Case Study: Big Brothers Big Sisters Of Toronto
1. Please describe your involvement with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Toronto, including the length of time you been with the agency and what you have gained.

Through the Pumped For Post Secondary mentorship program, I have been involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Toronto for 2 years. I have attended two Pumped For Post Secondary mentorship programs, one located at George Brown College and the other at the University of Toronto, St. George campus. These programs allowed me to learn multiple skills and available options for a student entering post-secondary education. I have gained through the presentations and mentors of Big Brothers and Big Sisters the ability to budget, write a decent resume, properly conduct an interview and stress management. I was encouraged to speak with others and now am able to confidently speak my mind and interact with others more easily than before. This is a massive step from me, because I am a shy person and would get scared of new people as they were strangers to me. Thanks to this program I can now talk to people without the fear of messing up. …show more content…
I learned that although post secondary can be stressful and difficult, there are always people there to support you whenever you ask for help. High school to post secondary is an exciting transition that can be daunting from its newness but it does not have to be terrifying. The mentors being open and welcoming reinforced this fact by sharing their experiences and knowledge. This make me love every person I met; I loved hearing their unique stories and

My guidance counselor, Ms. Hunter, helped me to prepare and offered me the opportunity to enroll in…

    Link Crew Reflection

    There is not a single feeling greater than the one you experience when you make a positive impact on someone else’s life. Thankfully, I was able to experience that in my junior year. My high school has a program called Link Crew that is designed to help alleviate the anxiety of freshmen’s transition in to high school. When I signed up to get involved, I never realized how strongly it would affect not only my life, but also the life of everyone else who came in contact with it one way or another. Junior year was my first year involved in the program. At first, I was not sure if I would be able to handle it because it was a club that required a large time commitment. I was already involved in my advisory board, student council, and also I had been on the varsity softball team for both years prior to my junior year, along with working anywhere from three to five days a week. It was a very busy time in my life for a while, but I soon came to realize that Link Crew was completely worth it once I started seeing the effect it had on my school.…

    Reflective Essay On Clinical Psychology

    Within a day of familiarising ourselves with each other, my group and I went gorge walking which greatly differed to my daily life; the entire experience allowed me to branch out of my comfort zone and acquire a new outlook on life. As a result of this, I became more sociable and confident which strengthened my public speaking skills when presenting to a large audience. My work experience in a nursery developed my understanding of a younger age range which allowed me to become a more responsible and adaptable individual. Additionally, I helped organise and participated in Christmas events in local care homes to increase community spirit, enabling me to further improve my leadership and responsibility…
