Blog 21: Mentorship

Literal:
  • Mentorship log on right side of my blog.
  • Mimi Orth, Mr. Strand's room at iPoly High School
Interpretive:
  • The most important thing I've gained from mentoring under Mimi was learning what it is like to work in publishing for a possible career choice. Mimi's experience in yearbook publishing and Herff Jones has benefitted me in not only my senior project, but also guiding me to real-life application of the skills I've learned under her wing, to use for other endeavors such as internships and working for a student newspaper, which I aspire to do next fall.
Applied:
  • What I've done with Mimi in my mentorship really helped me answer my EQ through actual experimentation; for better clarification, I was able to really test out all three of my answers, and see which one of the three stood out the most throughout the duration of my mentorship. Mimi was present for the progress of my mentorship, and through her advice and valuable knowledge when she was present in yearbook, I was able to see how the best answer for my EQ showed through real situations and application. Having her teaching me as a mentor also helped in supporting my EQ and best answer fully and thoroughly, with evidence coming from what I did in yearbook under her watch, and was expected of me as an editorial publisher of a student publication (ie. how the staff worked, how I taught the staff, how spreads and content looked, etc.).
