Meet the Mentees

I have a variety of hobbies which includes sport (especially football), MMA and Motorsport. I'm also passionate about travelling and discovering new places around the world. Furthermore, I have a strong interest in technology and aviation and I enjoy learning about innovations in these fields. Using these interests as a foundation, I aim to pursue a future that aligns with my passions.

When I leave school, I aim to attend university to further my education and build a strong foundation for my career. While I’m still not sure of what exact degree I would like to complete, I’m interested in pursuing a course related to the aviation industry. I hope to explore different options within this field and find the area that best matches my skills and abilities.

Having a Corporate Mentor has been really helpful for me. It’s given me the chance to get advice from someone with real experience, especially when I’m unsure about the future. I can ask questions, talk about my goals and learn how to manage school and university life better. This program helps me stay motivated and focused, has given me a clearer sense of direction and helped me feel more prepared for life after school.

I have many interests and hobbies, most that don't include any sort of sport. I am highly interested in Astronomy, Geology and Biology. My other interests include horse riding and ice skating, stemming from day outings as a kid. My biggest goal, is to start/gain a career that aligns with all my morals and interests. 

During my senior years, I hope to gain early entry to a variety of different universities to further my education. I hope to get entry to the University of Sydney, hopefully with a scholarship. My dream is to combine my interest and study Earth and exoplanets from space, by using technology such as satellites. I hope to balance both my hobbies, interest and work life. 

Having said that, having a Mentor has really helped me achieve small goals, that will lead to my bigger end goal. My Mentor has helped me realise what I'm good at and understanding how to maintain balance in my life, through social, to work, to school including studying. She has helped me get into a healthy habit of studying and routine. 

Passion is something that drives or fuels you and to me passion is art. I love engaging in creative and performing arts such as drama, singing, theatre, fashion design and producing a variety of different art styles. I would also say I am a very organised person and love planning: whether it's a birthday party; a bake sale; a gathering; or dinner, I am there with a checklist and a pen. These hobbies and extra-curriculars encourage me on days when I have too much homework.

My future decisions are as varied as my hobbies and interests. I wish to complete a degree and pursue a career in education or creative and performing arts, however, I still hope to become exposed to more career opportunities or ideas as I continue through school and find something to cater to my organised yet creative personality.

Having a Corporate Mentor to guide and support me has been so helpful throughout my high school years. The constant exposure to multiple opportunities, discussions and conversations we get into and advice on how to achieve and keep goals, connections I have built and things I have learnt are something I am so grateful for.

I enjoy exploring creative and personal growth activities. In my free time, I love reading books that challenge my thinking, playing basketball to stay active, and setting personal challenges that push me to grow. I’m also passionate about learning whether it’s through school subjects or through real-life experiences.

After school, I plan to study medicine and pursue a higher education at University. My dream is to make a real difference by helping children with issues, especially those in need. I also want to become financially successful so I can support others and give back to communities, particularly young people who need hope, care, and opportunities.

Being in a Corporate Mentoring Program has given me valuable guidance and clarity. Having a Mentor helped me set meaningful goals, stay motivated, and believe in my potential. It has helped me see beyond school and imagine the kind of person and professional I want to become. I’ve learned how to make better decisions, stay focused and stay confident even when things feel hard.

I'm interested in a variety of hobbies and passions which encompasses reading, writing, psychology and how we as humans function and react to experiences and public speaking. Using my hobbies as a foundation, I aim to pursue professions that cater to my interests and passions. 

After school I would like to attend university, preferably in degrees related to psychology such as neuropsychology, journalism or teaching. 

Having a Corporate Mentor has thoroughly aided in my journey as a high school student. It holds me accountable to achieve goals both in and out of school, gives me an insight on how to build connections and what life is like after school, gives me an opportunity to reflect on exams and how I can improve in the future and, is an effective approach in gaining an understanding of how I can build my future. Having a Corporate Mentor is invaluable to me as I navigate my last years of school, providing essential guidance for my future. 

I’m passionate about literature, exploring the arts, social issues and spending quality time with family and friends. I enjoy reading contemporary novels, creating art, or diving into discussions about philosophy and culture. These hobbies keep me grounded and inspire my dreams for the future.

When I leave school, I hope to pursue a career in sociology. I’m fascinated by understanding how people interact and shaping a fairer society. Studying social sciences will help me achieve this goal and prepare me for a role where I can make a positive impact.

Having a Corporate Mentor means a lot to me. It’s about having someone experienced to guide me through my final year of school, helping me navigate tough decisions, and connecting me with opportunities that align with my aspirations. I’m incredibly grateful for this support as I prepare to take the next steps toward achieving my dreams.

My interests are erratically eclectic, like the 1000-piece puzzle I am. I have a soft spot for soppy, tear-jerking novels and Netflix shows that pull at my heartstrings and leave me pondering about the fictional worlds long after I’ve turned the last page or watched the last episode. Although, this is complimented by an affinity towards the rigorous studies of Maths and Science.

I dream of studying a Doctor of Medicine. I want to dedicate my life to improving health outcomes for all. My inexorable commitment to serving the community is paralleled only by my fervent passion for human biology and public health.

To me, a Corporate Mentor is a bridge that connects who I am now to who I aspire to be. My Corporate Mentor keeps me accountable for tasks, and offers pivotal guidance regarding future decisions. Essentially, a Corporate Mentor keeps me on my individual path to success. My Corporate Mentor has also been a vital conduit for networking, helping me reach out to individuals in the field. Having a Corporate Mentor is one of my greatest privileges.

My interests cannot be limited to one field. Over the years I have come to love so many aspects of different studies, such as Mathematics, Drama, and Graphic Design. I believe what ties these together is the creative element. Drama explores the creativity of expression when performing, Graphic Design allows limitless freedom as you build products and designs from the ground up, and while Mathematics may not seem creative, as you delve into the deeper territories of Extension II with proofs, you need creativity to connect concepts and ideas.

My life after school is as concrete as my interests. I’m yet to find a specific area in which I want to study, but I know for sure I want to pursue higher education in University. I hope to focus on a career that allows me to maximise my creativity.

A Corporate Mentor is not just a guide, but a pathway to a future. Having a corporate Mentor has allowed me to expand my thinking past “I don’t know what I want to do.” and allowed me to see my future as “I don’t know what I want to do yet, but I’m going to do everything I can to figure it out.”. As a student, it is not often that you are provided any aid or direction when pursuing your future. A Corporate Mentor does exactly that, and is one of the most valuable connections I’ve made in my schooling.

What drives me as a person can span across a range of fields; from being in the spotlight as I belt my heart out on the stage, to predicting the genotypes of an offspring in biology class. I am always diligently searching for ways to learn new things and push past my comfort zone, reaching beyond.

With such diverse interests, I aspire to either embark on the career path of becoming a paediatrician or an actress - continuing my studies in university once I complete high school. I simply enjoy being active and aiding my community to be the best they can be, yet also love to explore the creative aspects of life!

Having a corporate mentor by my side throughout this journey has been highly reassuring. Being able to have a reliable, trustworthy, and inspiring mentor who I can reach out to has steadily shaped me, academically and mentally, to be ready for any encounters I may face, whether it be positive or negative.

I'm interested in activities that twist my brain and make me really ponder on the workings of the world. In particular, I love to watch fantastical movies that challenge the perspectives of the world and portray different human experiences. I enjoy watching mystery or investigative shows that really let me think and problem solve, I find it really enjoyable to predict what will happen next. Specifically, I am extremely passionate about exploring the impacts that human experiences can have on behaviours, studying psychology is a path I am heavily considering. Along with this, I am also interested in engineering and exploring the inner workings and foundations that have helped to shape our world. 

After my completion of high school, I aspire to study and work in psychology or engineering in university. I would love to work with children in some way and I would be honored to spend my life helping shape the next generations. Helping anyone through these careers will fulfill my desire to aid others and I desire to leave a positive impact on others, no matter how small.

To me, a corporate mentor is someone who provides the best advice. I am confident that I can go to my mentor about anything and I would come out of that conversation with guidance and direction for my next steps. My mentor provides me an opportunity to experience life after study, and gives me guidance to achieve my goals. In my final years of high school, there are an incredible amount of challenges I face and am often stumped on how to approach, but having a corporate mentor at my side allows me to gain insights and perspectives that I could only dream of having. Having a corporate mentor gives me the greatest advantage to my current life and life after study. 

I find a great interest in storytelling. This allows one to express one's imagination to create something incredible. For this reason, I love films and literature. They allow me to enter and experience the world someone else has created. Storytelling entertains me and stimulates my own imagination to create my own world. I am also fascinated with Modern History. I find it interesting to learn about the history of our world in the modern era. I find Modern History extremely compelling and I want to learn more. 

When I leave school, I aim to study to become a dentist. I have had this goal since year 8. However, I am uncertain if this is what I want to do. I am open to what comes my way and will take every opportunity to find an interesting career that fits my strengths.

The ability to have a corporate mentor is extremely valuable. My corporate mentor provides me insight into the future after school. They prepare me for challenges I may face in the future and provide me with guidance on how I can be successful in my HSC and after school. I am very thankful for the privilege of having a corporate mentor and will value every bit of guidance I am given. 

If I were to choose, I absolutely find the greatest joy in art. It's always interested me since I was a child and I feel as I grow, I've only found new things to love about it. Whether it be in the creation, or consumption of it; the divulgence of unearthed emotions, the provocation of complex ideas or even just the exploration of our imaginations, I truly don't think I could've found such interest in anything else.

I adore the idea of combining my everyday hobbies of art and technology to craft a future, worthwhile and enjoyable. With the expansion of digital media, there are suddenly so many options to harness my creativity and traverse through my own imagination. So, I would wholeheartedly love to look into different fields of graphic or web design.

Grappling with the reality of being in my last year of high school and tiptoeing the line of adulthood has absolutely shaken me, though I really believe having a Mentor has truly put me at ease. I learn so much, not just in preparing for the future, but also in powering through the seemingly dreary tasks of the everyday. From figuring out how to thoroughly plan using methods from incredible entrepreneurs, to finding out how to ask simple questions in the classroom and gain confidence; I really am eternally grateful for the guidance and support that my mentor provides.

I have a strong interest in baking as a hobby. Growing up, one of my favourite movies was "To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before". The protagonist was able to use baking to express her love and find comfort. It inspired me to bake but I soon realised I'm not the greatest cook! I also cherish spending quality time with my loved ones, whether it may be just simply hanging out or sharing a meal. In my downtime I love to just relax at home, watching movies. It helps me to recharge. 

After school, I am eager to delve into Nursing and explore the various opportunities this field has to offer. I am particularly interested in understanding the different areas of Nursing including patient care, healthcare management, and even advancements in medical technology. Additionally, after finishing my Nursing degree, I plan future study in Sonography. This would allow me to specialise in Diagnostic Imaging, a field which has always fascinated me and offers the chance to directly help patients in advanced medical procedures. I really look forward to making a meaningful impact in the healthcare industry.

Having a Corporate Mentor has been a valuable experience for me, as I begin my professional journey. My Mentor has provided me with guidance on how to navigate the Nursing field and has offered advice on career development. Having my Mentor's insights has been incredibly helpful in understanding the corporate world. My Mentor has also helped me develop the skills I need to succeed in my chosen career path.

From an early age, I’ve always been interested in helping others in any way that I can. Whether it's offering a listening ear, lending a hand in times of need, or simply being there for someone. I believe that small acts of kindness can make a world of difference. I am passionate about supporting people through challenges, showing empathy and striving to create an environment where others feel valued and understood all the time.

When I lived in the Philippines, my Grandpa always referred to me as his “Doctora” as I always helped him with little tasks such as plucking out his white hairs and bringing him his supplies. I believe that Nursing is the degree and career where I can make a meaningful difference. I would provide all the support I could to make my patients feel cared for and heard. My ultimate goal is to ensure their experiences at the hospital is positive.

Having a Corporate Mentor has been an extremely beneficial opportunity for me as I can ask for guidance and insights from someone who has years of experience. Through this, I can communicate any worries or questions I may have about my future and receive advice, thus allowing a less stressful mindset about entering a new era of my life in the future. Mentoring can also be helpful through making the connections I may need. My Mentor has also offered insight into having a healthy work-life and school balance, stress management and setting long and short term goals.
