Mentoring Research Paper

Improved Essays
Mentoring is a process of learning through others. It’s been used for many years and now many companies have it as a requirement for their learning programs. It helps a person have a good development and retention of information, it also helps an individual have better interactions with each other. Our visits to El Paso Community College in the mentoring program were helpful and even though the students did not engage with us as much as we hoped for, it helps the mentors figure out ways and try to get others involved.
A mentor is an individual with expertise who can help develop the career or education of a mentee. A mentor often has different goals that they want to achieve by the end of the process. The mentor as a coach provides advice

    Obviously from the source that Windsdor cites is quite some time ago, being in the 20th century itself. Windsdor also goes onto say that the stereotypical mentors that you saw back then and nowadays were pretty much the same, being old wise men/ women. Because we know that both mentor archetypes were similar in the 20th century and today, we can make a connection between the both, safely saying that it hasn’t changed much from even quite some time ago. Windsdor brings up another quote of Vogler’s saying “The Mentor is there to protect the hero and to help him discern between right and wrong. More often than not, the Mentor is teaching the hero lessons he has learned from his own experience.…

    Ariyonna Underwood As one ages, one starts to become their own person, figuring things out for oneself and becoming more independent. But as for me, I was a very shy, quiet, and stay-to-myself kind of person. I didn’t like being around a lot of people or just doing nothing. When times got hard I would listen to my music and just be in my own little world. I would bottle up all my emotions and not tell anybody anything.…

    Mentorship plays such an important role in all of our lives regardless of vocation and interests. Delving into history we see how many of the renowned innovators, actors, politicians, and business leaders were mentored during some stage of their lives. I can recall the names of a few mentor-mentee relationships I became aware of over time - Plato mentored by Socrates - David Letterman mentored by Peter Lassally - Warren Buffet mentored by Benjamin Graham – Steve Jobs mentored by Robert Friedland - Russell Crowe mentored by Tom Sharpin and Bill Gates mentored by Dr. Ed Roberts. Having participated in mentorship at both ends of the spectrum, I know firsthand about its benefits, which include maturity, focus, diligence, accountability and sustained…

    The one aspect I found interesting of the reading was when it talked about “mentoring on the run”. What I found interesting about mentoring on the run was the fact that mentoring does not necessarily mean occurring in a formal, one-to-one matching program. Rather, mentoring can happen on an everyday basis by surrounding students with a “community of mentors” all of whom are linked in an informal network or web…

    I am learning through experience by being a ULN Mentor for the UT class of 2020 and keeping a full time job as an overnight hotel receptionist. In one I am learning how to treat people, manage my time, and commit, while as a mentor I am working on understanding and guiding leaders of the same age as me. From the first two weeks of being a mentor, I learned that it is difficult to mentor people that are relatively close to your own age. However, it's interesting and shocking when they take your advice or learn from your mistakes, and it’s very rewarding when they tell you how their week went and how a simple suggestions got them through a situation.…

    I originally thought that by just being there for someone you were a mentor. I now know through this program that mentoring involves giving both tools and advice to effectively help your mentee. The relationship with a mentee is somewhat different than a relationship between friends. There is a sort of bond that occurs from helping the student but the student holds you to higher standards than a friend would. I am excited about mentoring next semester because I want to hone my mentoring skills even further be able to help my mentees in a more effective way.…
