Good deeds and Maturity.

Everyday I help the lives of freshmen and others around me. I am a senior mentor and everday I need to guide my freshmen and help them improve thier lives. The first thing I did to help my three freshmen was to get them more organized. I do a daily agenda check and I make sure they write down all thier classes and thier homework, even if they do not have homework in a certain class that day they must write "none". Also I make sure if they play a sport or are in the play, the games and practices are written in their agenda. Having everything written down makes it easier to remember and it makes life more organized. I cannot stress anything more than organization, it simply makes things so much easier!

I believe that I am viewed as a role model in school by my freshmen. I feel they trust me and really look up to me. Every week when we print out grades I share my grades as well with them and they always say, "I want my grades to be like yours." I am glad I am seen as a role model to my freshmen because they are very important to me.

I have assumed adult responsiblities. Even though I currently do not have a job I do still believe I carry out adult responsibilities. I go to school everyday and try my best in school. I do this because I would like to go far in the future and I know i cannot without school. School is my number one priority and I think that it is a mature responsibility. I also carry out the "adult" responsibility but driving. I think driving is an adult responsibility. Lastly, I will be going away to college and I will be on my own. I really believe that that is an adult responsibility.

  1. I will be interested to see where you take this topic on a micro level during future entries. For example, telling the story of how you helped a student, keeping his/her name anonymous will really ring the bell.

    Keep up the good work!
