With different activities like the boot camp, I interacted with other mentors and FIP students. Even though I was hesitant about the whole thing the boot camp was so much fun. I really enjoyed hanging out with the other classes and the mentors I am not really used to. It was intense actually I love competition and it was completely competitive.

I hope that towards the end of the semester we have a small gathering where we have fun and give different superlatives throughout the different classes and mentors. I also think that at the end of the year we hold a reunion type event. This will allow us to reconnect again and explain to our former classmates how our second semester is going. I feel as though these would be fun events that the program would enjoy.
As the second semester rolls around the corner, I would love to continue working with Brandon again. I strongly feel that Brandon is indeed a good representation of what a good mentor embodies. I believe that working with him would help and also lead me down a successful path to achieve my dream GPA and overall goals. I strongly recommend others to have him as a mentor, seeing that he is a great one. I can not wait to have him as my mentor for the upcoming

    I met a man my freshman year that the upperclassman swore would change my life. I had a hard time believing that I would grow as close to Mr. Kauffman, who was my student council advisor and physics teacher, as much as so many people already had. I quickly discovered that my gut instinct was far from true. Throughout high school, Mr. Kauffman recognized my potential, and encouraged the development of my confidence and leadership. Our bond grew as I began to feel the pressure of academics, athletics, student council, and work.…

    With the new school year starting so does the ARP program. Although the program has only been running for one whole week i find myself remembering much of what has been covered during my time in both the ATP and ARP last year. Primarily looking over the syllabus there is a great deal of overlay in terms of the workshops and expectations. However, regardless of the limited time spent in the program this semester the differences are blatantly obvious primarily to prior knowledge i possess when starting the semester. Of course, not to forget new first for me a classmate freely and openly drinking alcohol during class.…

    My academic advisor is Mr. Harrison. Mr. Harrison is my guidance counselor and he helps me navigate through many things during my college experience, for example when I get very anxious about being so young and in high school and college he always has words of inspiration. He let all of us (the students) know that he chose us for a reason and that we can do anything that we try hard enough for. Having a good relationship with him will be great so that he can get to know me personally and put me into the classes that I need to take to get where I need to be long term, and his motivation.…

    In less than one semester, I have met Mr. Lorenzi, my AP Language teacher. I was very nervous joining the class, because I joined the class two weeks later than the other students. By the second day, I finally asked a question and Mr. Lorenzi went on to spend around 30 minutes on an impromptu class debate. He finished off the day saying that he loves when we ask questions, and it was the first time that I had ever felt a connection with a teacher and felt that they truly did like our questions as students. English has always been my least favorite core class, because I felt like it was boring compared to classes in the STEM field.…

    Working with my classmate, Spencer, was helpful at the beginning of my abstinence journey. He had asked about how my abstinence was going at first. It was helpful at the beginning because the initial period is always the hardest period to relapse and it made me report my abstinence journey to someone. It helped in that I held myself more accountable that I had to recount my eating patterns and felt more obligated to abstain. Then it progressively decreased until none existent.…
