Personal Narrative: Evaluating The Roles Of A Mentor

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

“Oh, my goodness,” “Wasn’t it so funny when Mr. Speranza split his pants in class today?”

Complete an online leadership and management style inventory to discover your leadership style or preference. There are multiple sites available and all are very similar. The free sites are adequate for this assignment. Give examples of situations in which you observed or experienced any of the various styles in clinical. In what ways have they been effective or ineffective for you or for those with whom you have worked? Which style may have been a better approach in the situation?

In the fifth grade at Britton Elementary we had a ballroom class disguised as a mentoring program. Not only did we learn how to salsa and waltz but we also learned how to respect and take in leadership. The guys had to come to the girl and ask her the proper way to dance and the girl had to politely say yes. This is how we started class everyday. In December of 2008 we performed at Rose State College and had a wonderful time.

I was surprised when I learned that I didn’t have only one mentor, but I had three mentors. I was anxious as to who was going to be my mentor and felt scared that I wouldn’t be able to create a connection. One of my mentors had work that day, so I had to arrive a little earlier to have a quick talk. I thought this was going to be my only mentor but it wasn’t. I also, have Dani Barajas and Adrian Camacho as mentors.

I have been in the Marine Corps for roughly three and a half years and throughout that time I have done many things. Most of the things that I have done were with Combat Logistics Battalion 26. For three years, I worked with that unit through work ups and a deployment and I have seen and done many unique things. However, nothing I did with CLB 26 felt fulfilling, but that all changed when I changed units to CLB 8.

I am ecstatic to begin my journey in nursing school. There are a few things one would need to know to determine just how passionate I am. The subjects that make me most excited are people that have inspired me, past experiences with online classes, and the possibility to challenge my mind within the classes I am taking. As I begin to think about elaborating these points I feel enthusiastic for my future. I cannot believe nursing school is finally here!

The last few months I have had the opportunity to share and mentor Mr. Ney Antonio Garcia relating to the Information Technology (IT) field and the United States Army Reserve. Mr. Garcia is a quiet, hardworking and knowledgeable individual.

In taking the only test, I did not take it as seriously as I should have. I have worked in Ohio, Arizona, New York and now Japan in the field of counseling and social work. With those years, I have had the unfortunate opportunity of being a mandated reporter on several occasions.

I had the opportunity of meeting six potential Practice Mentors (PM's) but only one met my criteria in education and leadership that mirrored my qualification and experience. Educators suggest that experiential learning and apprenticeships promote student learning through participation in authentic or real-world activities (Collins, J. & Mowder-Tinney, J., 2012). I have come to realize that mentoring comes in many ways and we must share our talents but also be open to the talents of others.

I have been attending the Key for three years now, and these past three years have been the highlight of my life. In addition, if I didn’t attend this school, my whole life would have unraveled in a negative way. The Key School is a sanctuary for dyslexics; the faculty here teach strategies so you can comprehend practically anything. The Key is a great place for making new friends and discovering unseen talents. My first year attending the Key was in fifth grade; it was extremely difficult to adjust to the Key School environment. My second year in sixth grade was a great year for transitioning to middle school with its complex environment. Finally, this year, seventh grade, is without doubt the best year of them all. In conclusion, the Key School is an amazing place to learn new material, and the Key is the determinator how successful I’m in life.

This semester, we launched with a very strong two-day professional development. While we discussed many, many things during our time together, one of my favorite analogies was thinking of school through the lens of a football team. Given that this is the week of the super bowl (and my Dirtybirds are going to win!) it makes perfect sense to circle back to that analogy.

When I was a child I was always withdrawn and timid. I would always shy away from other people, as well as doing things that would put me in the spotlight. This caused me to have only a select few friends, in turn I took up reading. My favorite of all genres were action and fantasies and eventually books weren't able to contain my wish for such. And so I started going to camp.

Do you believe that your role as a therapist will end at the end of the day or will it be present in your personal life also?

I'm a mentor of Neuroscience and Neurorehabilitation. I have a 3 years’ experience in the field of education, and I think I can deliver the complicated information very simply and very effectively. 80% of my students rated over 3/4 in the final course evaluations, which is considered as a brilliant result. Besides my teaching experience, I also have a solid medical background that will assist me so well in the writing tasks. Moreover, I got many local awards from Cairo University in the Scientific Research
