| Finding a needle in a haystack is pretty much finding another answer for my EQ |
1. What is your EQ?
- How can youth mentor-ship programs level the playing field for under represented students
2. What is your first answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
- By being able to be accessible, affordable, and resourceful; youth mentor-ship programs can help level the playing field for under represented students, by providing them a place they can reach, be able to pay for these resources (If need be)
3. What is your second answer? (In complete thesis statement format)
- The community is changing, families go into struggles that their kids do not get the chance to be able to give back to the environment. By providing a student with a mentor, the mentor can be the role model to the student, they will be able to giveback to their community and prove to be better academically and socially.
4. List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.
- First Answer:
- Why does being accessible, affordable, and resourceful for a youth mentor ship program help level the playing field for under represented students?
- By being accessible, students are able to reach the program by any means necessary, whether it'd be by bus or if they can get a carpool to the program. Another reason why being accessible is a key answer to my EQ, without a program being local or reachable, a student will never be able to go to the program or the student may not be willing to travel a lot.
- By being affordable, the program either asks for a small price to be able to accept enough students, being affordable does not mean it has to have a tuition of sorts. The program can be free as well, just as Uncommon Good is, by being a non profit, although yes sometimes they have fundraisers but these are merely for the resources they provide students with.
- If a program does not provide useful resources such as volunteer opportunities or different set of programs to expand a students knowledge, these opportunities are lost. Another resource for these programs are to provide Mentors, without these mentors students don't get a role model or help they deserve through high school
- Second Answer
- Why is a Mentor so important?
- Provides a caring adult to a student
- Student results in a better person and strives to do better academically
- Mentoring brings the community back together, by providing others with "Care and Guidance"
5. What printed source best supports your answer?
- Answer 1: Shown in my WB, Source# 46
- Answer 2: http://www2.ed.gov/PDFDocs/yyc.pdf
6. What other source supports your answer?
- Shown in source 47,48
7. Tie this together with a concluding thought.
- Both these answers has shown a unique view. my first answer focuses on how it will reach these students and how they can help them. My second answer focuses on only mentoring, and how well it can help students, although this answer is technically apart of my first answer but this primarily focuses on the students success.
