Introduction-Summary of Mentor Experience
I have participated in the mentor program for two years and on both occasions I was paired with business owners in the insurance industry. This year was a little different due to his experience level and insight into the world of sales and customer service. Although he did not have an abundance of advice to give about how to get into law school or how to succeed as an attorney, he did give insight on what to do in terms of how to make myself seem more marketable and attributes to develop and work on to stand out from the other candidates for businesses to hire.
Mentor information My mentor is Curt Beckham, a State Farm agent, who owns his own branch. He started as a cold caller for the company, which

I still have about two weeks until I graduate from McNeese State University with my undergraduate degree. I have made preparations for graduate school in the fall. I have been accepted into McNeese Masters of Business Administration program, where I will be taking six hours to get adjusted to the work load in graduate school. I have also applied for a graduate assistant position in the Business department and in the Student Union to help pay for graduate school. My goal is to graduate with my master’s degree with no loans to pay off. I cannot honestly estimate how much time needs to be devoted to studying, but I do know that I will be able to finish the degree plan within a year and a half with the course load increasing after the assessment of the difficulty of the class. If the graduate assistant position is not available, then I will apply for a job at the District Attorney’s office to gain more experience in the legal field like my mentor did in the insurance business. I already have a resume and a cover letter prepared to be sent off to the District Attorney’s office if need be. While working on my master’s, I will be studying for the LSAT, which is the exam to enter into law school. I have already purchased the books and practice exams necessary to start the process. There is a professor on campus that is willing to give assistance with the application process and recommendations. The three schools I am considering are Thurgood Marshall School of Law, University of Houston, and Southern University Law School. The requirements for Thurgood Marshall are a 3.0 GPA, 146 on the LSAT, resume, application, personal letter, and a $55 application fee. The requirements for the University of Houston Law School are at least a 3.5 GPA, 161 on the LSAT, and registration for admission on the LSAC website. Finally, the requirements for Southern University Law School are a 2.85 GPA, 145 on the LSAT, and registration the LSAC
I would appreciate an opportunity to attend your university to help fulfill my aspiration of becoming a eminent sports attorney. Growing up a native Houstonian, I have always been enamored with studying law at the University of Houston knowing of all the prestige it proudly displays. I knew I wanted to be a lawyer, but I didn’t know exactly how I wanted to carve my niche in the legal world.
We will be interweaving the experiences Maxine Clark used in business throughout her career and how those experiences measure within the Career Stage Model as discussed in Chapter 17. Each of the team members will be discussing one of the four stages of the model in depth with many examples not only from Ms. Clark but other corporations as well. Our overall focus for each stage will be in the discussion of mentoring programs. We will provide examples and professional studies that discuss the differences between a formal mentor program or an informal mentor program. Below are the four stages and the team members that will be presenting each.
The path I have taken toward obtaining my Bachelor of Science Degree in Business, Management, and Economics, with a concentration in Marketing, has been different than I expected when I first started college. I started at Brooklyn College at 17-years-old and frankly, I wasn’t ready for it. I struggled to balance an awkward schedule of classes and inconsistent study habits. I never felt completely comfortable there and after two years of performing poorly, I enrolled at Kingsborough Community College. I viewed it as a new start and seized the opportunity. I decided to major in Business Administration; I made the Dean’s List, and saw my grades improve dramatically. After completing 74 total credits, I decided I was ready to return to a four-year-college. I initially considered returning to Brooklyn College but at this time my grandmother had become ill. I applied to the College of Staten Island which was near her home and would make it possible for me to help her out with whatever she needed and attend school locally. This worked out great for my first semester. I carried a 3.47 GPA and decided to major in Business, with a concentration in Marketing. At this time, I was working part-time while in school. But due to certain circumstances, I was forced to obtain a full-time job in addition to other part-time commitment. This made it very difficult for me to enroll in classes as most of the upper-level marketing classes that I needed for graduation were only offered during the day when I would now be working. I enrolled in night and weekend classes for the next two semesters but my grades began to suffer. In the last semester I tried to register at the College of Staten Island, I couldn’t fit the courses I needed into my ever-growing w...
– I am nothing less than prepared and committed to dedicating the time and energy to studying/practicing for long hours and working extremely hard. I am more than willing to take a lighter course load, take time off from working and interning, eliminate all extracurricular activities, and focus solely on producing outstanding results in the program. The reason why I have previously taken a heavy course load is because of the hope that I will one day be accepted as a Fannie Angelos Scholar. With this game plan, I will be able to take a much lighter course load next semester and still be able to graduate on time. I have already had a discussion with my parents and they are willing to support me financially, so there will be no need for employment.

When I found out that I would be a mentor for next year, I knew I would be playing an important role in the lives of the incoming freshmen. Being a mentor for the Luckyday program not only means that one will be helping in the transition from high school, but also impacting the lives of the incoming freshmen. This six-week class has given me insight and a foundation that I could build on to increase my potential to be an effective mentor. I will also incorporate the information and resources that has been given to me in order to help my mentees succeed. During next year, I plan to use my experiences with my mentor, the ten characteristics of servant leadership, and what I have learned in UNV 312 to guide me in assisting my mentees in the transition
Graduate school will be a rigorous and costly endeavor. I plan to prepare for this journey with the same persistence, commitment, focus, and dedication as I did in my undergrad program. The difference will be increased study time. Student loans, family contributions, and my own monetary contributions will be the source of payment for my graduate
Make a list of what is required of you to be accepted, make sure you understand which test are required, have a personal statement ready along with a list of possible individuals that you can use as recommendations. When it is interview time or you’re going to visit the school make sure you’re prepared to ask questions about the program, these questions you ask need to reflect that you’ve done some type of research on your possible
When I was in middle school and through high school a mentor I had was an older man in my community. From this relationship I had someone who was concerned with what I was doing in school, and within the community. I also got the opportunity to learn different skills from him such as woodworking, landscaping, and the chance to further develop my communication skills. These experiences may seem like nothing, but from them I have learned that taking my time helps me produce my best work possible. At the same time I learned many life lessons from my experiences with him as well as his experiences that he shared with me. Still to this day I'm in contact with my mentor, and I'm very thankful for all of the experiences and life lessons that I learned
It’s been close to five years since I received my BA from Mississippi State University and the skills I have gained since then has matured me to a new level. In addition I have gained key time management, leadership, communication and strong ethics skills which will be very beneficial toward pursuing my law degree. I am stronger now and more focused than ever to pursue my dream. I am prepared to take on the rigorous courses at Florida Coastal Law School and become a success story. I am willing to take any route for admission including the AAMPLE program, if necessary.
"Dear Mohnish, I am sorry to inform you that I will not be able to mentor you on your research. Best of luck for your future endeavours." read the email as tears started rolling down my cheeks. This was the thirty-seventh time that my request for mentorship was declined. It was heartbreaking to get rejected by all the people that I had asked for mentorship. Months of hard-work spent formulating the research project and designing the experiments had gone down the drain.
I am unable to work enough hours to pay for my tuition by the due dates. I will have to leave the program February 1st if I cannot raise $1500. I also have one more deadline ... that requires another $1500 due April 1st. If enough people can come together and help, I will graduate in June with a two year associates degree in ministry. I will then move into ministry and finish out a four year degree
Introduction/Goals and Expectations Statement: September 5, 2017, was my first phone call my mentor who is Audrey Caldwell. In our first phone call, we introduced ourselves and then discussed what the mentor program entails. I had asked Audrey where she works and where she lives and learned that she lives in San Francisco. She had mentioned that her first job was in Texas after she graduated from the University of Arizona and she explained that she did not enjoy her job, which is why she transferred to a different job in San Francisco. I then discussed my goals in school and my future career with my mentor.
Educational Goals: Education is extremely important part of my past, present, and future goals. I currently hold an Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design Media. I have found that an A.A.S Degree does not go as far al I originally intended in the Rochester, MN area and furthering my education will be a necessity for my future career goals. Over the past 2 years I have been working on my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at the Minnesota School of Business Rochester campus. I am currently a senior with 3 quarters left before a spring graduation. After a June graduation, I plan on taking a summer quarter break. After summer break I will either continue on at MSB for my Masters in Business Administration with a Minor in Marketing or transferring the University of Minnesota for my Masters in Adult Education. After my Masters Degree is complete I will decide at that time if I wish to continue on and achieve my Ph.D.
