I was able to learn how to collaborate with a professional.
I enjoyed exploring my career interest with my mentor

Being able to get feedback and advice from a professional who has been in a similar situation of trying to decide what to do with their life.

I would love to work with a mentor in my career field when I am beginning to plan my schedule for college so they could help me decide which classes would be the best to take for my career field.
I would like to receive help writing research papers for English
I would like help with English Homework specifically writing essays.
I do not have any other academic areas where I'd like to receive help from my mentor.
What advice would you give your mentor as he or she works with a new student?
I was inspired when I got a message from my mentor and I hope she will communicate even more with other students.
I would recommend that she continues to respond to future students quickly because it kept me engaged and eager to see her responses everyday
I get stressed out easily so I appreciated the encouragement that my mentor gave me throughout this project, and I'm sure other students would as well.
I always enjoyed hearing from my mentor and it helped motivate and encourage me to make my goals. I hope my mentor will interact more with her future students to encourage them. It was discouraging when i went a week or more without hearing from my mentor.
To not change much at all.
Just continue to be dependable on to respond often and offer great input.

Please describe why or why not.
I would find it helpful to have a person that has gone through the challenges that I will go through already and help direct me, especially in college class planning.
Yes because I enjoyed learning new information with my mentor and developing a friendship with her.
It was nice to get information from someone with experience in college and career readiness.
Although it was very helpful I prefer working independently on projects.
It helps me learn new things from different perspectives told by new people.
It was incredibly helpful to have someone who is experienced in going to college and gaining an education to ask for advice from.
