My interest in the becoming a HLT mentor stems mainly from being connected to strong mentors throughout the Honors curriculum. Each of my HLT mentors contributed greatly to my success at Kelley, and I feel obligated and would welcome the opportunity to give back to the Kelley Honor’s class below me.

I read more about it online to find out exactly who they offer wishes to and read that they actually granted wishes for more than 14,000 children. That is such a significant number but it was only half of the eligible applicants. There is a need for this organization and I feel it brings hope to the child and their…

Personally, I have always thought teachers were inspiring and enthusiastic people, recently I have learned not everyone agrees with this statement.

I have also learned, a lot of these viewpoints come from the media by over exaggerating a teacher’s role or not giving them enough credit. Teachers in the media are portrayed differently than actual…
