My Hero, A Mentor

Everyone in the world has someone they look up to and want to be just like them one day. Everyone has different opinions about who a true hero is. My personal hero is my dad, David Laetzsch. My dad is my favorite person in the world because he is always there when I need him the most and I don’t know where I would be today without him. He has helped get me to the great life I have now and I am forever thankful for all he does for me. Nobody could ever compare to my father. He is the most caring, loving and genuine person I know even if he doesn’t show it sometimes, and that is why he is my hero.

I wanted to thank you again for allowing me to be a part of the HBCU Pride Summer Institute. The experience was enjoyable and enlightening. Since this experience, I have seriously questioned my career goals and direction. In fact, I really miss our quarterly self-assessments. They really provided a roadmap for growth. I also love working with Gina. She is awesome. I feel inspired, just as I did with Dr. Gamble, to stretch myself and knowledge base. I want to do more.

Thank you for allowing me to work with you and always being open to questions. You really contributed to my knowledge and my interest in working with children. It was always fun to work with you and learn from you. I think you do an amazing job with the kids! Wish you the best with your master. Have a great holidays

I have enjoyed getting to know and working with all of you over the last few weeks. As always, I learn as much if not more from all of you than vice versa. Best of luck in all

I would like to thank for coming and visiting our AVID class. To go up and become a Miss San Joaquin is just really mind-bogglingly crazy! I have so much respect to you. I wouldn’t have the guts just to do any of the things that you’ve mentioned in class. I really admire you for that. To have the guts of steel to do something that might not even work out is just crazy. I also have lots of gratitude for you coming and seeing us even though you were scared to speak in front of us.

Thank you for helping us with all of our work. Words cannot express how much we appreciate you! Your big heart, and compassion have more impact on me than you can realize! Your lessons are gift I will always treasure! I will miss FCCLA very much! It is an honor for me to be a FCCLA member! Thank you for

As time passes and deadlines approach, a certain question seemed to constantly come to mind, “who am i?”. I never took the time to ask myself this question, but as my senior year slowly comes to an end, and the time to plan out my future is here, the question arose. It's difficult to find time to ask myself this question, and even more difficult to find the answer with so many other things circling my mind, especially around this time in the year. But in order to get to where I am now, I had to get to know myself first.

October 23rd, 2002, a very dreadful day for my family… my day of birth. Maybe it was wonderful, but I’ll never know the truth. My dad will not actually tell me what he was thinking in that moment, and I will never hear my mom talk about that day, or any day, or actually anything ever again. I’ll get to the death of my mom later. As I came home from the hospital I have no memory of that, but my earliest memory is around the age of six. Six years old, and sitting on a bar stool. I’d sit, sip a Sprite, munch on some crackers while my dad got shit faced drunk. I remember the small room. Smells of smoke and alcohol fill my nostrils. I sat on a bar stool so long that my butt print was engraved in it, kind of like the fat guy that I used to talk to. He was up

You are literally one of the nicest human beings I have ever met, along with Pink of course. But as i’ve gotten to know you more over the year, i’ve learned about all the things you do that you might not get a ton of recognition for, such as helping JT, and it is truly an inspiration. You’ve never asked for recognition for any of the things you do, but I know that everything you do now make you such a great person, so I know you have an amazing future ahead of you. Trust me, I’ll never forget the Stats class with Chipoli (however you said it), and the countless times we just laughed at ourselves because we had no idea what was going on. I wouldn’t be telling the truth if I said that class wasn’t the biggest struggle, but we struggled together,

Helpful Mentor My mentor Deb, understood that I struggled being confident when I interacted with patients. Knowing that about me, Deb found ways to help me improve my confidence, especially the times I had to be the nurse. Taking on the role of a nurse during admissions was nerve-racking, but as I continued admitting patients during clinicals, I began to feel more relaxed and confident. Deb always made sure that I was learning something new and would have me set up goals for myself each clinical day.

Thank you for knowing what was capable of even when I did not. Although at the start of the year model congress was something which I was hesitant about remaining in, your encouragement and confidence in me, inspired me to continue. Thank you for believing in

When we were on the bus again we passed by an asteroid that had animals like a unicorn, griffin, and even more creatures. When they got to the planet Ceres, the planet in the asteroid belt, there was blood everywhere, bodies on the floor and fights of civilian and the guards. When they landed on the planet, fights were starting and civilians on the ground. When they got on the planet, guards were killing were on the bus.

As my teaching internship ends, I wanted to extend a sincere thank you to you and Chesney Elementary School. It was exciting to be able to apply Chesney kindergarten theories to developing lesson plans. I am grateful for the expertise you added in aiding my development as a teacher. The fall internship has proven to be an invaluable experience for me.

I apologize for the late response. Thank you for your kind words I truly appreciate them! I have learned so much in so little time and I am excited to see what is in store to learn in the future! This is a wonderful opportunity for me and I thank you for giving me the chance to achieve success for your business!

Furthermore, I have noticed/admired your (above average) active listening skills that you have demonstrated throughout the semester. For example, when a student would ask a question and could not fully complete their thought or idea, you would always step in and smoothly articulate their story and connect it to a real life situation or social work field related – and for that, I am thankful for having a professor that is detail oriented and caring.
