Personal Narrative: My Experience As A Mentor

Decent Essays
In 2013-2014, I was the leader of the tutoring and mentoring organizations within my high school. As a tutor, I volunteered at a local elementary school, helping young students with their homework and projects. I also was a mentor to younger students in my high school, aiding them in their transition by giving them study tips and introducing them to the wide range of extracurricular activities. These roles allowed me realize my passion for helping people and cultivate the interpersonal skills I needed for nursing. In 2014 until now, I am involved in the Canadian Nurses Student Association, which is the national voice for Canadian student nurses. We are responsible for a number of projects within the college. Most recently, I took part in organizing

    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.…

    Everyone can say that they always imagined or wanted to look up to someone whether if the person was famous or related to them.

    My favorite job by far has been my internship as a career mentor in the Office of Career Development at my school. As a career mentor, my primary duties are to help students with resume/cover letters, job/internship search and just general life goals questions. This internship has made realize why I love working with students. It’s such a great feeling when a student comes and they may be confused about their major or how to make a resume for a job; but by the end of the your time with them, you just see this light bulb go off in their head and they have this look of “I understand”. Even though it may be a very small interaction, I feel like I have made a small difference in their lives and I have helped them somehow.…

    At times I think it’s often quite normal for new teachers to become overwhelmed their first year teaching. Especially at a school where there may not be enough resources to adequately assist them, this leaves many new teachers to fend for themselves. In my experience, it was my mentors that made a difference in my career, and prompted me to pay it forward and it is these mentors that I try to emulate in my own mentoring. A mentor serves as a professional role model for the mentee.…

I've done the mentoring program now for around five years. For the past four years I've had the same student and we have grown very close. She is from Hawaii, so she did not know very many people when she moved here.…

    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. I will document this information on my e-Portfolio on ‘Mme Moe’ to…
