Personal Narrative: A Career As A Mentor Figure In My Life

As a former mentor for ABC Learn, a non-profit agency providing additional literacy training to at-risk students, I was taught to take pride in building a strong relationship with the students and families who face numerous problems from social and economic integration.

When registration time rolled around in fall 2015, I only needed 12 hours to graduate in May; however, I knew I would be bored and yearned for a class that was meaningful and would end my college career on a positive note. When Dr. May mentioned the mentoring at-risk youth class I was hooked. Although he tried to talk everybody out of it, I knew that this was going to be a perfect fit for me. I have always enjoyed working with youth, whether it was through coaching cheerleading, volunteering in the local elementary school, or spending afternoons at a halfway house for abused and neglected children. By signing up for the mentoring program I was able to try something I had never tried before— using my love for youth to create a lifelong one-on-one

The golds or the outcomes that I hope will occur as a result of my mentoring relationship are being able to grow no only as a person but also as a professional. Also, I want to be a lifelong person and always have a good attitude and look the positive side of negative situations. Another goal is to show the care that I will have for my mentor by always respecting his point of view. The desirable attributes that I possess is that I have a good sense of humor. However, I am a responsible person and respectful. Also, I am social and I like to converse about anything I like to fill the silence. Also, I am friendly and an easy going person. The ways that I will imply these attributes with my mentor is by always having a smile and have a good attitude.

I have accomplished lots of things in my lifetime. I have accomplished getting a job and getting my license to go to that job. I have accomplished working two jobs one is being a machinist and a referee.

When I was in elementary school I would spend most of the summer setting stuffed animals up on my bed to teach them all the math problems I had learned the previous year in school. In middle school my friends would come over and I'd teach them how to do cool tricks on the trampoline or how to draw bubble letters. Once I was in high school, I had more opportunities to work with children and I took them without hesitation. Since teaching is something I enjoy doing in my freetime I know it's something I would love to do as a career.

I have been working as a messenger since assignment day for just shy of nine weeks. This job has exceeded my expectations by far. On assignment day, when I drew from the bag of jobs, I was extremely nervous. Disappointment ran through me when I pulled the job of ‘Messenger’ out of the hat. I had expected the job to be bland and boring, just running back and forth. But, since I have been on the job for several weeks now, all of those thoughts have been proven wrong. I love the job of Messenger. You get to run around, meet new people, and get to do things that you otherwise would not be able to do. On assignment day I was hoping that I would not end up with any bad job such as Mold Scraper, Pipeworks Laborer, or Trash Sifter. I think that the position of Messenger rates higher than other jobs like the ones that I just listed, because you get to have fresh air and run around instead of plodding around. I mean what could be better than running outside the whole entire day. Some of the responsibilities that you have to endure while being a Messenger would be that you must be quick to deliver your message. One other very important responsibility is

A mentor has played a vast variety of roles in my life, she has been a friend, an advisor and also a support system. She helped me realize my dream of becoming a nurse and encouraged me to take on new challenges and to take risks to get what I want. Additionally, she helped me deal with difficult life challenges, especially in times when I felt like giving up she was there, not to give me a shoulder to cry on but to be the silent support that I needed. The support that I knew will always be with me helping me along as I became an adult. As I become an undergraduate I will have a wide amount of help and mentors available. They will be the people who will provide me with all the resources and information that I will utilize as I began to start

The mentorship program for the spring of 2018 was first sent out in the middle of January 2018. There I send out an email to my mentor the first week. I was then given a reply back from another mentor that I might have gotten the wrong mentor email. I quickly search up my correct mentor and send out the email the second week which is the end of January. My mentor did not reply back to me until the 12th of February. She mentioned that her schedule is variable at United Hospital and she is working that week at the hospital. During that week I have a few exams and thus I emailed her back saying that the following week will be a much better time.

As a child, I never needed anything; I never wanted something that I did get. My father was a decent provider and my mother was a stay mother; however, becoming a parent a young age forces anyone to become an adult and start taking responsibilities.

Every beginning had a charm of its own that makes it unique and unlike any other event that had happened in one's life. In my cause, my beginning in a journey to develop myself as a person and a leader started with the new and final school year as a high school student. As much as it was exciting as much as it was nerve racking. For the first time, I was to become a mentor for a group of people I barely knew anything about. To furthermore my anxiety I was quickly faced with my first challenge which included much of unfortunate luck that was working alone. Upon receiving the news that I was the only mentor for that specific class, I became uneasy. I’ve accepted the offer for becoming a mentor knowing that I’ll be surrounded by a group of people

“Everybody has a Helene Tucker” By dick Gregory in Shame. When I was younger, all I ever wanted to be was a chef; however, as I got older, my career ideas changed drastically. I went through a few other stages before finally discovering that what I truly aspired to be was anything in the field of Medicine. My career choice as a Registered Nurse symbolizes all that I am: my abstraction, my motivation, and my passion.

How many of y’all have ever been in a relationship and things start to get a little shaky which puts your relationship in a bad place. You kind of get scared to really open up on how you feel so now you’re to the point where ready to just give it up thinking everything would be okay and that the grass would be greener on the other side? Well, I have had a situation like that and every time I look back and reflect on it, there’s this one song that always come to mind. It goes a little something like this… “You ain't the girl that you used to be you say you're done, you're moving on this ain't the world that it used to be Looks like you've won” then it goes on to say... “That grass ain't greener on the other side”.

I have been trained to become a chemist since the first year of my high school. This is a challenging career, requiring analytical thinking, attention to details, and adaptability. It is also a well-paying and promising career. However, chemistry is not what I have always dreamt of doing the rest of my life. As someone who is concerned about the development of sub-Saharan Africa, I came to a conclusion that what this region needs is not only scientists but also people who know and understand leadership and international affairs. In this paper, I compare my strengths and abilities to the qualities that one should have in order to excel as a chemist and a diplomat.
