Mentoring Planning
Need for Mentoring (Areas for Growth):
My main problem at college is how and how much I let my stress effect me. I'm constantly overthinking about what's due, what grades I have and need, exams, midterms, finals, etc. I need to learn to put my stress in it's place and give myself times to be stress free, even if there are due dates and important events close by.
Who have you selected as a mentor?
I've selected Dalton Thomas a mentor.
Why?
Dalton is very good at controlling his emotions and what negatively effects him. He has a time and place for everything, includes stressors from school, work, relationships, etc.
What is your relationship to this person?
Dalton is my boyfriend of almost three years and my absolute best friend.
How will you approach this person about the possibility of a mentoring relationship?
We've discussed this issue before, and he always has advice for me so I would probably talk to him about giving me more advice and tips to try and follow.
What are your goals?
To be able to put things out of my mind for periods of time and enjoy whatever I'm doing without my thoughts wandering and feelings overwhelmed.
How will you know when you're making progress?
Overall I'll know when I'm happier and don't constantly feel like I have huge weights on my shoulders.
How often will you meet with your mentor?
I'm already with him every day, but we would probably talk it once every day or so.
How will you celebrate growth and improvement?
I will use my improvement as an excuse to go out and do more fun things.
How will you celebrate final success?
By blocking out time every day for myself to do whatever I wish.
How will you end the mentoring process?
By telling him thank you and changing the subject.
