My junior year in high school, I became a student mentor in our campus’s peer counseling program. This was an incredibly rewarding experience as I had the opportunity to help freshman students assimilate into our high school dynamic. As a peer mentor, I assisted students with personal problems and mediated issues with teachers in order to maximize their learning experience. I also acted as a role model for my mentees by talking frequently about AP and Honors courses and how to be successful in such programs. I put effort into learning about each individual's interests and goals so that I could expose them to clubs and academic courses that they may appreciate such as the Biomedical Academy or our school’s robotics team.…

In this article, Moerer-Urdahl and Creswell (2004) talk about using a specific type phenomenological approach called transcendental phenomenology for exploring “ripple effect” in a mentoring program for leadership. They believe that transcendental phenomenology represents a set of philosophical assumptions with regard how to organize and analyze phenomenological data. At the core of this specific approach is its systematic and structural way for gathering and dealing with the qualitative data. In the article, they identify steps necessary to do so. The center of the study is the effect of mentors on mentees through the provided leadership mentoring programs.…

Assignment 1: Does peer mentoring improve college freshmen retention rate?

Universities cannot control all factors relating to a student’s decision to not come back as a sophomore; however, they can experiment with ways to assist students who feel lonely or struggle with academics.…

The role of mentors in the activities of an adolescent, whether enriching or corruptive, is pivotal to how they see the world and interact within it. If it is an enriching mentor that is supportive, nurturing and protective, this person is contributing to the social capital and feeding the need to feel wanted. It is easier to emulate a person you admire and trust then it is the opposite. In the case of mentors who lead adolescents towards vices, there are more forceful interactions then the later. The relationship would be almost one sided, the adolescent trying to fill that need to be wanted, and the mentor taking advantage of their lack of knowledge of the world due to their youth.…
