My Mentor Research Paper

Communication for me of the verbal kind has never been a challenge, I love meeting new people, and I love talking with new people, I am a people person to say the least. My personality under pressure supersedes any negativity that is happening around me, I don’t believe that negative things should overcome the positive, and I see every situation in life as one with positivity. I am an excellent verbal communicator, especially in the work place. I must be, because I am a particular person when it comes to most things in life, not to say I am stubborn, unwilling or unable

This year I have taken the initiative and joined the Freshman mentor program. Every Thursday, I stand in front of my freshman class and try to guide them through their first year of high school successfully. I put myself out for them, telling them about my experiences, my mistakes. Not only do I tell them of my experiences, I show them others as well. This allows them realize they can exceed and become successful as well. Weekly, I engage them by asking for their opinions on certain topics , problems, and situations in school and encourage them to find ways to solve or improve those situations and problems. By allowing them to talk, express themselves, voice their opinions, I encourage them to start thinking, to develop problem solving

There are people in everyone's lives who have played a significant role in developing their personality or have been a mentor or a guide or a positive influence all their life. My oldest brother, Kaleb Mortenson, has been all of these as he has helped me with life advice and inspired me technologically and musically.

Welcome to 2017! As we leave the old year behind, I find it hard to forget the often turbulent and contentious public dialogue about…well, almost everything. But there are too many havens of sanity for me to lose hope. One of the things that impressed me about the Coalition’s community of survivors from the moment I first walked through the door is its openness to people from all backgrounds, all interests, all walks of life. Breast cancer certainly doesn’t discriminate; quite the contrary, it levels the playing field. As survivors, we find ourselves reaching across political aisles, economic barriers, and

I am excited to finally start my senior year. From what my parents, friends and family have told me, senior year is supposed to be a great year. However, I believe it will be like any other year; it will not be the year I remember the most out of high school. Most of my family has been out of highschool for a significant amount of years, therefore, they do not realize how much the pressure on students has increased since then. Students now are expected to take the SATS and the ACTS in order to get into a good college. In the society we live in now, if one was to go to a community college he is thought less of because he did not go to a college that is known. However, I think community college is a great option for everyone. It is ridiculous

Becoming a Wings peer mentor means that I get to take my knowledge I have learned while at Arrowhead and share it with the people who need it the most. One of the very first things I would share with them is one my my favorite quotes of all time, said by Zig Ziglar: “You can’t climb uphill by thinking downhill thoughts”. I would like to say that I have lived by this saying everyday in my life. All around me I hear degrading things being said about other people and it makes me realize that some days, high school can be a really brutal place to be. You never know who’s talking about you, what they are saying, if your friends are really your friends, or if your crush really likes you. You don’t know what grade you got on a test, and you feel like a teacher has it out for you. There are so many things that occupy a high schooler’s mind and make going to school one of the scariest things you will do, especially when you are a freshman walking into Arrowhead for the first time.

Why are you interested in serving as a peer-mentor to support graduating seniors in enrolling in college

I want to take the time to say thank you for all you have taught me about professionalism and the great advice you have given me along the way. I have sincerely enjoyed the time I have spent with you at Teach for America. It was such an amazing pleasure having you as my mentor. You were always available to help me whenever you can and consistently checking-in with me to ensure I was on track, which I really appreciate your kindness. I’m so happy that I got the opportunity to have a different mentor because it provided me with new experiences and new skills that I needed. It has been great getting to know you at TFA.

I would like to be remembered as this crazy and energetic person who has an insane love for music. I want to be the person to make others happy. In the future, I will hopefully be in a band of some sort (preferably a rock band), touring the world.

On the other hand, I would not be where I am if not to the most dedicated and amazing couple, Sa Bo Nim Tullier and Ms. Jacky Tullier. I look up to Sa Bo Nim with utmost respect. He is my teacher, but at the same time he has been a mentor and a great leader. On the other hand, Ms. Jacky is always there to lend a hand. She has ideas for everything. Together they are a great team! I can enumerate the fun stuff they plan for the students of PKSA including our families and friends. My favorite one is the Nerf wars. Still not equipped with English vocabulary, I totally can understand the meaning of fun and water when I see it. I remember, all the kids teamed up against Mr. Betz. And yes, we won. I have never seen a huge inflatable in my life, but like they said, there is always a first time. To make a long story short, I went home soaked and tired. But the best thing was, I had a big happy smile before going to bed.

I agree that having a mentor can you break through the barriers of a glass ceiling. For instance, a mentor can help you develop your skills better, grow as a person, and meet the right people who can help you move up the corporate ladder (Tahminicioglu, 2006). In other words, a mentor can inspire and motivate you to succeed.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to chat with you for a few minutes today.

As a senior I have numerous strengths and weaknesses that go on in my everyday school life. At school, I’m extremely useful with my time, I am hard working, turn in all of my assignments, and show up almost every day working my hardest. I have college classes as a senior in high school and participate in extracurricular activities.While I have some weaknesses like studying frequently for quizzes and tests, also I would like to work on my writing skills during school for me outside of school.

I think my relationship with my peers is fairly strong. I think we have a good chemistry and help each other/support each other. We often check in to see how each other is doing particularly if we know one of us has gone through a tough crisis. We often pray for one another. We even have gone out to dinner together to just spend time with each other outside the hospital setting. I can see the interns being lifelong collages that I can trust and call if needed post CPE. I truly feel blessed that we are going through this process together.

The first thing, chronologically, is that I am taking my weakness of fear of playing music in front of people. With it, I am helping on the worship team for the camp training meetings. The other way I am engaging in society is by actually being a camp counselor. This is like using my weakness of inability to speak clearly in front of people but doing so and leading a group of 20 or so kids in the morning and in the afternoon a different group of kids. Along that line, the Bible has a fair amount of verses about weaknesses and strength. For example, Isaiah 40:29 says, “He gives strength to the weary, and increases the power of the weak.” This verse stuck out to me more than some of the others because if I am doing what God wants me to do- which I have no idea if Wilderness Camp is or is not- than this should stand
