Please describe the best part of working on this project with your mentor.
I enjoyed the help and and the extra information they helped me with to make me want to explore more in the business world.
He was very helpful! especially when I wasnt familiar with terms or If i ever needed help revising and editing something.
Discussing ideas and getting help.
The best part of the project was learning all about what it takes to start a business and understanding the responsibilty that comes with it.
he helpes me if I am stuck or have no ideas
That they have the real world experience.
The best part about working with my telementor was that she always had an answer for any question I asked.
The best part was that I had someone to go over my work with me to help me with writing professionally, since I had no experience doing that.
She was able to help me when I asked for it. I just under- used this help.
She gave me lots of great advice to make my project perfect. She also got to know me outside of this though and helped me on more of a friend level which was really nice.
My mentor Chris had excellent advice and it was good having a second opinion.
The best part of working with my mentor is when I was strugling on my financial plan they helped me through it.
Please share any other academic areas where you'd like to receive help from a mentor.
Math
A mentor would be helpful in any other "Marketing" type classes.
I would need help in English, and Science.
Management advice would be an area that help might be good.
MATH
Math.
Math
I would love to have a telemnetor help me in my English class to!
I don't feel like I need help in any other areas of academics.
I think my marketing class is the only other area where I could use a mentor.
Maybe other business courses
Managment, Math
What advice would you give your mentor as he or she works with a new student?
To try and respond as quickly as possible.
When revising a submitted document actually edit the paper and mark where the editing has been made on the document, That would be very cool.
Keep up the good work and help them.
Honestly, my mentor was perfect. No advice needed.
Establish a good relationship with your student with good contact. but don's write so much information that it stresses him/her out.
To revise the documents better.
Only thing I could possibly say is probably work on replying a little fatser. but even that wasnt a big problem
I would advise them to do what my telemenore did, edit some of my work in one color and add comments in another, that way I knew what I did wrong and why. Or what sounds weird or could be wrtting differently.
Sometimes message them first. I didn't message sometimes because I had nothing to really say.
Just keep doing what you're doing! :)
Try and message the students quicker
Try to communicate whith the student more freequently

Would you be interested in receiving mentoring support from professionals in the future?
0 - No
12 - Yes
Please describe why or why not.
I would because I would like the best aviable help.
It much easier when discussing business with someone who actually understands the topics your speaking.
Because i'm still getting older and need people with more experience to help better my future.
The program allows people to get help from someone who has either experiences or knows all about what the student is doing.
collage will require some mentoring on projects.
Because they have real world experience and know what busness need to succeed
The reason I say yes is because there is no better help than someone actually working in the business world
Yes, because they give you a second opinion about things you may not have ever even taken a second look at. They also are people who don't know you personally so they are not judging you with love or anything they are just being perfessional which is what you need sometimes to make sure you are providing your best work.
It's extremely helpful in some cases.
I would because it's not like a commitment as a partnership, but just a helping hand to guide you in the right direction.
It was good having someone with experience look at my project
Having a mentor would defaintly help me out.

Please describe the most difficult parts of working on this project with your mentor.
When my first mentor wouldnt respond for weeks at a time.
We all work on different schedules, so communication can vary based on these schedules
Keeping up with the work.
The most difficult part was getting the site to upload my file properly.
The mentor helped me quite a bit but what found to be difficult was the required contact for my grade. I am required to contact twice a week but alot of the time, a sectoin I was working on took more time than that. I am very busy with extra curricular activitys, work, and DECA. I also have two different mentors. Overall I am very grateful to have my mentor, but it did place some extra stress on me.
Uploading projects
Nothing really was that difficult, my telementor did a very good job of not making this stressful.
The most difficult part was when my teacher and my telementor and my self were all on different pages sometimes.
I didn't know what to say sometimes so I wouldn't send any messages. Completely on me
Waiting for feedback
Time
When I had something really important to show my mentor, they never replied.
Did we miss something? If so, please share any additional comments you might have about your experience in the program.

Whish we could video chat.

no
I would like to know more about the proffesion of my telementor, and I would like to pick a person who might have more experience in the area of inventing a new product, not just a business person.
No
No, that was all.
No
make sure mentor communitcates frequently
