Please describe the best part of working on this project with your mentor.
I always had someone willing to check my writing and to help insure it was of top quality.
The best part of working with my mentor is being able to discuss with her what I found. Since she was an actual person in my career field I could talk to her about what I found and she could give me some pointers and tips.
The best part with working with my mentor was receiving information I had missed myself because I gained a great amount of knowledge that I otherwise would have had to go without through this.
The college research, because I got to find out many different things about the colleges I would like to attend.
The amount of information I was able to obtain and the amazing guidance that I had.
The best part about working with my mentor was the information she provided. She helped a lot with researching and locating specific information needed for the completion of my project.
The best part of working with my mentor was being able to connect with him and having him be able to help me on the project by helping me find articles, find professionals, and just overall helping me throughout the project.
The best part of working on this project with my mentor was the interviews. She got me three amazing ones, that all gave me good information on my field of interest.
I learned a lot more about my career and I knew that if I ever needed help with anything, he'd help me.
Please share any other academic areas where you'd like to receive help from a mentor.
I would like to receive help on things like actual college searching. This would also prepare me for what is to come after high school which is not usually in the core curriculum.
I wouldn't like to receive any further academic help from my mentor.
Science
I would love to work with a mentor for anything, as this program has chosen some of the best in the business.

What advice would you give your mentor as he or she works with a new student?
My mentor actually worked really well with me. There would not be much I would Recommend my mentor to change.
I think Mrs. Julie worked very well with me. I could tell she has done this before.
I would recommend that he/she stresses the importance of completing the work at the deadline, or else it will be a lot harder on the student.
Keep up the good work.
Give the student an amazing experience, just as you have with me.
I would advise my mentor to provide more grammatical support.
Keep connecting with your student on a personal level and keep helping them throughout the project like you did with me.
Keep up the good work.
To keep doing what you're doing because you do a great job!:)

Please describe why or why not.
I simply do not feel the need for someone to consistently monitor all the work I do. I have enough self motivation and dedication to perform tasks without constant reminder and pressure. However, I would appreciate always having someone willing to criticize my writing.
I think that mentors later in the future could be very helpful. Nobody knows everything but it is great to have someone with experience talking to you about what you want to know.
I would appreciate this because being in contact with other professionals would be an amazing opportunity that will assist me in my own success of the career.
Because it really helped me get on the right path to the career i want.
I would love to receive help from a mentor, as they do a great job of keeping with you during your studies and giving their amazing advice.
They helped me tremendously along the way and I would greatly appreciate the guidance in the future.
The mentor program was very helpful to me and it would be of even greater help to college students working in the field of the mentors.
It was a very educational yet fun experience. I gained more information on my career choice that I never would have gotten without this experience.
It's a great way for any student to get help from a wiser adult who has more experience!

Please describe the most difficult parts of working on this project with your mentor.
Some times my mentor and I would miss-communicate in the messages, but we were always able to correct the communication error and remain on the same page.
I think the most difficult part was writing about what I found. Finding the information I needed was easy, its putting that into words that is the harder part for me.
The most difficult parts of the project would be finishing the research and products quick enough to make the deadline, although this was greatly due to my own procrastination.
The beginning when we were getting to know each other and the rigorous research we did.
The most difficult part was definitely the farcical amounts of editing.
The most difficult part of working on this project with my mentor was having to wait for responses or wait to respond to my mentor.
The project was difficult looking up the professional organizations and finding the information on their pages.
The most difficult thing was keeping up with the due dates because they came really quickly. I was working a little fast and forgot some things when I was working, but I managed to work through it.
The few times I was waiting a week or so for a response that I wanted sooner.
