While this creates a large familial bond, like any family, issues arise when people on all sides find themselves in a situation that requires a decision that might…

individual’s pathway to success is crucially shaped by the class they are born in. Their class background and neighborhoods determine where their children go to school.

These perfect examples are classified as role models for their past experiences, impacts, and…

achievements, but rather their sphere of influence created as a result of music. My senior year of high school served as a rite of passage towards becoming a mature musician. I finally took the initiative to mentor underclassmen; spending time after school to nurture the young talents became a common occurrence. What started off as an innervating task quickly found its way into my hobbies. My decision to mentor students helped carve my legacy within…

This is a necessary relationship for students to have the optimal environment to take classes in. According to the College Student Journal, studies have also shown that peer mentors gained interpersonal skills and experienced individual growth(“Peer Mentors”, par.20).

students are exposed to a high-quality education and more extracurricular activities and AP courses that can teach them valuable knowledge. Again, this problem of limited resources and lack of guidance is present at Azusa High School and it could be due to the fact the district 's spending/student of $9,859 is less than the state average of $10,739 (http://www.publicschoolreview.com/azusa-high-school-profile).

many students graduate high school and attend college. Through the student’s transition from high school to college, the students start to go through a maturation process.

Every student goes…

Before I met my mentor I wasn’t the most outgoing student at my school. I didn’t have a lot of confidence in myself about a lot of things happening in my life.
