“3 A’s: Attitude, Attendance, and Achievement,” are the pillars that built my relationship with my mentor, Mr. Bass. Since middle school, he had mentored me to this day. He enlightened me about my surroundings and showed me that there is a world outside my little community. His continued presence in my life filled in that hole that I could step on as he prepared me for high school. During this time, my vision for the future was now filled with hope and the weight of the fears on my shoulders became my foundation where I would rise from adversity to accomplishment. Taking that step towards high school, an important part in my life was Community Action for Teens. This organization has allowed me to work together with youths to learn and develop leadership skills in order to make a difference in our lives, families, schools and communities. We became advocates against challenging issues that trouble young people our age, namely alcohol and tobacco use. We also participated in numerous community service projects aimed at building appreciation and respect for the community, and fostered leadership development and community service skills. Thanks to this support group, I feel more prepared after high school. …show more content…
It is amazing to have the privilege to know everybody on campus by the time I graduate in two years. The student body and my professors will get to know me extremely well. This will allow me to form great relationships with them as I head onward in life. There is room for me to join in and contribute to a
As many people have told me before, it is a very different ballgame than middle school’s easy going years. There is much more work, the classes are harder, and the environment is completely different. Many people’s grades may slip and they may cower in fear at the barrage of assignments they receive class after class. Unlike other people, I am confident in my ability to excel at all classes and to sustain exemplary grades. Therefore, while many are trembling in fear at the prodigious assignments and work is bombarding them from all angles, I will be at ease, knowing that whatever obstacle is thrown my way, I will conquer it and be its own

I will definitely enjoy the independence of campus life. The camaraderie, which will develop, should only add to the college experience. The courses will be challenging but I am willing to do what it takes to achieve my ultimate goal, which was alluded to earlier. The untapped potential is there. I would like to be given the opportunity to show what I can accomplish.

However, she learned an important life lesson that will enhance success her in life.
I learned a lot in this class and job that if your mentor or boss is not prepared the people below them will not be prepared. The first thing we did on day one was go view three or four houses to check if they had been staged yet (staging a home is the act of preparing a private residence for sale in the real estate marketplace. The goal of staging is to make a home appealing to the highest number of potential buyers, thereby selling a property more swiftly and for more money) (google.com). Then we showed two houses to a client. After lunch we talked more about what I wanted from this experience or what I hoped to learn from her about real estate.
Hello, fellow students... Is it just me or has these 4 years passed by really fast? I can’t believe that we’re already 18 or 19 years old, it feels like yesterday was the first day of highschool! As y’all know, every journey comes with obstacles and my biggest was probably my economic circumstances, I always wanted to go to university and study space.
During high school, as a member of National Honors Society, I would sign up for multiple opportunities to help district schools, libraries, dinners, organizations, and holiday events within the community, which built my leadership qualities.
My experiences during my time at Woonsocket High School and the Woonsocket-Area Career and Technical Center has helped me in many ways in learning new things or creating personal experiences that will help me understand certain things better. My high school education has contributed to my personal growth because it helped me realize who I was by my past experiences. It has helped me learn how to interact with others, to give them respect, how to provide knowledge in order to enlighten someone or to state my own opinion and to learn how to be myself. It has also enhanced my sense of community because the National honors Society at the Woonsocket High School has taught me to help the community. Volleyball and other clubs have also taught me
Throughout High School many of the activities I have done helped me grow as a person. One experience that had a thorough impact on me is band. Going into high school band as a freshman I had no idea what to expect. At my High School, Oak Creek High School, our band works very hard. During marching band season in the summer we have copious amounts of practices a week, from 5:30 to 9:30 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday and from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on Saturdays.
Four years ago I sat on the back patio of my mentors home. It was a cool October night and we were enjoying a nice Imperial Stout, seated next to the fire pit, catching up on life and what the Lord was teaching us. During the conversation I was challenge by a mentor to ask myself, “What is my vision for my professional future?” This came about after several months of obvious disconnect regarding my role as a Project Manager for a small Class A general contracting company. My initial reaction was to respond with a half-hearted, empty excuse, that would greater explain my mentors concern.
My High School life has helped shape the way for my college experiences that I will face. My senior year in high school is not the same as many other high school students. I am taking many advanced classes to help me prepare for college. These classes help me better understand exactly how much harder I must work to succeed.
I participated in cheerleading, track & field, beta club, and technology club. When those activities were over or did not meet, I just went home and watched tv and get ready for the next day. In High school, I attended Washington County High. This was the time of my life, where I tried to figure out what I wanted to do after High school.
In life in order to grow one must be influenced by the people surrounding them among friends, family, teachers and co workers and celebrities and everyone at least one person who they admire is very important in a young person's life to have a mentor or role model someone who they can look up too and learn from. The majority of adolescents will claim that their role model is a celebrity. If you were to ask me a year who my role model was I would give you a celebrity in response but this past year I realize that my role model was one of my greatest mentors. Growing up I never really cared about school , I saw it more as a socialize and I always felt bad for the teachers because they were stuck in that one place I couldn’t wait to get out
JOURNAL # 3 MENTORING 1) What has gone well in my mentoring experience? I have a wonderful experience on the Acute and Chronic Lab at Archbold Memorial Hospital. Students involved me in the care of their assigned patients for the day in order to obtain patient focused care experience and clinical knowledge.
In my opinion, I was not the average high school student; I was not concerned with popularity or hanging out with the "cool crowd." Instead, I was focused on doing well academically. On Friday night, when social media was flooded with all my "friends" check-in's, I was usually home working on a school assignment or working a late shift at my job. My past experiences in high school and at work helped me remain motivated and positive; they also helped me become more independent. I plan to help other students acquire the traits that I have so that they can remain focused on their school work.
