Statement Of Purpose: My ACE Mentor

Mentors are influential, senior organizational members with advanced experience and knowledge committed to providing perception to a mentee’s career development. A mentor supports a mentee’s views of self within a work role as well as it supports the mentor’s sense of self for the valuable wisdom and experience they have to share.

The mentors I had within each engagement area helped me to grow as an academic student and a future young professional. Dr. Cormier and Dr. Park served as my mentors during my Research Engagement Area and Director Gibson and Ms. Yon who were my mentors for both my Internship and Service

According to an article by Deb Peterson “Mentors provide heroes with motivation, inspiration, guidance, training, and gifts for the journey. Their gifts often come in the form of information or gadgets that come in handy later. Mentors seem inspired by divine wisdom; they are the voice of a god. They stand for the hero’s highest aspirations” (Peterson). Judging from this information I can infer that the mentor archetype is someone who dedicates their time to others to helping others reach their full potential. They will provide wisdom and teaching to their student. The mentor is an important part in a story because they are the ones who inspire their students to become better at what they do and without them the student would not be able to accomplish their final

In life, we all have a mentor who looks out for us. A figure that stands out and serves as a foundation for how our future ends up. Mentors can be our closest relatives, our best friends, or even people that we’ve never met, just those who stand out to us. Mentors teach us principles that they want us to follow and think is best. They mold us with their knowledge and shape us into people that they want us to be.

mentor was being able to have the opportunity to guide others that needed help or just wanted to talk to someone that has more experience. My first year of college was an emotional roller coaster because I did not feel adequate nor accepted at my university. However, with the help of my resident assistant and B.E.S.T. mentor, I was able to survive my freshman year, as well as develop lasting

For this project my mentor will be mrs. Lourdes, she used to babysit me when I was little. She lives in Mexico and I had lost her phone number, therefore I had to do some investigation before I could contact her, but it was worth it. Her husband died when her children were very little but she kept going and gave all her four children a career. She paid for all their school supplies and believe me it was not an easy task, and she was always characterized for having a smile on her face and her willingness to help others

Population(s) Served: 200-250 Academically at Risk Incoming Freshman. Majority being 1st generation, non-white, and/or low-income, though not exclusive to or intentionally targeting these sub-groups. (Based on predictive data modeling, excluding athletes and those admitted to special scholarship programs or learning communities.)

As a member of Latino American Mentorship Program I hope to gain opportunities that were not previously available to me. As a mentor, I hope to hone my leadership skills. I want to be able to pass on what I have learned to help a new generation. That is why I am becoming a teacher. Being a part of LAMP will improve my communication skills, allow me to interact and learn from my mentees, and most importantly how to lead.

The biggest challenge for my mentor has been getting her students to engage in the activities and to reciprocate what they’ve learned so far. Her sped student is not getting the help he needs at home to further his education, which pushes him behind in class. He doesn’t do anything that she sends him home with because he has no one there to sit him down and do it. It is still a challenge because his mom refuses to get him help, so he’s not getting the attention he

“If life always went according to plan, we wouldn’t have met each other.” This may sound like a line from a romantic comedy, but this is actually a phrase said to me by my mentor, Leah Thompson. Besides inspiring me to continue my education in the highest degree possible, Leah has also empowered me to take risks in my life that have ultimately allowed me to achieve positions I never believed I could hold.

Being an executive mentor would be a great opportunity for my leadership skills to shine. I would love to be able to help the mentors just as much as the freshmen. I feel that being an executive mentor would allow me to inspire the new mentors, so I can help them be better leaders and helpers in this new school year.

By the time I complete my degree, I hope to gain enough influential supporters to be willing to assist me in my quest to finding innovative solutions for improving the current unsatisfactory living conditions on the reservations. Most importantly, I want to be a major voice in criminal justice reform and improvement. My overall vision for the future is to be a leader in effecting major improvements to reservation life so that American Indians can enjoy and embrace their customs and culture without the confines of illiteracy, extreme poverty, and poor

My vision is to come out of my comfort zone and began to witness the love of God to other people, specifically younger women and their children. When it comes to mentoring, I am a person who is very laid back, and not much of a upfront type of person. In order words, I have not gotten to the point where I would just straight come out and talk to someone, but when the Holy Spirit leads me to talk to someone to talk to, I will. My mentor meets no strangers, and when I am with her, she encourages me talk to people, and gives me the wisdom on what to say, and how to say the right words. I know one day with the help of the Lord and the eagerness to mentor younger women the time will be just right. I will take the advice given to me and mentor women

Mentorships also allow you to continue building your portfolio, fine-tuning your skills, and networking. As you continue to network, your chances for success continue to expand. Mentorships are great opportunities to gain more exposure and find your designs in places you wouldn’t have even
