Journal #11 Reflections on Mentoring 1. What three people have been the closest things to mentors in your life thus far? Using the lectures as a starting point, what would you say have been the things that each of these people has done well in mentoring you? If you don’t feel like you’ve had anyone that really counts as a mentor, can you think of anyone in your life right now that you would want to mentor you, if the opportunity arouse? Why that person? Someone in my life that I would want to mentor me would be my boyfriend, Darell. He would make a good mentor because he’s put in time to actually understand me and get to know who I am as a person. Since we are really close, I’m able to handle his constructive criticism better. He is someone who has always encouraged me and stayed with me even when I showed my flaws. Although I’m almost a few months older than him, he is very wise and he’s always pointing out what he knows I can do and he is just helping me become a better person. 2. If someone asked you to explain what your vision for the future looked like, what would you say? What would you like to see realized as a result of your life that does not currently exist? …show more content…

I see myself working somewhere in the medical field or in a career where I get the opportunity to help people on a regular basis. My vision of my future involves me being more confident and optimistic and able to tackle whatever life throws in front of me. As a result of my life what I would like to see realized that currently does not exist is my potential to do anything no matter hard it is because at times I tend to be discouraged of what I think I can’t

    Much like Mike, I have had some amazing academic mentors that were not afraid to get down in the trenches with me and ask what I was trying to say. I had Ms. Lewis my freshmen year of high school, she would sit down with me and rip apart my paper and rework it as necessary. During my senior year of high school, I had the privilege of taking a U.W. English class that was a seminar format where the instructor would frequently conference with us, and he gave me the tools to continue my education. However, something we all need to remember, especially at PLU, is to not be afraid to be a mentor to someone else. In life, we are all teachers. We tell one another our stories, and by doing that we are teaching them what it is like to look at the world through our lens.

  • Essay On Coaching And Mentoring

    1105 Words  | 3 Pages

    Coaching and mentoring is a constant process that occurs all throughout a future teacher’s journey. While attending a university, it is common while in the teacher preparation program to undergo several coaching sessions and mentoring periods, which is great! Normally this continues through the first year of teaching, but something happens after that first year. If a relationship isn’t built, encouraged, and made intentional, the coaching stops. For teachers, this is strange. We are taught to constantly coach, encourage, mentor, and teach our students, but when it comes to our peers, those under us, etc., we assume that each teacher has suddenly “made it” as if someone who can make it through their first year is automatically “good to go” and will not encounter any hiccups along the way to becoming a veteran. In some instances, the teaching community is a selfish profession for the fact that you do what needs to be done for you and the students you serve, but not for your peers. You do not share your lessons, ideas, concerns, etc. Some teachers are still under the impression that if they are struggling, they are doing it wrong or they are not a “good” teacher. This is a fallacy that needs to be talked about. There is a reason that peer coaching

    I’ve learned over the years that while creating opportunities for myself is exciting, being able to create opportunities for others is even more exhilarating and rewarding. I remember striking up a conversation with classmates who were frustrated by the lack of support my school offered for their STEM fair projects. That day, I left school with one thing on my mind: if there were no mentorship opportunities for my peers, I would create one. In the following weeks, I formed a volunteer club that helped other students through their experimental design, acquired necessary testing equipment, and coached them through an oral presentation. For me, it was fulfilling to know that my peers were getting the opportunity to create and improve their science fair ideas.

    Often times as counselors we sacrifice our own health and wellbeing in order to care for others. Personally I strive to keep my own lights bright by interacting with friends and family, fellowshipping at church, and resting. In the past I have called my parents, spent time with my youth group, and lounged around the house while watching a good movie. All of these seem to minimize the amounts of stress that I have and put my mind ease. In order for us as counselors to help others I truly believe that we must first take care of ourselves.
