Compare And Contrast Me And My Mentor

The use of a mentor to help develop a character is something that commonly occurs in films. One particular example is in the movie The Shawshank Redemption. In this film, the main character, Andy Dufresne, a man who is wrongly convicted of murdering his wife, begins by entering the Shawshank Correctional Center. Upon arrival, he slowly finds his way to Ellis Boyd “Red” Redding. Red becomes his mentor throughout the film. Andy not only learns bounds from Red, but also helps Red discover some things as well. The movie illustrates the concept of phases of mentoring from the beginning to the end of the film in a beautifully thought-out way. The phases of mentoring are preparation, negotiation, enabling growth, and coming

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.

A mentor is someone we all have whether it's your parents, friends, or even a total stranger! What makes them all the same? They all have great qualities. It could be that one of them happens to be an extraordinary listener or ]they might have great wisdom and patience. When you are looking for a great mentor, you are going to want someone with patience, determination, and listens

From a very early age my Dad had taught me resilience. I didn’t even know what that word was as a little girl, but I knew exactly what it meant. Never giving up. The way your character grows, the different perspective you see things, and the content feeling of accomplishment. My Dad inspires me to go above and beyond expectations, and has always told me to set a goal and go for it. I give him a lot of credit for my academic, and athletic achievements due to him always displaying his hard work ethic, and his involvement in my life.

Great post Titilayo! It is great that you have two mentors in your life. Having two mentors can teach a person quit a few things in life being that he or she can be knowledgeable in many areas. Mentorship is an important factor in life being that it can help a person succeed in life and be able to pay it forward towards people that are willing to learn.

He always uses this word “karma,” which means the good you do, you will eventually receive back. Sometimes not caving into the wrong is very hard. There have been times when I’ve felt left out or behind because I didn’t want to be involved with something I knew I shouldn’t be. However, dad’s “karma” always seems to happen like he says it will. Maybe not right away, but when I least expect it. For example, I was debating what car I should take to prom this year. My mom noticed a red Camaro sitting on the corner at Mulder Oil. She mentioned it to me, but I said, “Scott, won’t let me take that.” She told me to go in and ask because you don’t know unless you ask. The next day, I went in to talk to Scott. He told me that some others had asked him about taking it to prom as well, but he had told them no. Much to my surprise, he then told me, “You, though, Mitch, can take it. You’re the kind of kid I can trust with it.” There’s that karma Dad talks about happening. My character and values that I try to show every day in what I do and say benefited when Scott said I’m the kind of kid he could trust with that expensive

Generally, a mentor is pictured as a “crusty old man who could wield magic and always had a word of advice for the protagonist” (Archetypes in a Hero’s Journey http://members.optusnet.com.au/~mgoodin68/archtype.htm). Mentors will not necessarily be another human, but may also be in a form of another animal, object or force of nature. In a few stories, the Hero would have started will some previous experience and already have a self-conscious ‘mentor’. In the Hobbit, the main mentor would be Gandalf. His advice to Bilbo and the dwarves had much given them plenty of advice for their upcoming journey. Other mentors include Beorn, who had given the group of adventurers a place to sleep and had replenished their supplies, as well as the Spiders, who had taught Bilbo to use his head to outsmart the spiders and free the

My dad has always been my biggest motivator and the reason for growing up the way I did. We had a very tight relationship; I was definitely a "daddy's girl." I always wanted to be around him, he was someone I looked up to when I was younger. I always looked at him like he was so much more

A mentor however has to understand his role and not get caught up with his mentee too personally and possibly emotionally as this can affect his judgement in giving out advice to the mentee in vital situations.

During this mentor relationship it shows the reader how a mentor relationship looks like and there are many things that we can learn from it. For a mentor relationship to be effect is the must be a close relationship. In this relationship there should be a level of trust and honestly established between both parties. In addition, transparency is essential. For example, Moses was willing to tell his father-in-law what issues were going on in his life.

I don’t think that my dad knows how much I really do appreciate him and everything that he has done for me. My dad has been there for me every step of the way. From teaching me the essentials like walking and talking to just the simple joys in life like riding a bike and driving a car. Every step of the way he was right there telling me how proud he was. To some those are just simple words but to me they mean so much more. The one thing I want in life is to make my parents proud and to never disappoint them. But what my dad doesn’t know is how proud I am of him. I’m proud of how he puts family first, always. I can always count on my Dad to be there at everything I do. I’m proud of his sense of humor, and how he lifts the spirits of those around him; how he can lift the spirits of our family when times are tough. My dad did not have the easiest childhood, he lost his mother as a teenager and grew up with just a father but still today he is one of the happiest most joyful hearted men I know and for that I am proud. I’m proud to tell you that he took the time every night when

I dint get any help from my mentor I only got to skype her once and the was only for asking her questions. I think my mom didn't trust me, obsessively so she took over I didn't say anything because that never goes well.

a. My interviewing skills have come to help me know my mentor (Harriet Kulakoff) as a person because they allowed me to engage with her in conversation not only about her thoughts on healthy aging but to explore some of her interests such as playing tennis and golf or going swimming. Throughout the interview, building off the questions asked by my team members I was also able to illicit her opinion about varying issues including the use of social media and gain her thought on the younger generation and what we can do to support each other as we age as well as become more engaged with each other in light of our seeming dependence on social media. It was an enriching experience to listen to my mentor and having the right interviewing skills to ensure that both she, myself and my team members were comfortable and engaged aided in us having a successful and productive interview.

In conclusion, I am daddy's little girl and proud of that. I could not of asked for a better father. My dad has always been there for me and I wil always be there for him. I respect my father because he deserves to be. He stayed and was a father and never took the easy way out like in the world today most fathers do. I believe my father is the best at everything he does. He has been through so much in his life and still is a happy wonderful man; I would have been sad and depressed if I had to go through hald as much as my father. Dad is strong and looks ahead not He still works hard everyday, at the age of 64 years old. I admire and respect my father for everything he has does and has done. I work hard at everything I do for the greatest reward at the end of all my accomplishments is making my father proud.

My dad is helpful because he can always fix our cars, clean my room, and he is hardworking. How does
