Please describe the best part of working on this project with your mentor.
The best part about working with my mentor was he really helped figure out my exact plan and what i need to do to become a sheriff.
Getting advice from someone outside the school who is a professional.
The best part of working on this program was being able to receive guidance, advice, and information that can be a significant contribution to your success.
Getting advice for my future.
I got a lot of helpful information.
I liked how my mentor gave me a lot of feed back about my career and i also like how she gave me enough time to respond because of the limited time on computers.
It helped me understand somethings.
I loved how my mentor and I made such a strong bond. Even though she did not study in the field I wish to go into, we still had a lot in common and she still helped me take the necessary steps toward my goal of becoming a construction manager. My mentor helped make me more comfortable with reaching out to business professionals and asking them about their experiences with their career. She has also provided me with an escape when no one else would listen to me and then found a way to tie it into my passions and interests. Telementor became more than just a class assignment to me. It became a past-time that I looked forward to every day.
The best part for me was the experiance
the best part of working witha mentor is meeting a new person you do not know from a different conutry of state. i liked it because i got to explain what i want to do. the things that i have to do to accomplish what i want to do and so forth. also she helped me get in contact with professionals and get into some website to help me be the person i want to be.
The best part of the program is the opportunity to talk to a professional that you never met before.
The best part was learning more information about what I wanted to do when I grow up.
The best part about working with my mentor was that she gave me tips and feedback on so many things and she helped me the whole time.
The best things about working with a mentor is that they have experience in areas that you do not. Your mentor can give you information that will give you a different and more successful vision on things that you want to do well in in. overall working with a mentor is a very good advantage for people students unsure of what the want to do after school.
Getting to learn more about the career I chose.
From working with telementor it has really lead me to the direction that i need to head it has just had me thinking about my future and because of Telementor i have gained knowledge and now understand that if i want something i have to go out and get it most of the time it will not come to you
I liked talking to someone that I did not know.
It has helped me analyze my goals.
In my opinion the best part of working on this project with my mentor was being able to gain knowledge and connections from them.
The best part of working on this project with my mentor was the communication and her assistance with all the steps. She even offered to help me on other assignments too.
Please share any other academic areas where you'd like to receive help from a mentor.
i would like to have a mentor to help me out with my math skills.
How to write a resume.
With a small period of time and a very busy schedule, I don't suppose the mentors have time to give assistance with academic fields in high school.
None
As a senior we really dont have academic areas we are more for so focused on careers, but i think if they ask we do alot of essays.
In just school in general like with your classes.
I'm not sure if I have other areas I'd like to cover. Every time I needed help with something, I'd ask my mentor. We worked struggles out when I got to them. Sometimes I'd even ask her, "this is where I am...this is where I want to be...this is what I think I need to do...what am I missing?" She helped me organize and think of things that I forgot.
math and science
i dont really have any area i need help with thank you though..
Maybe more in getting ahold of people and how to talk to them for job opportunities.
I would like to recieve help in how to communicate better with people, and just have a better understanding for people.
Science
I would want to receive other sits for my goal and my back up plan mostly i gave effort to my first discussion and I should of payed attention to both
I would like to know more about my choice of what job I like.
N/A
Academically I believe I do not have very many issues where my mentor can help.
I don't have any other academic areas where I'd like to receive help from a mentor.
What advice would you give your mentor as he or she works with a new student?
I would say to keep working with studentstheway he does he really knows how to communicate and get his point across.
Keep being supportive and giving good advice.
I would prefer for my mentor to be oriented in my field of interest, but am complacent with the mentor I was paired with.
Dont be serious.
None I enjoyed my mentor she was a very nice and well knowledgeable lady.
I think my mentor did a great job as a mentor she asked the right questions and she didnt over question me, so i think she helped me out in a lot of ways.
I have no advice for her she was amazing an was always on top of things.
My mentor was awesome! It's obvious she has to be a pro. So there's no criticism what-so-ever. She had a lot of great thoughts for me, but in case she forgets them...she figured out what I wanted to do as a career. That opened up the conversation and I was comfortable talking about myself. Then we focused on how to get there. She told me about her experiences with her career and I realized we had things in common. I told her of the issues I was having that were getting in the way of my goal, such as public speaking and getting past drama. She gave me a lot of great tips and even websites for me to check out. After we accomplished those, we started making contacts. She didn't tell me what to write but she told me what she would want to know or be asked if she was a professional. She even helped me get the highest grade in my class on a class assignment! I asked her, " what would you want to know if you were sitting in the audience while I was giving a presentation?" She helped me to understand that I should get to know my audience. I love my experience while taking to my mentor!
explain in more detail
do come off so much as a teacher in a sence of do this do that. ask what would be the best stratgie and ways to get what you need
My mentor was great replied as soon as possible and gave good advice so she should not change anything.
I would tell them to be sure that the student was comfortable with talking to them, and made them feel as comfortable with them as they possibly could.
I would tell them that they should maybe respond quicker or if they can't they should tell the student that something is coming up.
Keep it up
make sure they dont have anything else not just focus on one plan
Make sure you have the same interest with them.
Keep doing what shes doing she did a really good job.
I would tell my mentor to stay on top of everything and keep doing what she's doing.
Keep up the good work! The communication back and forth was great. I loved her help.

Please describe why or why not.
i would like someone to motivate me to keep working hard on my education and keep me motivated to get my bachelors degree.
It provided good advice when i needed it.
It can be a great benefit to learn from someone who is experienced and has accommodated valuable knowledge from such experience.
Its good to get advice on anything , and thats what telementors are for.
Believe I need to find things out on my own.
No matter how old we get or how far we get, we can always use the support especially from someone who has already experienced it.
It was something interesting
I loved the experience of getting help from my mentor in high school. College is going to be even harder. I would love to have someone who has experienced it help walk me through it when I start struggling and to help me get the best opportunities possible.
It really helps a lot. Especially when you have no idea about what you're about to go into!
Im always open to opportunities.
I liked the program,especially that they are a complete stranger who can't judge you.
I would love to because I know that I would have someone to give me feedback or tips on things I need to improve on.
I wouldn't mind it for a couple more semesters because it would help me in situations where I wouldn't know what to do.
It really helps
I will not know everything in the world so a little advise would help me from someone that knows there job
It is a good thing to have in the future.
Its been a big impact in helping me analyze my careers focus.
I find that what my mentor taught me was useful, but I feel as if I had a good knowledge of what I wanted already.
I enjoyed the experience and knowledge I received from my mentor. She a real professional in the career field I am interested in.

Please describe the most difficult parts of working on this project with your mentor.
the most dificult problem for me was the projects i would have rather just have been able to communicate back and forth on my own
none
The most difficult part of working on this project with my mentor was composing the time for communication between me and my mentor.
Follwig the steps.
Doing the steps.
the most difficult time i had on this mentoring project was limited access to computers.
It would have to be not having computer time to reply more.
My mentor and I got along great and worked very well together. We thought exactly alike. The problem I had was waiting on other students to get their steps done on time. Our teacher wanted us to all stay together on the steps but some students started slacking. It was a couple of weeks before I finally got the "ok" to go ahead and continue the project. That put me behind so I wasn't able to finish my steps.
messaging back and forth, as we didn't have enough computer time
doing the steps
Getting the time at school to work on the projects for the mentors and lack of information from project to project.
The communicating part was a little difficult , because I didn't feel like me and my mentor were good at communicating.
The most difficult part about working with my mentor was time. My class hardly had any computer time to get back with our mentor.
The only thing that sometimes got in the way was the projects going on at school.
The steps
completing the steps I didn't know till more towards the end
It was really simple but the steps were a bit challenging.
The most difficult part was on replying. Maybe there should be an app for it.
The most difficult part was probably my mentor's absence due to her health condition.
The most difficult parts of working on this project with my mentor is not being able to have much computer time available for me because I am busy with school activates.
Did we miss something? If so, please share any additional comments you might have about your experience in the program.
overall this was a great experience And i really enjoyed it.
no
No, everything was covered. The only change that would have benefited me in a different manner, would have been a connection with a mentor in my field of interest.
It was a great program
Nothing missed.
no i think this has helped in many ways and i thank you guys for all the support during this year.
N/A
I really enjoyed the program. I wish there had been a way where my mentor and I could just chat. Maybe an instant message type of option. That would be a little more helpful. Sometimes I would get on the website and see that my mentor answered a question I had, but I had forgot what I had asked. Lastly, thank you for involving us in this program. I really benefited from it and had a great experience too. I really wish I could still be a part of it.
no you didn't miss any thing
no!
This was my first time in the program so everything seems okay.
I had a really positive experience so I dont really have any negative feedback what so ever.
No you haven't missed anything, but it would be great in you could come with a telementor app for android and iphone.
No, everything was fine the website runs smoothly. everything just depends on the communication of the mentor and the student.
A little more easier
no thanks i am fully aware of this site.
Everything went well
Honeslty everything was great in my part.
It was a good program.
No, you didn't miss anything.
