“I file tickets, sometimes record sheets of who is present,” senior Maryam Salehi said about her mentorship job at the courthouse. She joined the mentorship program at HHS to gain hands-on work experience. For the first half of the semester, the class learns about business ethics. For the second, they go out and learn from a job place.

“[In the beginning of the semester] I learned all the different ethics, and had group discussions,” Salehi said, “[Then] I got to leave school. I wanted to try something out of school.” Salehi has to stay for one to three hours and does filing, recording, and observing. Salehi decided to work in the court house because she really liked political science. She has been in debate and loved all of her government classes.

“I definitely want a federal job. This mentorship program really settled that for me,” Salehi said.

Her bit of advice? “Do mentorship because it will give you first hand experience on your career.”
