To get into a good college, you
need to have good grades, priority
in your life, skills and knowledge
in a specific job, and good study
skills. You should always be
working all 110% to do well in your
life.
That if you learn to believe in yourself and your abilities and work hard to improve
those abilities, you can accomplish anything.
My mentor has shown me the value of
going to college. I believe the only way to
be accepted into a job of my desire is to
have a college education.
That in order to succeed and live a good life you need
to finish college and continue
learning.
That you have to finish high school strong.

My mentee determined that
creating a perfume line was of
interest to her. We decided the
type of fragrance, designed
the bottle and came up with a
few marketing slogans. I trust
that this vision will inspire her
future success.
I enjoyed discussing the future with my mentee and also who she is, her interests, her hopes/goals.
This is a great tool that is extremely helpful to young people in my opinion. The sites could be made a little
easier to navigate, but a great tool nevertheless.
