The End of the Road, But the Beginning of a New Horizon.

As a freshman in the College of Business at Loyola University I was involved in the Executive Mentor Program where I grouped with six of my peers and three Executive Mentors. My Executive Mentors, John, Chris, and Rodney, were three successful, well experienced role models who shared their experiences, struggles, and challenges of college, work and life. John, Chris and Rodney were open books; they created a comfortable, laid back atmosphere which caused us to be open books. The more they shared, the more I learned. After the second Executive Mentor Meeting the objective of the whole program was quite evident; to give us students a few of the ingredients to our success. This program gave us the opportunity to learn outside the classroom and sometimes over dinner. I valued the last Executive mentor meeting the most. Although Rodney was absent, he was replaced with two of Chris’s close friends from high school who happened to be quite successful and well respected in their community. They gave a taste of each outré , with the perspectives of the bankers, business owner and insurance consultant. They shared their mistakes and their high lights of their careers. They gave us tips and keys to make our own paths to success, all over a high scale dinner, which added a major bonus to our meeting. I really did appreciate how open and sharing everyone was which made the night quite informative and surprisingly fun.
In the beginning of the semester I was ignorant to the program so I did not expect much , but once I got into the groove of things, the program exceeded my expectations by far, which is the best factor according to my infamous Professor Howard!
If there were other knowledge hungry freshman out there lingering seeking for an Executive Mentor, I would advise them to apply to Loyola University New Orleans, take Professor Howard’s class and catch every opportunity thrown at them and always remember that you can only get out what you put in. As the fall semester comes to a close, I look forward to the next semester. I am looking forward to all the opportunities that are ahead of me in the semesters to come.
