Becoming My Mentor-Personal Narrative

As a former mentor for ABC Learn, a non-profit agency providing additional literacy training to at-risk students, I was taught to take pride in building a strong relationship with the students and families who face numerous problems from social and economic integration.

Throughout one’s lifetime, everyone will meet at least one extraordinary person whom they will never forget. A person like this will stand out as an individual and leave a lasting impression. The most extraordinary person I can think of is Joel Dudgeon. I met Mr. Dudgeon, Mr. D. as he likes to be called, in eighth grade when I went out for track and field. Upon first meeting him, I knew I was going to get along exceptionally well with him. His humorous remarks and joyful demeanor made getting along with him exceedingly easy. Throughout years of getting to know him better, I realized he was not only a tremendous track and cross country coach but also a devoted, generous, thoughtful, and inspiring role model.

When registration time rolled around in fall 2015, I only needed 12 hours to graduate in May; however, I knew I would be bored and yearned for a class that was meaningful and would end my college career on a positive note. When Dr. May mentioned the mentoring at-risk youth class I was hooked. Although he tried to talk everybody out of it, I knew that this was going to be a perfect fit for me. I have always enjoyed working with youth, whether it was through coaching cheerleading, volunteering in the local elementary school, or spending afternoons at a halfway house for abused and neglected children. By signing up for the mentoring program I was able to try something I had never tried before— using my love for youth to create a lifelong one-on-one

The next day at practice I did not even want to go outside. It was raining again and I knew I was in for some mean looks from my four by four team. You ready to go outside. Daniel held into the locker room, No I mumbled back. It was a learning experience Janye there will be another meet. What if I never get to run that event again, the coach y thinks I am terrible. We have to go out there and stay focused and be better than were yesterday all we can do is try right. I gave her side because that was the same exact thing I said to her the other day. She pulled me up and we walked towards the track. I when we reached the poly track the coach came over to talk to me about the awful hand over. I stopped him before he could lecture me on the importance

Fast forward to the track state meet eighth grade year. As I said before success can be a really tough thing to handle. I had gone through an up and down phase after cross country season ended. I didn’t go to practice, I started to not care as much about school and I was acting the completely opposite of the person I was before. After the upset at the state meet, I just didn’t seem to care anymore. I just focused on getting by the rest of the school year but it just didn’t work. My coaches convinced me to keep going they brought me in and had a talk with me. I still remember that day with my coach, Coach H. He was a really important person to me and had grown on me so much. He cared about his athletes like they were his own children. I sat

Looking back, I can remember my freshman self being ecstatic about finally being in high school with the older kids. I was eager to try new things and meet new people. In the first month of school, freshmen were introduced to their freshman mentors who taught advisement lessons and were meant to serve as guides to assist students in their first year of high school. I looked up to mentors; they were the first upperclassmen besides my relatives that I knew. However, my mentors failed to do their specified job. During lessons, they neglected to keep students engaged in the topic and did not show up prepared or with enthusiasm. They acted as if they were too cool and didn’t serve as a positive role model for freshman. My experience that year is

Now, it was time for the race I was most excited for, the 4x400. It was the same distance as my previous run, but our relay had a shot of winning the title of first. We all got in the infield and practiced our handoffs. They had to perfect, seamless and quick. The difference between a good and bad handoff could cost us first place. Our event was last, so we cheered on our team as they completed theirs. Looking at the scoreboard so far, we knew there was no chance we could come back and win with only the few events we had left. That didn’t matter though, because we had to show we don’t give up and do what we

Every beginning had a charm of its own that makes it unique and unlike any other event that had happened in one's life. In my cause, my beginning in a journey to develop myself as a person and a leader started with the new and final school year as a high school student. As much as it was exciting as much as it was nerve racking. For the first time, I was to become a mentor for a group of people I barely knew anything about. To furthermore my anxiety I was quickly faced with my first challenge which included much of unfortunate luck that was working alone. Upon receiving the news that I was the only mentor for that specific class, I became uneasy. I’ve accepted the offer for becoming a mentor knowing that I’ll be surrounded by a group of people

It was July 30, 1985. I had butterflies in my stomach! Today was the day I’d debut with my husband, Randy Savage as his manager. I could hear Randy’s voice he was talking to the manager's, his voice was deep plus they gave him a microphone, not that he needs one. I think he was talking to Mr.Fuji now, he was thanking them for their help. That was my cue.

I will be grateful if you could please inform her and at the same time let me

I enjoyed reading your post as I can sense a genuine happiness about your position and employer you work for. The way you expressed your relationship with your boss reminds me of a mentor to their protégé. Even though it seems like you’ve moved to another position form where you started, she is still in tuned with you. Looking for opinions and input on situations does provide value to the individual. The best mentors are credible, challenge you to improve, stimulate you to take risks, build your confidence, support your efforts to set “stretch” goals, and identify challenges and opportunities. (Newstrom, 2015). I think your boss has these skills checked off with no effort and a clear example of participative leader.

Yesterday, I was not feeling well and had an upset stomach so I was unable to come in to work. It was an exhausting Monday to say the least and I would not have been able to work or be productive. I am not 100% today but I am going to make sure that does not show and that I remain ready to work. Today, started out with a staff meeting where agenda items were discussed such as changes in the website and go over things that happened during the month. In the meeting a short presentation was given on becoming a mentor at MD Anderson. There are only 300 mentors for 21,000 employees so there is a huge gap to fill. Vikki and her coworker are looking to have 100 mentors by the end of August sign up. After the meeting Cathy asked me to send her a list of all of the events and things I have done. I think she needed it in order to complete the mid-term

I'm a mentor of Neuroscience and Neurorehabilitation. I have a 3 years’ experience in the field of education, and I think I can deliver the complicated information very simply and very effectively. 80% of my students rated over 3/4 in the final course evaluations, which is considered as a brilliant result. Besides my teaching experience, I also have a solid medical background that will assist me so well in the writing tasks. Moreover, I got many local awards from Cairo University in the Scientific Research

My previous manager unforgettable. His name was Farshad, he provided me inspirational motivation, eventually becoming a true surprising mentor. He motivated me to further my education, directed me towards a path for career advancement. He explained to me having an education combined with work experience, would benefit me. I always envisioned going back to school, but never knew which educational route I needed for my career advancement. So, I never took the necessary steps to move forward.
