Recommended: Communication friendship

One person in my life who has been a mentor to me is my friend Jason. There are multiple reasons why I say him as my mentor, and not something generic like my parents. One of the biggest reasons he’s my mentor is because he isn't afraid of what other people think of him at all. He still cares about what the people around him think about it, but it doesn't bother him if people have a negative opinion of him. I think that this is a very important life lesson that all people eventually learn, and he was the one who helped me understand that. Another reason why he is my mentor is because he considers everyone his friend no matter what. He taught me the ability to not judge people before you talk to them at all. Everyone is completely natural to

  • Mike Rose's Lives on the Boundary

    1580 Words  | 4 Pages

    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.

    The role of the mentor is to “protect the main character,” (Literary Devices, 4) and “through the wise advice and training of [the] mentor … the main character achieves success” (Literary Devices, 4). The mentor is as important to the story as the main character and is often a critical part of the hero accomplishing his quest. Some examples of the mentor are Yoda from Star Wars, Atticus from to Kill a Mockingbird, and Hagrid from the Harry Potter series. In many situations, the mentor is such an effective teacher because they themselves have at one point been in the hero's position. The are able to teach the hero how to defeat a dragon because they once conquered one themselves; they can help the hero overthrow the king because they once dethroned a ruler.

  • Mentor Interview Paper

    Tuesday at 10:00a.m., I interviewed with Dr. Ann Griffith about becoming my research mentor and working in her lab. As a potential mentor, Dr. Griffith seems to be prefect in compatibility. She has a great personality and seems to really understand my concerns and schedule. I may bond better with her because she is a woman and she understands a lot of the struggles women endure every day, especially working mothers. She has several publications, one for instance: “Metabolic Damage and Premature Thymus Aging Causes by Stromal Catalase Deficiency”. This paper really gives good insight into understanding the lab’s interest and where I may possible fit into the balance. In the course of our meeting, I was better able to assess Dr. Griffith as my potential mentor based on these aspects and other informative topics from our discussion that would personally affect me the most.

    In The Professor’s House, understanding character, a person presented in a dramatic or narrative work, will better help understand the relationship between Tom and the Professor. Understanding the characters Tom and the Professor will help show how their relationship is a little different than most other relationships in the book. With that, it will help show that Tom and the Professor’s relationship can be viewed as somewhat queer. To start off, Tom was not fully heterosexual. Based off of Tom’s diary, the following passage shows what Mrs. St. Peter gained from the diary about Tom, “Of course Mrs. St. Peter had insisted that he was not altogether straightforward; but that was merely because he was not altogether consistent.”

    Coming into my senior year I was very anxious and ready to get it over with. Everyone kept telling me that it was going to be the easiest year of high school, but I completely disagree. I would not say it was my hardest, but most definitely not the easiest, I did enjoy it though. It was very fun during the whole year, but once it came down to the last three or two months I began to give up. I was so ready for it to be over, and the more anxious I was the slower it seemed to get here. Unfortunately, I missed the main things that really mattered this year, like my cap and gown fitting, my last year book picture; all because I did not want to come to school this year. I really did not see no point in coming since I only needed two more credits to graduate, but in the 3rd quarter my
