Personal Mentor Report

The mentor I have chosen is Jane Stanley. Ms. Stanley was influenced by the stories of her grandfather to become a nurse. She was unsure if she could do it at first because she did not think she was smart enough, but she began to love it. While Ms.Stanley was attending school she came across what she thought was an obstacle. She was five months pregnant and ready to drop out of school, but with the encouragement of her husband she did not give up. She graduated and could not be more grateful for the strength god had given her.

In 2014, the Lincoln County Resource Board completed an Assessment of Needs (completed by Dr. Cynthia Berry) based on 2007-2013 data. The “Demographics of Lincoln County” section of the report captured statistics on the population and general demographic information, poverty, insurance, unemployment, income, children receiving cash assistance and food stamps, and data on the special needs population. A review of this information reveals the need to continue the Therapeutic Mentoring program to enhance protective factors and facilitate family stability.

Merylin Orris, RDH, BSDH is a former dental hygiene instructor of mine fom the Dental Hygiene program at SPC. She is a part-time dental hygiene clinical instructor at St Petersburg College Dental Hygiene Program. As a dental hygiene instructor, she followed my advancement through the two-year Associate in Dental Hygiene program and provided me with much valuable information and also with technical skills. As a mentor, she introduced me to the responsibilities and the joy of being a clinical instructor. Her passion for teaching and patience toward the students and colleagues captured my attention even before I applied for the bachelor's program. She guided me through the Capstone Practicum experience and was available

I’ve never really thought of myself as having a mentor, I mean yeah I have my family, friends, and all of the people that care for me around me, but when I really think about it Terry would have to be my mentor. Terry has help me through so much! My track career and has made me a better thrower, and a better person. He always gives off a really good vibe and he treats all of his kids like one of his own, and as me coming in as a freshman it really helped not having one awkward moment in this track year because of Terry.

Attached is a completed application for the mentoring program I would like to pursue. Not sure if I have overstepped my boundary, but I have discussed this with my RA, Nick Lalpuis, and he supports the proposal. I also discussed this with Laura Watson this morning and she is in agreement with it as well. Please advise if there are any additional documentation or steps I need to go through to get

I want to be a mentee because the Mentorship program is a fantastic way to familiarize with the school and meeting people with other background. Obviously, as an incoming freshman, I do not know much people, so the Mentorship program as a chance to break the ice and to make connections in school and among peers. Also, I am not familiar with the state of Michigan, so the program also serves as an opportunity to get accustomed with the new environment, the new climate, and the new culture. I was born and raised in Taiwan, and moved to California five years later; I realize the difference from one place to another. Michigan is a whole new place and it is imperative that I learn how to adjust and behave in an appropriate way. Through the program,

The golds or the outcomes that I hope will occur as a result of my mentoring relationship are being able to grow no only as a person but also as a professional. Also, I want to be a lifelong person and always have a good attitude and look the positive side of negative situations. Another goal is to show the care that I will have for my mentor by always respecting his point of view. The desirable attributes that I possess is that I have a good sense of humor. However, I am a responsible person and respectful. Also, I am social and I like to converse about anything I like to fill the silence. Also, I am friendly and an easy going person. The ways that I will imply these attributes with my mentor is by always having a smile and have a good attitude.

The issues I have decided to address are the lack of formal in group mentors and mentorship opportunities available for female students, faculty, and staff of color. The University has been intentional about recruiting students, faculty and staff of color. Despite these efforts our women of color who work as faculty or staff are the few available mentors available for students. Unfortunately, they are burdened with few professional growth opportunities while juggling work, mentorship requests, as well as providing the minority voice on committees throughout the campus. Subsequently, these women do not have in group mentors to support their growth. While some research shows, professionals who have been mentored are more likely to engage in mentoring, this does not seem hold true for women in general, it is especially untrue for women of color (Wright and Wright 1987). Increased professional expectations, distress and demands are likely the reasons for this difference. With all this, it is clear that women of color are at a significant disadvantage for finding mentors on this campus, and in most male dominated fields.

I want to be a mentor because I want to be a support system for a struggling student who feels like they won't be able to succeed due to their current home life or financial status. Furthermore, I feel like I can relate with many of the "at-risk" students because I come from a low income family who couldn't afford to give me all the opportunities like other more fortunate students at my school but made sure I was able to be both successful personally and academically by constantly pushing me to try my hardest. I also want to be give me able to give back and impact my current community in a positive way and in my opinion there is no better way to do that than through giving guidance and advice to children.

There are no preferences for me to work with children of a particular age group group and subject area because I am a well-rounded team player. Through volunteer work I've done with mentorship programs, I've gained much experience teaching children of all age groups many subjects including math, science, social studies, dance, poetry, drama, and creative

I am writing to express my interest on applying for a peer mentor position at the Student Support Service Program. I was enthusiastic to find out that one of the positions opened up when Joyce informed me about it.

The focus of the semester long mentorship was to help students generate their personal statements for college entry. I mentored students on CGCC campus to help them cultivate their personal history and creatively write them on paper. Many students struggled with their past experiences as they stated that they were too young to obtain the amount of time it would take to create an experience. I asked them if they remember their first day of high school, and asked them each to tell the group what they remember. As a result, the students realized that even though they shared the same first experience, those experiences were completely different.

During these short winter days with their few precious hours of daylight, I’m reminded of our PALS Mentors, and the bright lights they have been to those newly diagnosed with breast cancer. After the initial shock of receiving this diagnosis, taking those first tentative steps into this unknown territory requires a sense of trust that the treatment process will lead to better things. Those who have already walked a similar path are in a perfect position to nurture that confidence. Some who are newly diagnosed with this disease will have strong support systems among their families and friends; others go it alone or with minimal support. Wherever a person may lie on the spectrum of support, most derive great benefit and reassurance from conversations with others who have “been there”.

Mentorship is very important in the workplace especially in the area of training and development. The mentor-protégé relationship is a much needed relationship that begins in the early career stage and this relationship involves the current or new employees and the supervisor or other colleagues that provide work-related guidance. The relationship itself is comprehensive and involves “educational, occupational, physical, social, and spiritual development” (Greenhaus,, Callanan, & Godshalk, 2010, p 211). One of the initial task of the early career the establishment of the career field which involves the gaining of the workplace competence, learn what is needed to excel in the organization, and to gain acceptance in the workplace to be recognized as the valued employee. There are many ways of achieving the above mentioned advantages in the workplace which one main method is through the use of the mentorship program.

My soon-to-be boyfriend, Daiwan is my mentor. He’s about 5’10 and brownskin. He has chinky eyes, just like me and a beautiful smile. He’s technically 11 months older than me, but he’s thirsty to say a year. We met over social media, I noticed him via Twitter, he approached me over Instagram. A month later, we started texting and stuff and we became very close, and he’s been helping me every since.
