Warmly enthusiastic and imaginative. See life as full of possibilities. Make connections between events and information very quickly, and confidently proceed based on the patterns they see.

When we did the Myers Briggs test in class, it was difficult for me to read all the questions. When I looked at the description of my results, ENTJ, some of it described me, but I was surprised especially by the part about enjoying long-term planning and goal setting and being well read.  Many of these questions are hard to answer because the situations are so general.  So I decided to retake the test having someone else read the questions to me.  This time my result was ENFP, which matches me much better.  I think my second set of results are more accurate because I likely misread/misunderstood many of the questions reading them on my own.

My Hollard results show that I am very strong in Social, Enterprising and Realistic.  Artistic and Investigative are pretty high too, and Conventional is clearly my lowest area.  This shows that I am mostly well-rounded except for the conventional area, which has to do with rules, regulation, self-control and structure.  This is not surprising because I don’t mind a lack of structure.  I am comfortable working and dealing with the “grey area”, and I don’t black and white situations because I often see good reasons for exceptions.  

Introducing my CHS Mentor

I have chosen Mrs. Turner for my Cal High Mentor.  She is in the history department and teaches two sections of US History.  She also teaches English for the American Studies program for juniors that aligns their US History and English courses. I was in the American Studies program last year and had her as a teacher. With the block schedule, we officially had English or History on alternate days, but the two classes functioned like a family so we usually saw both teachers each day.  As result, I am very comfortable with Mrs. Turner and feel like we really connected.  She understands teenagers and is very reasonable.  She has two teenage boys of her own, one of whom has dyslexia.  So I think she understands my academic struggles.  I know that she will give me good advice. 

When I asked Mrs. Turner to be my mentor, at first she questioned if she would have enough time to give me.  After I explained what was expected, she immediately said, “of course!”  We talked a little bit more about the problems I was having getting a commitment from the City.  She gave me some suggestions for communicating with Keith, which I used.  We planned to talk again last Friday at lunch, but we missed each other.  I will follow up with her on Monday.
