My Mentor Research Paper

Having a mentor in your life plays a very important role. Without a mentor, I wouldn’t know rather i’m doing something right, or doing something wrong. Your mentor should be someone you can count on, or someone who has helped you a lot throughout your life. Someone who is positive, and someone who is helpful. You should be able to work with and accept the advice your mentor give you. I’ve learned throughout the years so many things from the advice of Mrs. Williams. Mrs. Williams taught me how to better myself and step up and be a bigger person. She also taught me how to make my own decisions and stop letting other people live my life for me. This was a very helpful tip for me, because I woke up to reality.

    Until this year, I never really saw the importance of having a mentor, and I think this is because I rejected the idea of being completely vulnerable with another person. Although, this section in MacDonald’s book really brought into perspective that as a leader without someone wiser than myself, I will not be “sharpened” or in other words, I will not grow in my faith the way I wish to. A mentor who is not afraid to be honest, and call me out on my wrongs, but also recognize my strengths is important. Specifically, I find my mentor quick to call me out when she feels I am not being fully honest (which is a lot), and I need that. I have began to think how hard life would be without her by my side, and I thank God everyday for bringing her into my life.…

    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…

    It will also help me become aware that although challenges will arise, I can overcome them if I handle the situation appropriately. My ideal mentor would not only be willing to help me in that situation but would also follow up after some time to make sure I was able to solve the problem. I also want my mentor to know me on a personal level. They should know my current and future goals in life and should care about them as much as I do so that they can help me stay on the right track. All in all, I want my mentor to provide an exceptional learning experience for me and, in doing so, allow me to gain more awareness, insight, and perspective.…
