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.
