Blog 2- Summer Mentorship

1. List the contact name, phone number, and organization of the person with whom you volunteered.

2. What qualified this person as an expert in your topic choice?  

• Well Ms. Montoya is a teacher for children around the age I would like to be able to work with. So i thought that by mentoring with someone who works with children will help me so that i know what to expect.  

3. List three questions for further exploration now that you've completed your summer hours.

• What preparation do i need to know how to work with young children?
• Whats the most difficult task you go through when teaching your children?
• How would a teacher know if their students are understanding? 

4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

• The most important thing i gained was knowing how to be an actual teacher. At first i thought it would've been easy because the kids are young, but i was wrong. Its actually a pretty hard task to teach them and make them understand. 

5. What is your senior project topic going to be?  How did mentor ship help you make your decision?  Please explain.

• Well i want to do Pediatric Nursing so helping out a teacher with young children this summer gave me an great experience because i would kind of know what to expect as a behavior of younger children.
