MENTORING: building relationships, making connections E. McKnight-Samms ESL/Foreign Languages The journey of college life begins. On the horizon lie endless possibilities. What are/were your thoughts from your experience here at MDC? You begin classes. Now what are your feelings/thoughts? Would it help to have someone who sat where you are sitting now explain things and give you pointers/advice? Are you on a team? Do you need a guide as a mentor? With help from a mentor, it is easier to get to this day. There is no need to struggle alone. On graduation day you are my hero Just as you are for your family and friends Now it is your turn to show someone else the way. What would you tell someone who is about to begin college? Finally, we have cemented relationships. We connect with the institution. Regardless of differences, we work together to achieve: BE A MENTOR.
