Personal Narrative: My Mentor Evelyn And Schoolwork

Decent Essays
My mentor Evelyn and I talked about many different topics, but they all had one thing in common: they were all to do with school/schoolwork. At the beginning, she had just came back from helping with pre-advising session, so next semester’s schedules were on her mind as well as mine. We talked through our schedules and found out that we will be in the same Biology lecture and lab. After that I sparked up a small comment about one of my friends and I learned that she lives in the suite next to my friend! I then remembered that I was going to ask her about how strict the room inspections are, and she made me feel at ease by saying her RA literally just took a glance and passed her in about a minute. Then, getting back to the topic of schoolwork,

    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.…

With very little studying I was able to maintain high grades. In middle school I was put in advance math classes and it still wasn't a challenge but then in my junior year of high school things started to get difficult.…

    Kathleen Gregg sits on the couch straight faced as usual, probably already thinking of what she will say before I ask a single question. She answers almost every question, more like she was writing it, not saying it, with an indifferent tone. Her high school experience was divided, on one side there was the small desert town, and on the other was the rich sophisticated San Diego suburb. Basically the exact opposite of each other , unknowing of the other.…

    Everyone can say that they always imagined or wanted to look up to someone whether if the person was famous or related to them. Throughout my teenage day I’ve always wanted someone to mentor me and show me things in life that I can one day use in the future years to come. I didn’t want a mentor that was a few years older I always wanted someone that was almost twice my age, maybe even older than me. My mentor that I will be talking about name is James. James and I met at my job throughout my time working there I have worked with many managers.…

    In 2006, I began my journey at The Valley School as a first grade student. Moving over from my previous school, which I had attended from the time I was three until I was six years old, was fairly smooth. I had friends who made the switch with me and, being the social butterfly I was, making new friends was a breeze. In the first few years as a student, I saw Valley move into three buildings.…

    An experience that displayed my ability to mentor was during my time helping out at Columbus Elementary School. There was one boy named Presley and he had trouble focusing, so I often ended up at his table trying to draw his attention away from his peers and towards his work. He was struggling with math, subtraction specifically and heavily relied on finger counting to do any problem. After about two weeks doing number lines and tally marks, he greatly improved and no longer needed any help for simpler subtraction.…

    My time at St. Cecilia school is never going to be forgotten. St. Cecilia has shaped me to be the person I am today spiritually, academically, and my friendships with other people. The theme of this year was living our strengths through service. I think this means that God has given us all a talent and we have to serve others through it. St. Cecilia gives many opportunities to do so.…

    Everyone has their own kind of sacrifices for better or worse. Sometimes we offer these sacrifices as a means to provide protection or some ray of hope. Tutors are known to be educated in whatever subject they tutor in as well as being extremely patient. Though some do it for free or may charge a fee, it always comes down to how much effort they put into each session and ultimately the result. I remember a particular event during sophomore year of high school, I offered to tutor a young freshman girl named Misha.…

    My parents have said to work hard and do my best in school. I never understood why until I got older. The reason they told me to do my best in school was because they wanted me to think about school and my future. Both of my parents didn't get the chance to go to college. They both came to the United States looking for what most people come to the United States for ‘The American Dream’, they wanted a place where they could raise their children and find a stable job.…

    With rain ferociously pounding the roof of our vehicle and sharp bolts of lightning illuminating the sky, we bounced along as the primitive roads struggled to maintain their shape. The six-hour drive was not much of a warm welcome to the country—weaving through the severely impoverished urban areas near the airport, then tossing its passengers about in a tropical thunderstorm. While our van climbed to the Haitian central plateau and several of my team member’s stomachs surged with motion sickness, mine fluttered in anticipation of the coming weeks. Upon arrival at the United Christians International compound in the Caiman area of Haiti, I instantly remembered the overwhelming peace I felt two years prior.…

    Being a high school student is composed of restless nights, and eight exhausting hours of classes in which you are obligated to stay awake in. A normal school day begins with me snoozing my alarm about ten times before my dad walks into my room telling me the dreaded “time to get up for school” reminder which I just take as a suggestion. Normally I will drag myself into the bathroom about ten minutes later to begin my routine. I spend about 40 minutes in the bathroom preparing myself for school and by the time I am done it is usually time to grab all of my things and barely catch the bus. Now this has to be my least favorite part of the day.…

    I remember when I was 5, the first time I went to a building daily for 8 hours. I sat down on the cold blue chair. In front of me was a bin of crayons, all the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. I remember sitting in the cold room and having the freedom to draw marks on my blank sheet of paper. The dye scratching against the table, colors spreading across the canvas like the sun, rising in the early morning.…
