My Mentor Experience

My mentor I interviewed was my mother, Christina Kidd a self-employed Esthetician who takes pride in her profession and loves what she does. She started her early adulthood as a waitress at several different restaurants, as a mother of three she attended a beauty college in Long Beach and achieved her associate’s degree in applied science. She then got training in esthetician at Career Academy to have a license to work in esthetics. She has been self-employed for majority of her adulthood, seventeen years. My mentor manages her own esthetician business called “Skin care by Christy”. She began her business in her home town Orange County by simply caring for other people’s skin till one day people insisted on paying her. Then she expanded

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?

My summer internship was completed at Villa Maria College in the Student Success Center. The SSC is an initiative that was started last year to provide first-year advising, tutoring, success workshops, and a first-year mentorship program. The center was created to provide enhanced support for first-year students and to help them achieve their academic goals. My position as an intern was research-oriented. I gathered information from various sources and my findings were used to enhance their current programs. I was taken on as an intern due to my experience as a Research Assistant at the Center for Development of Human Services, as well as my advisement experience.

I admire your positive attitude on your first day as a mentee because you did not give up even though you had a negative mentoring experience; instead, you kept your positive attitude and offered to help other nurses who were working around. A mentor should be someone that will guide you and give you advice about the profession (Green & Jackson, 2014). For a mentor and mentee relationship to succeed, they both have to respect each other (Green & Jackson, 2014). We currently have a nursing shortage and having bad experiences with mentors is only going to get this nursing shortage worse. To avoid negative experiences with mentors, one thing we should do is that the mentee should have the option to choose his mentor. Or vice versa, mentors

opportunities for growth. I appreciated my mentors’ ability to take the time to connect with me. I have identified being able to connect with people as a good skill to

Granted, I made the most of my adversities but, there were defining moments where I was encompassed, with self-doubt, depression and dubiety. The three being the: diagnosis of my disabilities; end of my athlete's life and the greatest and transition to college. I had no control over these events but my attitude has been preparing me to resilient, successful and to aid others, especially my mentee's.

When learning something new, the quickest easiest most successful way is to find a great coach and mentor. Recommendations are great, or Google the trainer you have in mind especially if the training involves the internet.

Recently, Literacy Mid-South was just recognized in the Memphis Business Journal for our partnership with a company called MentorMe.

Going into my second year at Howard, I aspire to focus more on making sure i achieve all my goals with minimal mistakes and unsatisfactory choices. A mentor is essential in being able to reach my goals as a mechanical engineer smoothly.I want to have a mentor who can help me learn, and provide me with information and knowledge that will help me achieve my goals. Furthermore, I am a young engineer who works diligently and with the right help and counsel I can provide exceptional results.

To be filled completely with a goal and willing to do anything to follow that goal. To overcome for success, that's how I felt rock climbing. I would drive up to a cliff hike in and decide what part of the face I would concur. With my pack of supply's pulling me back asking for me to just lay down I started my hike around the edge. On bolyai off bolyai, 15 steps at a time; I made jumps over cravasses and trusted my rope. On top of the cliff wall I look over as my heart pounds I bolyai down 80 feet. Just to challenge myself to climb up again. After a few times up and down, my last climb I gather my gear at the top, and hike down. The river rose as I climbed forcing me to find a new path. My desire to climb is intrinsic. I go through challenges to accomplish my goal. If I got distracted I could get lost or hurt myself. Being filled with a desire to climb allowed me to conquer.

Ethics is a code of behaviour and thinking governed from combination of legal, social, personal and moral standards of what is right. However the definition of ‘right’ differs with the cultures and situations. Supervisors, advisors and mentors showcase an important role in professional development of the trainee. Mentors’ role is significant for practising formative role under ethical development of trainees and students in the manner where professional and ethical values are conveyed, both unconsciously and consciously (Kass, 2001).

Mentorship is very important in the workplace especially in the area of training and development. The mentor-protégé relationship is a much needed relationship that begins in the early career stage and this relationship involves the current or new employees and the supervisor or other colleagues that provide work-related guidance. The relationship itself is comprehensive and involves “educational, occupational, physical, social, and spiritual development” (Greenhaus,, Callanan, & Godshalk, 2010, p 211). One of the initial task of the early career the establishment of the career field which involves the gaining of the workplace competence, learn what is needed to excel in the organization, and to gain acceptance in the workplace to be recognized as the valued employee. There are many ways of achieving the above mentioned advantages in the workplace which one main method is through the use of the mentorship program.

I teach Career Technical Education in a Title one high school for students who are in a credit recovery program, some with poor attendance and others that are struggling academically. Participating in the Kenan Fellows Program would grant me access to experience, tools and resources, which will increase my knowledge base. My goal is to incorporate this training into my lessons to connect and increase students’ enthusiasm for learning, thereby increasing student retention.

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.
