The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down is a story that portrays the life of a young Hmong girl named Lia Lee and her battle with heritage and the medical profession. The novel displays two interchanging story lines. One story line exhibits the life of a young girl named Lia Lee and her family as they live as immigrants in the U.S, and the other story line displays the Hmong heritage history. Both of these storylines come together and the novel shows how the two are interchangeable.
This is a quote from the Fault in Our Stars, by John Green. Its significance is found in the fact that the girl, Hazel, is battling with a serious cancer, and yet the boy, Augustus Waters, thinks she is wholly perfect and beautiful despite any complications. My piece uses visual rhetoric to give you a brief gist of what takes place. When you first look at the picture, you see Hazel, due to her blue jacket. You see her face, as well as her breathing tubes. You notice the smile on her face, which leads you to the smile on Augustus’s face. His beaming smile takes you down to the quote highlighted in white, to set it apart. The font emphasizes key words. When read, it clearly states that Hazel is beautiful, and that Augustus

1. Sometime I lack of self-aware, sometime I failed to notice or realize myself being too busy to take an opportunity to care and to help mentoring others children or staff. Instead of avoiding being “too busy” to mentoring; it can lead me into a bad role model in mentoring relationships.
Therefore, this showcases heroism since he is being honest and appreciative about what he receives, yet would rather receive nothing thenaynthing and then shows he doesn’t deserve the gifts by speaking his mind on what not to do for him while indicating no harm and great valor.
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.
Due to Brian Tracy- an American author - to build a positive and productive mentoring program, one should bear in their mind that this is not a one-way relationship. Whether being in the position of a mentor or a mentee, there are few key points that might be useful in order to make the mentoring relationship successful.
It affected me by allowing me to understand that my presence plays a vital role in the life of another. Having someone who admires you and is looking forward to your just being there, whether that be to assist with their homework or provide active listening and positive insight into developmental process means the world to both a mentee and mentor. My involvement in this program allowed me to recognize greater purpose that one plays and each person that they encounters lives.
The ability to positively change someone’s mood with words is a powerful tool. This natural skill of uplifting is possessed by few, and only some of which seldom use it. However, there are alternatives to inspiring joy and happiness in others. While not always meaningful, gifts have the ability of uplifting also. These gifts can range from meager food rations to cheap toys to stupendous vehicles. Despite the extravagance, all gifts must contain one core value, a devotion to the recipient, or an attitude of fondness or love. People love attention, therefore it is not the gifts that uplift that person, but it is the person and thought behind the gift that creates joy. It is not hard to help people; all it takes is to follow a few easy steps to
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?
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
With the development of the more organic and less formal organisational structures the role of mentors has shifted with these changes. Unlike previously where mentors where seen as formal trainers who taught newcomers the processes and got them acquainted with the cultures and the systems within the organisation. Which required good interpersonal skills and a good knowledge of the activity or tasks the mentee would have to undertake, and be able to effectively relay or demonstrate the tasks or activities to the mentee. As opposed to more recently where a mentor would have to be more of an emotional counselor and demonstrate more skills than were traditionally required from
