I am going to be applying for the Seek Mentoring program for the upcoming summer, fall, and spring term. There are a lot of qualities needed to be a seek mentor and a lot of hard work to it. This great opportunity reminds me of my junior year in high school. I was taking seven different courses and during the spring term I participated in the College Now program. I had a lot of responsibilities on my shoulders. I needed to do well in school and in the College Now class I was taking, which was statistics. Not only that, I also needed to do well because I took this course from my own free will as a challenge to myself. Instead of spending time doing other activities I noted down my priorities and worked according to it.

During that specific term I spend my time studying for schoolwork and gave time for Statistic. At first, Statistics was very easy because it was the basic of math, which was a piece of cake. As the course continued I started to find it a bit harder than before. I started to give more time to that class and started to feel more comfortable. I was able to explain my friends the homework that were assigned to us. Not only that, during the time of the midterm we actually had a study group, in which I was going over the materials and explaining it to every one.

At the end of the semester I actually did very well in the course and also in my school year. This actually satisfied me a lot. I learned that I was capable of accomplishing anything I want. As long as I know what my priorities are and where I need to give more time. I know I can handle almost anything. Over all, I had a great experience and I hope I will be able to use thee qualities as a Peer Mentor.
