Towson's SAGE Program Analysis

Decent Essays
I’ve been member of SAGE since my freshman year both as a mentee and now as a mentor. The experiences I’ve had for the past two years with SAGE have been distinct. When I first came to Towson I was worried about not making a good transition from high school to college both academically and socially. So when I received a call from Raft to live on the residential floor I was excited for the opportunity. This first week I had with SAGE helped easy my anxiety about living away from home and not getting lost in the excitement of being independent.

    One organization that resembles Gamara Program is Chrysalis, which is based in California and creates a pathway to self-sufficiency for low-income people and the homeless through provision of the resources and support crucial in finding and retaining employment.

    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…

    As I grew up in a first generation immigrant family, I did not have the guidance towards a higher education because both of my parents did not have the opportunity. My parents would tell me to go to school because it was the main reason they left the comfort of their home’s in Mexico. But they did not know that there is a process, requirements, and tuition to be paid in order to attend. Therefore, as I strive to accomplish to earn my bachelor’s in architecture I relentlessly help friends and classmates in need of guidance with their educational goals with the knowledge that I have obtained from the Puente program, because I personally know how frightening it can be to pursue higher education not having relatives who are there to help.…

    Recently, I had a learning experience from my internship that will help me even more in my pursuit in the field of social work. The day that this event occurred it helped me be able to be the teacher rather than the student to my intern advisors.

This was on a Friday where I had to miss group because I had something to do at school that morning; therefore, I just met my intern advisor later that day at Walmart.…
