Becoming Unlimited Mentor

I’m interested in becoming a Link Unlimited Scholar, in light of the things they have to offer in helping me become a better student and person. Nevertheless, they are academically and mentally preparing us for high school and also how to excel in college. I never had an opportunity to do anything like Link Unlimited Scholar. I like to try new things that helps and challenges me on things I don’t know to make me a better person. Becoming a Link Unlimited Scholar is beneficial for me and everyone else in so many ways, as far as reaching our goals and dreams. Having this opportunity will give us a chance to gain control in lives. With this life experience I can share my opportunity within the community and, although I would have a mentor I’m

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?

Formal mentoring programs are ubiquitous on college campuses and yet there is a lack of high quality training for mentoring participants online. The Entering Mentoring training is a notable exception (more here). However, this training is in person. More here about lack of inclusive mentoring / cultural intelligence.

"Um, why does any of this matter to you." Disbelief swept over my mind, I couldn't believe the attitude. It was my first day as a mentor in success when I quickly realized this was not going to be an easy year. The girl that I was chosen to mentor became my biggest challenge. She refused to work, much less talk to me. Over time she began to open up, I soon found out what no one wants to hear, she did not have a very stable, content home life. Although it was difficult to keep her motivated with these struggles constantly in the back of her mind, I knew I had to be understanding. We worked together day after day, on her grades as well as her overall well being. The university motto, Ut Prosim - (That I May Serve) was the foundation of our learning

Throughout this week’s team discussion session the group identified three resources needed for collaborative consultation to be effective in a school setting. Our team discussed how mentoring and training is needed to develop and improve teaching practices. Mentoring and professional development can be arranged by administration to assist both novice and seasoned teachers. Another skill identified by our group was the need for teachers to develop efficient organizational systems, in order to maximize the use of your time. For example, a group member discussed the importance of collecting and organizing your students’ IEP goals, benchmarks, and data in preparation for meetings. This skill may be developed with the help of asking other teachers

One problem with relying only on informal mentoring is that women, minorities, and nontraditional leaders are rarely chosen as mentees (Sherman, 2002). Women and clinician-educator faculty in particular are at risk of inadequate mentoring relationships (Ramani et al., 2006). Mentoring may be one suitable approach to overcoming gender related barriers and fostering the career advancement of female leaders (Hoigaard & Mathisen, 2009). Females with formal mentors are less satisfied with their mentoring programs than are their male counterparts due to the lack of in-depth understanding of the mentoring process and relationship building when working with female protégés (Hoigaard & Mathisen, 2009). Female mentors with female protégés reported

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

For the past several months, my internship has been at a standstill. Although, recently things have started to move along. Connection with my mentor was not the best, but now it has been re-established. I know now which days are best for my mentor, which days have the most customers who seek naturopathic advice, and my mentor is giving me access to reading materials. These materials and time spent with my mentor will give me much needed knowledge about naturopathic and holistic solutions to ailments.

Nurses maintain a position in which they guide, support and nurture a less experienced person (Berman, Snyder, & Frandsen, 2016). A nurse as a mentor can be important in helping less experienced nurses assumed added responsibilities. The benefits of having a mentor include but are not limited to: acquiring clinical practice knowledge, building confidence within, and performance improvement (Taylor, Lillis, LeMone, & Lynn, 2011).

In this spring semester, I have a great mentoring experience with Dr. Richard Brundage. Dr. Richard Brundage has a unique background in pharmacy world because he owns Doctor of Pharmacy degree as well as Doctor of Philosophy in pharmaceuticals. He is now a professor at University of Minnesota, College of Pharmacy, Department of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology (ECP). His research interests are pharmacometrics, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. I am familiar with pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, but pharmacometrics is a new concept and area to me. And Dr. Richard Brundage explains his research interest to me with a great passion and proud. Pharmacometrics is a field where people use different mathematics

The article, “Mentoring in Action: The Interplay among Professional Assistance, Emotional Support, and Evaluation,” (2015), discusses a study that was done over the growing emphasis on teacher accountability and how it has grown over the year in the area of evaluating and mentoring (Israel, Kamman, McCray, & Sindelar, 2014, p. 45). The study involved teachers from an urban school district. The participants included several different types of teachers which included sixteen special education teachers and five mentors. The purpose of the study was to discover the “types of emotional and professional supports provided in a new-teacher mentoring program” (Israel, Kamman, McCray, & Sindelar, 2014, p. 61). These teachers were evaluated over and

The mentoring program at our school is a positive factor that i think we need at our school. It sets a great example for the new freshman coming in. Not only do they learn new thing and take new things away from each session ,I believe that they actually enjoy each fuel day. I don't know about the other mentors but mentoring definitely raised my confidence. It just doesn't boost the mentors confidence but it also can boost the mentees confidence. And lastly it doesn't matter if you are the mentor or the mentee. Ignition is a good way to increase your social skills and meet new people.

All the questions raised are pertinent in getting into the nitty-gritty whether or not Richard ought to have had he’s Training Coordinator enroll him into the course in question. As regards to whether or not I checked he’s training history? Yes, of course, I did. Richard completed all the prerequisites leading to LFM except Creating a Development Plan in eLMS FAA30200674.

I met with seventeen individuals (listed below) and one group during my three-day visit. I was not able to meet with one person due to schedule conflicts.

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,
