Getting Started...

Today we got the list of the mentor pairings.  My mentee is Canilia Tran.  At first I was hoping to get someone I know so things wont be so awkward, but then, the thought of building a new relationship with a complete stranger was very exciting.  I had never seen or heard anything about Canilia.  I am also afraid that she might have more experience in the hospitality field or be more involved in the program than me.  If that is the case, I have no idea how useful I can be to her as a mentor.  After clearing this thought out of my mind,  I sent her an e-mail that day to say hello and introduce little bit about myself.  I also gave her my availability so we can set up a time to meet each other.  She texted me back the next day with her school schedule.  I then called her and we set up a meeting for February 15 at the wooden tables near the Love Library.


My personal goals for this project are:

1. Meet with Cami at least twice throughout the semester.
2. Stay in contact with her through e-mails, text, and Facebook.
3. By the end of the semester, develop a relationship with Cami in order to keep mentoring her and giving her advice on her questions and concerns.

Mentoring Plan:

The first step is to get in touch with Cami in order to set a date where we can meet each other. My plan is to meet with Cami at least two times during the semester.  Then, I plan on staying in contact with her so our mentor/mentee relationship will strengthen.  I hope that by the end of the semester I will be able to help Cami or give her advice on a certain matter.
