Mentee Conversations

My conversations about academic success and involvement went very well with my mentee. As far as academic success, she told me that she has all As and Bs. She determined that her goal is to make all As. I asked her how she thinks she can achieve her goal and she said she could study harder in the classes she is making Bs. We then went on to discussing several study strategies she could try.

As far as involvement, she has expressed to me that she would like to join the chorus next semester. This past meeting, however, she told me that she might be moving in January and might have to go to a different middle school. So, she may not be able to join the chorus. Currently, she is involved with the step team at a church and wants to join the step team at Hand.

Me and my mentee are connecting by playing computer games. Every time we meet, she leads me to the library and goes to a computer. She likes a website called funbrain.com where all of the games are educational. We play the games together and talk as we play.

I don't know how I will say goodbye to my mentee at our last meeting. I feel like I've barely had enough time to get to know her, and we already have to say goodbye. Maybe, I will bring her a gift or something. I will tell her how glad I am that I got to know her and I will wish her luck for the years to come.
