Next I stopped by the Finding a Mentor tables and met with Ian Pineda. We talked for a few minutes about what a mentor is, and what a mentor mentee relationship is like. We chatted about my current internship and the internship that I will be participating in next semester, and what I would like to do after graduation. We also discussed his career in the social work field and whether or not I had an interest in working in the same area. A few more minutes into our conversation about his mentor position, he offered to be my mentor for next semester. Soon after, I met with Joanna Lazarek to set up an appointment for a RAMP info session, the first step to getting a mentor.

    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.…

    I interviewed Jerry, Faith Green, Paul, Ms.Darshan, and Mr. Hanke. They were all very helpful because Faith and Jerry were IPoly students and I felt that I could really relate to them because I still haven't decided what I'm going to be. Ms. Darshan explained to us that we need to be responsible for our selves and that some textbook prices vary because they all cost a lot. Paul gave us advice in if we weren't sure what we are going to do we should find a common class that the careers I want to pursue have in common. Mr. Hanke told us that we need to stay focused in school because some people who try different things and don't get into it change who they want to be very quickly.…

    During my internship experience, I learned a lot of things that I thought I knew but are misconstrued on. With that being said, I know everything must be done in decent order or this will cause chaos and lead to confusion. I also learned everything takes patience and is very time- consuming. I became frustrated, so many times and just wanted to give up, but I had to remind myself that hard times are going to come and everything is going to work out. Many times I sat on my bed crying because it seems like everything piled on me at one time.…

    Building a positive relationship with a mentor teacher has a positive impact on an early career teacher’s sense of personal resilience. Mentor teachers can provide a wealth of knowledge for pre-service teachers, like myself, as well as early career teachers (TeacherFeature AITSL, 12 August, 2012). This knowledge can be applied for managing challenging behaviour, designing lesson plans, or simply discussing ways to effectively assess students. On my practicum placement, I will be collaborating with my mentor teacher to discuss their perspectives on assessment, which assessment strategies they have already implemented this year, along with the effectiveness of these thus far.

We had to win the next couple of games so that we would not get relegated into the lower division. Staying in the league, that we were still in, would have been a big and important success for many players, the whole club and the coach. Unfortunately, I got injured before the upcoming game.…
