 Real World Academy:

  • Real World Academy lets any high school student or parent hire an "Agent," a customized counselor and life coach. But simply having an agent does not mean that you will succeed. Students need to take initiative and self-actualize.
  • Real World Academy is unique in its industry ties. We will help any of our interested students find an internship or a mentor.

Topics:

  • Why is it important to have a mentor? What advantages do mentors confer? Are there different types of mentors? Career mentor, motivational mentor, teacher? Can a teacher or a professor be a mentor?
  • How to find a mentor. Does this happen organically or are there organizations to help you find mentors? Does a mentor's interests or skills have to exactly match yours? Can you have more than one mentor?
  • Timing.  At what stage in your life would you benefit from a mentor?
