High School Mentorship
I am interested in participating in the Leadership Development Program because I want to be a Mentor once again. I was a mentor for high school freshmen in my senior year, but that year was enough for me to want to do it again. Just being that person who they would ask for help or for information made me feel enlightened in a way, and certainly made me happier because I knew I was positively impacting their life. And I know that mentoring high school freshmen and mentoring college freshmen is different, but I still believe that I can help those incoming students transition to a new chapter of their lives as reassuringly as possible as I did so with my group of high school freshmen.

Not only that, but I want to participate in the Leadership

    The Independent study mentorship program or better known as ISM is truly what it sounds, as it is an independent study in which the student is not only treated as a learner of the teacher, the ISM instructor, but yet accepted as a fellow thinker because independent research and an innovative approach is highly encouraged. The reason as to why I would like to be a part of this brilliant opportunity is because I get to study and research the topics and information that would fit into the profession that I seek to get more opportunities other than the psychology classes that I already had and will take next year, to have a chance to see how the environment in the real world is while…

    First, I hope to create many long-lasting friendships within the program and establish a sense of camaraderie between everyone I meet. Through bonding and experiencing the program together, I predict that the other members and I will be transformed into a second family. In addition, I hope that this program will provide me with another level of community service by traveling and serving a multitude of communities around the globe. Since I have attended NC State, I have found that volunteering and helping people at school has enriched me even more as a student. After my first semester at NC State, I volunteered over twenty hours to various clubs and activities while maintaining a rigorous class schedule. I learned how volunteering is a way for me to help those in my community, and I've found that these people help me as well. They allow me to create new experiences and make new friends with people who also have a passion for serving others. The program will help me to gain developed leadership skills, which will help create new opportunities throughout my life. I predict the program will assist me in becoming an experienced leader and develop the necessary qualities to become a great…
