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.
