Mentoring Reflection Paper

The education and career mentoring program is a program that Misscha Tacchia created. The project includes high school seniors mentoring the high school freshman. Second part of the program is when adults who have become successful, mentor the high school seniors on what comes after high school. The adult mentors gave us some helpful information as to when we have job interviews. My educational and career goals are all planned out.

My experience with mentoring the freshman went pretty well. The freshman that seeked advice on high school from me would be named armando. I already knew him, because my mom is really good friends with his mom since i was a child. It is important to mentor others because some people need to be guided into the right path. Us senior high school students mentoring the freshman can really help them throughout their high school year. Some useful tips we gave the freshman would be to avoid getting bad grades early on. Another tip would be to join as many sports and clubs while they can. The more activities and awards they have throughout their high school year, the better their high school portfolio will end up for senior year.

The themes that stood out the most from the guest speakers would be their most challenging part of their lives. There were three speakers that stood out to me. The first speaker was named Philip Ugalde. Second speaker was named Jon Gagnog. Last speaker that stood out would have to be Kimberly Laurie. Some useful information I took out of the project would be to keep trying, even if you are really struggling throughout your educational or career life. Some similarities that stood out as well would be that most of the speakers graduated or got a degree from Cal State San
