginning of this novel starts as our main character, Gene, goes back to his old school in Devon and started recollecting the events and people who altered the course of his life. As the story progressed it painted a picture of the life he had at Devon as well as the people he had met.

The mentor I have chosen is Jane Stanley. Ms. Stanley was influenced by the stories of her grandfather to become a nurse. She was unsure if she could do it at first because she did not think she was smart enough, but she began to love it. While Ms.Stanley was attending school she came across what she thought was an obstacle. She was five months pregnant and ready to drop out of school, but with the encouragement of her husband she did not give up. She graduated and could not be more grateful for the strength god had given her.

At school, Charlie finds a friend and mentor in his English teacher, Bill. He also overcomes his chronic shyness and approaches a classmate, Patrick, and his stepsister Sam, become two of Charlie's BFFs.

They are all seniors and often hang out at the Big Boy except Bob who doesn't go to school.

"Mentoring is a special quality, skill set and attitude," she says. "The benefits are not only between the mentor and mentee, but the future generations."

A Learning Mentor is a relatively new concept in the field of education and is used within schools to support them in raising standards.

Mentors are people who provide support, strength, and inspiration. Many people have a mentor in their life that they aspire to be like, and seek out for guidance. Mentors play a big role in many lives, including Junior's from The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie. Some of the biggest mentors for Junior are his parents, his Wellpinit teacher Mr. P and his Rearden basketball coach. If it weren't for these mentors inspiration and support, Junior wouldn't have taken some of the risks he does.

Mentoring for the mentor is about challenging himself to perform to greater capabilities while nurturing a mentee and stretching them to realise their full potential. Mentors counsel, tutor and guide their mentees in developing themselves.

Another central theme of the Human Condition is relationships, they are major to society and control the standards we have for each other. In Wonder, Palacio explores friendship from Summer’s perspective. She recounts the day she met August and the reactions her peers had towards her actions. ‘He’s just a kid. The weirdest-looking kid i’ve ever seen yes. But just a kid.’. Knowles uses repetition of ‘kid’ to enforce that he is only young but already has to endure the standards of others that crush his self-esteem. Without Summer he would not have acquired his two best friends who supported and stuck up for him through troubling times. Although no one is perfect, we all need a friend to stay by our side in times of doubt. Summer was one of the only students who didn't have many ideals, which opened a door to a new kind of friendship. Relationships are a powerful force illustrated in See You at Harry’s as they helped Fern stay sane in time of grief. ‘Somehow, i think Ran already knows how i feel. And exactly what i need. Just quiet. Just a friend.

She put her lunch tray on the table, plopped her backpack on the floor, and sat down across from me. She started to eat the mac and cheese on her plate (51).” When Auggie was hurt he clung to the only people he knew were true friends to him. He is lucky to have Summer, having a Summer in high school would have meant everything to me, as it does to Auggie. Summer saw Auggie for who he truly was, she did not see just his difference she saw him. She saw how smart he was, how nice he was to her. She saw his humor and his pain, she just wanted to be the best person she could be for him and that was a friend. A friend is something you should never take for granted. Someone to lean on, to confess to, and to be silly with. I never had friends like that. My friends talked behind my back to my sister about me, telling her how annoying I was or they couldn’t understand why I thought the way I did. They told my sister not to let me go to a certain college so they didn’t have to “take care” of me for four more years. I didn’t have friends in high school, I had acquaintances, because I was different. The people in my life never even said bye to me when I left for college that is when I started to truly see how I was treated. It took me until I went away to college to find someone like Summer. To find someone who would constantly be there for me whenever I need them and to laugh
