Mentor UF Research Paper

495 Words2 Pages

As Matthew Kelly said, “Whatever change you desire for the world, create that change in your own life.” I have always been a socially active person. I always like to invest my time in things that are beneficial to me and the community. If I am admitted to UF, then I would invest my time into things that will enrich both my academic and worldly knowledge. One thing that I would like to do if I am admitted to UF is to be part of Mentor UF. I believe that every student can excel in academics, and the only thing that stops them is motivation and guidance. In high school, I am part of the tutoring program that helps students with math and science. This year, I tutored a student who struggled in geometry. The challenge for him was that he was a visual learner and his teacher lectured him, but did not use any hands on activity to demonstrate a lesson. I solved his problem by showing him how to solve the questions using different diagrams and encouraging him to use strategies such as elimination to increase his test scores. By becoming part of Mentor UF, I would like to continue providing guidance and motivation to high school students and inspiring them to go to postsecondary institutions. …show more content…

I have always been interested in the medical field, and I have always tried to be part of any organization that would increase my knowledge about different medical careers. Currently, I am part of my school’s Allied Health Academy that allows students who want to pursue a medical career to earn their CNA certifications. Also, I am the president of my high school’s HOSA chapter. As the president, I go to the HOSA’s state conventions where I get a chance to meet students who have similar goals and aspirations. Through UF’s HOSA chapter, I would like to continue interacting with students who have passion for the medical professions and represent UF at its state and national

Aside from the additional wrinkles, slower movement, and frailty that comes with aging, observing them, I have come to realize that life is short, perhaps too short. They have lived in my house throughout my life, and being close with them from a young age has given way to listening to many important life lessons, sometimes wanting to listen willfully and other times forcing myself to do so. One thing I have come to understand is that the advice and experiences of one’s elders serves an important function, to impart wisdom. They recommended to me to pursue my passions, so during my college career, I became involved in the Pre-health Professions

    Health Occupation Students of America (HOSA) was an organization that allowed me to expand my horizons and interact with people of various backgrounds. It built my communications skills and taught me how to connect with people who have different experiences than me. Not only was I able to establish a relationship with these people, but I was able to work well with them as well. This highlighted my ability to collaborate with people of differing opinions and still have the ability to be successful in our tasks. HOSA also pushed me out of my comfort zone slightly by putting me in new situations, such as forcing me to expand my circle and connect with new people.

    Marva Collins said it best when she wrote, “When someone is taught the joy of learning, it becomes a life-long process that never stops. That is the challenge and joy of teaching. Students need teachers who believe that all children are achievers and who take personally the failure of any one child.” While all teachers should believe every student can succeed, the question that always remains is how does a teacher ensure every student achieve their goals? Teachers implement a variety of techniques that are integrated with the hopes of advancing the educational ambitions of their students.

    In the article, “From Education,” Ralph Waldo Emerson, America’s most influential thinker and writer, wrote, “It is chosen and foreordained, and he only holds the key to his own secret.” Emerson says that students hold their own success to their futures. Students that find a passion find learning more about their passion interesting and show eagerness for education themselves. Also, having support from family and peers about their passion makes them even more eager to learn and explore new ideas. In the article, “Best In Class,” Margaret Talbot, a writer for cultural politics and editor at Lingua Franca and New Republic, wrote, “Students who fill their schedules with A.P. classes, as the ambitious ones tend to do, can end up with G.P.A.s well above 4.0.”
