The role of the mentor is to provide guidance and support through a nurturing relationship mentor and protégée relationship, by giving time, being available, maintaining communication, keeping promises, being understanding, listening, providing support while acknowledging limitations and mistakes, with humor and gifts, and especially talking about race/ethnicity and culture. (Chan, 1986) After completion of the LEALES program mentees will be recruited and encouraged to participate as mentors the following year as a way to pay it forward to the next generation of Latino males.…

I wanted to let you know that because I was treated poorly at your Willoughby location, I went to your Mentor location and received the best service ever. I went into your Willoughby store where 3 employees were talking among themselves for a good 15 minutes before I was even acknowledged. When I requested a phone to add to our company plan I was informed that they did not have any at this store but no other option was offered. I left in frustration. This is a common occurrence…
Although, this is the first time applying to the Adelante Peer Mentor program there is a belief that there is a fulfillment that can be achieved through the mentor to the first year student structure. This program enables one to obtain personal growth through assisting a first year college student. Providing guidance to an individual as they transition into college is essential in preparing and setting them in the right path, which is the ultimate objective for anyone. There is a lot to offer to a first year student and with the proper guidance any student is capable of reaching their potential. Lastly, I have the time as well as the apprehension to aid in…
What have mentors done in my life to allow me to get to where I am today. In todays class assignment I understood what most of my mentors have done in my life. Throughout my existence I have had many people to help me continue on my journey as I went thru many test and trials. As I have had troubles with getting thru school with classes, students life, and motivation. One of my mentors would always be available to lend a helping hand to move on. My parents, siblings, family, and family friends have always been my cheerleaders, support system, and always given constructive criticism when I needed it. Without their support I would not be able to continue my life in a well balanced matter.…
1. Why are you interested in serving as a peer mentor again? I am interested in serving as a peer mentor again next year because of the experiences and opportunities that I have had so far. Looking back on my experiences in Econ 110, I appreciated the guidance I received from the class and from my peer mentors. I am excited to continue to help the incoming freshman class adjust to college by preparing them for life as an Agricultural Business student. More specifically preparing them for the CALS career fair, working with each student of their four-year plans, and being available for any questions they may have.…

The history with my mentor is we met when I was playing football as a child and he was a high school coach. He encouraged me to do better at all of the sports i do and i would be the best player on the field. So almost every weekend we would go to the gym or a open field and workout and work on my stands so I can come out and up even more powerful.…
Life can be a treacherous journey that even the toughest people have trouble making it through. No one, not even the greatest superheros can get through it alone. We all need some sort of mentor. Someone like Mr. Miyagi was to Karate Kid and Athena was to Odysseus. I am no different, a mentor’s job is to lead and guide you through whatever life throws your way. My mentor has done that and much more. Normally it seems most mentors either come from different ethnicities or cultural backgrounds but, not in this case. Me and my mentor share a ton of the same characteristics and traits. Although he is older and much more wiser, we are still close enough in age to experience and enjoy some of the same cultural activities. One of them being checking…
I believe that I am qualified to be a peer mentor because I live by the saying “Abstain to Attain” everyday. As a young adult among so much peer pressure, it is hard not to cave in. I understand though, drugs, sex, and drinking alcohol isn’t worth it. I have too much to lose in life if I get pregnant at a young age, or if I become an alcoholic or a drug addict. My family is counting on me as well. I will be a first generation student and I will not let them down because I gave into peer pressure and went down the wrong path.…

This is a tribute to a man that has always been and will always be my mentor. His name is Alan Dale Jacobson, he is my father. He is not technically my father by blood, but he is by far the best father I could have ever asked for. I have known him my entire life as Uncle Al until I was 13 and he married my mother and our relationship went to a whole new level. He taught me many things like pride, honesty, to put my family above all things, and how to be an honorable man.…
