One thing I believe is a necessity in growing up is having a mentor. Having a mentor is, not only, beneficial for the mentee but also the mentor. Being a mentor is a learning experience for everyone participating, it helps people grow as a person and friendships are created when a bond if formed. Some people might think it's a waste of time for a child or that it'll never work out for a troubled delinquent but based on the research I've done, I have proven them wrong. Through-out this paper I will provide the pros and cons of mentoring and how they affect both mentor and mentee. To back up my proposal that mentoring is supporting, I will supply examples to answer the question: Is mentoring really important?

My general goal for the year includes training the next generation of cadets. I also have some specific goals I will complete during the upcoming term. First, I think mentorship between cadets needs to step up and play an active role in week to week activities. Even though the 130th has an outstanding group of cadet leaders currently, many newer cadets seem to lack the interest or understanding to take the next step in their leadership journey; mentorship will assist in providing novice cadets with the necessary tools and encouragement to succeed. Secondly, giving cadets personalised classes through more leadership classes. Providing grade related tips from experienced cadets showcases another way to engage cadets and it would be great if the

I’ve never really thought of myself as having a mentor, I mean yeah I have my family, friends, and all of the people that care for me around me, but when I really think about it Terry would have to be my mentor. Terry has help me through so much! My track career and has made me a better thrower, and a better person. He always gives off a really good vibe and he treats all of his kids like one of his own, and as me coming in as a freshman it really helped not having one awkward moment in this track year because of Terry.

"Mentoring is a process in which a person who is experienced, wise and trusted, guides an inexperienced individual to develop to their full potential" (Carr, and Gidman, 2008). There is a mentor I would never forget in my life. Although she has passed away, her good work in my life shaped the way I approach my profession today. I remembered coming to the facility on my first day and the supervisor approached two nurses to give me orientation but they refused but the third nurse accepted, with an opened heart she equipped me with most of the tools I needed to be an effective nurse in this profession. All the qualities of a good nurse I was taught in the school were all in her. She had communication skills, emotional stability, empathy, attention to detail, interpersonal skills, physical endurance, and problem solving skills. Sometimes we think these qualities are design for nurses to patients, but it is not. These are characters that should go with us wherever we are. It should have extended to co-nurses as well and my mentor had it all. Although accent was a little difficult for both of us, with her endurance skills and someone so familiar

My Mentor goes by the name of Alexandria. Alexandria is a long time friend of mines who have recently passed away. We meet through my best friend one day when i came over her house and she was sitting there. When i walked in she was looking at me a certain kind of way and i couldn't understand why. Alexandria and I were like two peas in a pod she was my everyday girl my number one supporter in everything i did in life.

Becoming a mentor/leader who can work with others to assist them in becoming better educators is my ultimate goal. In order to accomplish this task, I need to learn more about many topics. One way that will help me to learn is to utilize the tools of keywords and search limiters to assist my searches in the Northcentral Library and other sources. Another tool to take advantage of is the use of peer-reviewed materials. Using these will help me save time and focus on the really good material instead of material that may not have been written by a reliable source. Here are some ways that I have utilized my research to help motivate my students to be more successful in middle school allowing me to become a better educator and one who can help others to motivate their students.

Being a mentor has a special meaning for me. Ten years ago I was sitting outside my high school principal’s office having given up convinced that I would never graduate. There were a lot of factors that led up to that, but two were not having a place to live and having a learning disability. Someone with a Cream Cheese bagel covered in Hot Cheetos was in the office that day and asked me if I wanted some. That started a series of conversations that changed my life. Honestly, it probably saved my life. Being a mentor gives me an opportunity to pay that forward. Recently, a student shared with me his story and conviction about attending college. Aspects of his story were very similar to mine, including protecting and setting an example for his

Being a leader is always regarded at as directing folks on a daily basis, however, you must still be able to allow your subordinates a chance to lead as well or they will never develop the confidence to lead on their own. My definition of leadership is having the ability to influence others to accomplish their personal and organizational goals. Furthermore, many people have goals they’d like to pursue, but often find it hard or complicated accomplishing these tasks not having the right guidance and mentorship from a leader who looks out for their best interest.

Several strengths that I feel I would bring to the position as a Peer Mentor is that I am a warm- hearted person and have a friendly personality. This makes people feel comfortable around me and are easily able to open to me. I always carry a smile with me and people tend to view me as someone they can rely on since I’m not a judgmental person. For example, a kindergarten at Image elementary once insisted that I sat next to him during reading group, so I could help. After class was over, the teacher was impressed since that was the first time he was focused, sat the whole time, and did his work. I also, have several students who want to work with me, each time I volunteer and one student calls me mom. I notice that these students see more

Mentors are all around the world and come in both positive and negative aspects. Most people, even if they don’t admit to it, have someone they’ve looked up to in the past or currently do so. But has the quality of role models and mentors decreased?

Mentorship is very important in the workplace especially in the area of training and development. The mentor-protégé relationship is a much needed relationship that begins in the early career stage and this relationship involves the current or new employees and the supervisor or other colleagues that provide work-related guidance. The relationship itself is comprehensive and involves “educational, occupational, physical, social, and spiritual development” (Greenhaus,, Callanan, & Godshalk, 2010, p 211). One of the initial task of the early career the establishment of the career field which involves the gaining of the workplace competence, learn what is needed to excel in the organization, and to gain acceptance in the workplace to be recognized as the valued employee. There are many ways of achieving the above mentioned advantages in the workplace which one main method is through the use of the mentorship program.

When you’re a teenager, you need someone to look up to, you need a mentor. You need an inspiration. This person can be anyone. It could be a teacher, a friend, a sibling, a parent, an aunt or uncle, a grandparent, anyone. For me, this person is my dance teacher Erica Ireland. Webster 's Dictionary defines a mentor as “someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and often younger person.” Erica fits into that definition. Not only is she my mentor, but she is also my inspiration. Webster’s Dictionary defines an inspiration as “something that makes someone want to do something or that gives someone an idea about what to do or create”, or “a force or influence that inspires someone”, as well as “a person, place,
