...We often learn valuable lessons from wise and trusted individuals in our lives. These individuals are considered to be mentors, because they support or influence us in a special way. My mentor is my older cousin Brian. Brian is thirty-two years old but is a kid at heart. He is tall with brown hair and wears hats with logos on them all the time. When I grow up, I want to be just like him in every way. Kids often fantasize about their adult life,I am no exception. When I see myself in twenty years I don't see myself living in a castle married to a prince, I see reality. Brian has three kids Lil brian,Jordan,Jaden, and a baby on the way. He also has a wonderful,beautiful wife named Jaci. I want to have a family to love and care for just...

...My Mentor “Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts and we are never ever the same.” I have had the pleasure of meeting many people in my life, but one has left such great impact on me. Ms. Saulsberry taught me my 11th grade year; she was my Mathematics teacher. Some things I learned were perseverance, to always put education first, independence, and she motivated me. She started off as my teacher, then became my mentor and more importantly my friend. Whenever I did not get an answer right in class the first time, I would give up. I would think, “why bother.” Ms. Saulsberry pulled me aside one day, and showed me one of my tests. She said that every time I was about to get the answer, I would give up without realizing how close I...

...opportunity to understand better the material being studied. What does the research say about peer tutoring? In reviews of peer tutoring programs, researchers found: * When students participated in the role of reading tutor, improvements in reading achievement occurred * When tutors were explicitly trained in the tutoring process, they were far more effective and the students they were tutoring experienced significant gains in achievement * Most of the students benefited from peer tutoring in some way, but same-age tutors were as effective as cross-age tutors (Burnish, Fuchs & Fuchs, 2005; Topping, 2008) Some benefits of peer tutoring for students include higher academic achievement, improved relationships with peers, improved personal and social development as well as increased motivation. In turn, the teacher benefits from this model of instruction by an increased opportunity to individualize instruction, increased facilitation of inclusion/mainstreaming, and opportunities to reduce inappropriate behaviors (Topping, 2008). There is an old saying: “To teach is to learn twice.” Peer tutoring is a beneficial way for students...

...criticism” therefore they will be more prepared to deal with stress (Harrison and Rasmussen, p. 81). When an athlete is told they fall short academically, whether it is true or not, they begin to develop a negative self-identity. Take for example, about a week ago my Sociology professor asked the class about things we do to “cheat” the system. A classmate said that athletes do it all the time because they take easier classes and get special treatment for being an athlete. There are a few athletes in my class and I could tell this really bothered them. Now we can try to change the stereotype that athletes are stupid or get better treatment, but honestly there will always be people out there who believe the stereotypes. The best thing we can do is teach athletes how to deal with these stereotypes through self-affirmation exercises. The truth is the athletes are the only ones effected by these negative comments about athletes,...

...through miles of isolation cannot believe their eyes when they arrive upon this amazing anomaly of life and fertility. Much like these inspiring creatures, my origins could be described by some as dismal, maybe even stifling. Being the daughter of a mother and father who grew up in poverty, I lost my father to H.I.V. and my mother and I overcame various obstacles throughout my life, including living with domestic violence, sexual abuse, unstable housing and other trials that made it difficult to look forward to a positive future. As a child, I was never sure where to turn to for inspiration and I struggled to meet expectations in school. Subsequently, I was diagnosed with a learning disability in reading and writing, and it became increasingly hard for me to believe in myself, without many personal successes to draw from. But even in the arid desert some flowers still survive, and through the encouragement of my grandparents and reading teacher, I pressed on, and by late elementary school I was able to overcome these challenges begin feeling my first life successes through school. I felt a great sense of accomplishment and pride through my achievements in school, and it seemed to be the only variable in my life that I could control. So I thrust my energies into achieving in education and ended up becoming the first on one side of my family to graduate from high school, (graduating early in just three years), and one of the first on both...

...After two years of watching over the family in the cabin and gaining the courage to introduce himself, he expresses to De Lacey, “‘How can I thank you, my best and only benefactor? From your lips first have I heard the voice of kindness directed towards me; I shall be forever grateful; and your present humanity assures me of success with those friends whom I am on the point of meeting’” (Shelley 137). The monster’s initial impression of humanity—one of kindness, warmth, and peace—is tarnished when Felix instinctively attacks the monster as the monster laments, “I could have torn him limb from limb, as the lion rends the antelope. But my heart sunk within me as with bitter sickness, and I refrained. I saw him on the point of repeating his blow, when, overcome by pain and anguish, I quitted the cottage” (Shelley 137). Such unprovoked retaliation from the humans establishes a basis for Grendel’s and the monster’s general hatred and monstrousness for society. Considering that people will never view them as anything but monsters, Grendel and the monster have nothing to gain from acting...

...always experienced stereotypes from people outside of their culture due to ignorance and lack of empathy. Sherman Alexie and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie use personal narrative to depict how one can easily stereotype and fit a person into a certain category. Ultimately, broadening one's view and understanding that humans innately have the same basic wants and need can eliminate stereotypes. To start, Sherman Alexie depicts the rough and depression lifestyle Native Americans have to endure living on a reservation. Using a first person perspective Alexie starts by writing how the system on a reservation is broken. He depicts this by writing “ When I spelled all the words right, she crumpled...

...we must consider who we influence. On May 30, 2000 Charles Barkley is noted for claiming that “I’m no role model.” Whether that claim was made out of humility, or to eschew responsibility for the behavior of young people, simply making the claim resulted in influencing many people for years. Maxwell suggests that the question “is not whether we will influence someone”, but rather “what kind of influencer you will be.” (Maxwell, 1993, p.4) We influence practically everyone we come in contact with because our actions are subject to interpretation and response. Maxwell tells us that “We never know who or how much we influence.” This idea is emphasized in the narrative of Drew Dudley’s TED presentation. He was unaware of the profound impact that his “lollipop moment” had left on a young lady’s educational and personal life until years later. (Dudley, 2010). In keeping with the idea that leadership can be taught, Maxwell contends that “influence is a skill that can be developed.” (Maxwell, 1993, p.5) The...

...material and great stories for women to work with?” These questions will be answered through a compilation of archive footage and interviews with female students to understand how younger women aspiring in strong career paths feel about it – and also women that are already in the industry who experience the inequality first hand. This leads to my first contributor which will introduce narrative and to give the audience a strong storyline to follow: Carla Lacey is 46. She has recently graduated from Manchester University and wants to excel in her dream of becoming a successful screenwriter. She grew up always wanting to be a singer but suffered with heavy bipolar, restricting her from following her dreams. Carla wrote poems and two novels which are published in books and on the internet – with this not being good enough for her she researched into screenwriting and now aspires to work with many other female screenwriters in the industry. She is passionate about the empowerment of women and wants more material for women to work with in the industry as she feels there isn’t enough. (Carla and her two daughters on her graduation) In my film, Carla will travel to uptown New York to find herself and to involve her skills in the screenwriting lab funded and supported by American actress and three-time academy award winner ‘Meryl Streep.’ Meryl made a significant contribution to a new initiative nurturing female screenwriters over the age of 40. * Run by New...
