Comments from our participants -
Mandy,
I just wanted to say thank you for all of help this semester. I realize that you are also a student and I really appreciate that you take the time out of your busy schedule to help the lost souls of first semester out. Your reviews for "Partners For Success" for 3902, your words of wisdom for pharmacology and the reviews for 3802 helped to give us some direction. I would not be doing as well as I am without you.
Thanks again,
Teresa P.

Mandy, I don't know how I would have made it through this semester without you!!! Your notes and study guides provided so much supplemental informationthat just made everything click! I have heard from classmates how their Juntos mentor does not make an effort to contact them or provide helpful information,and when I hear this, I feel so lucky! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to throw out helpful advice and reviews to me-without it,I'd be lost.

I am doing very well this semester thanks to you.Take care and good luck with the rest of this semester, and hopefully I will see you before finals. Again, thank you so much!

I have received tremendous amount help from Carl L. and Merisa P. during my second semester. They have kept up with me by email and in person through out the semester. I would like to see them helping me during next semester as well.

Just to let you know Mandy L. has been a great help for 1st semester. She has been very helpful with any questions and concerns that I have had. She is always willing to meet for sessions to go over any material that I didn't understand. Mandy has maintained contact with me via-email or by phone to make sure everything is going okay. Her study guides have been an enormous help on helping me focus more on a certain areas, and being able to understand the material in a more precise way. Thank you for all you do to make Juntos agreat success.Thanks

I wanted to let you know that Marisa P. has been a great help to me and many of my friends this semester and last. Each of the content reviews that she conducts helps us to focus our attention on material that we may otherwise overlook. Additionally, she avails herself to us outside of scheduled Juntos review times and donates her experiences and expertise on written assignments that would otherwise have us in a complete jumble of knots and anxiety. It is because of Marisa's dedication to the Juntos program and her generosity of personal time that many of us have been very successful this semester. She is one your hardest working mentors and I think with more student leaders like her the Juntos program will continue to be an asset to future students.
Sincerely,
Sydne L.

Marisa P. is a great contribution to Juntos Podemos. Marisa's content reviews has helped myself and many other students on test preparations and study techniques. She is not my "official mentor" but she has helped me on many occasions, so I have requested to be her "adopted" protege'. She gives great advises and is so generous in dedicating her time to help others. In my opinion, myself and other students would not be as successful in nursing school without joining Juntos Podemos, and the help of Marisa P.

Dear Mandy, Between all the help and encouragement from you and Janet, my first term at UTHSCSA has been a success. I have more confidence in myself and my study habits. It is nice that you all are doing so much for those a term behind as I know it requires a lot of your "free" time to help out. Again, thank you so very much. If there is anything I can do for you, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Julianne S.

Marisa P. has been my mentor for the past two semesters. She has been a tremendous source of support for me. I can't thank her enough for all of her advice and time. She should be the poster child for the program that you envisioned! In the past two semesters she has helped me with everything from putting together my first notebooks to providing emotional support when I just needed a friend! She has provided at least 90% of our formal exam reviews and her guidance helped me and several friends get A's last semester.I genuinely appreciate all of her assistance. It has made all the difference in the world to me.

Carol L. was my mentor for Juntos Podemos. She was an excellent mentor and helped me with my studies throughout the semester. She was always available and enthusiastic about helping her proteges. Carol kept in contact with me by e-mail, by phone, and around school. She was very active in our review sessions.I am so thankful to have a wonderful mentor like Carol L.
Thank you

Carol has been my mentor in the first and second semester. She is always very helpful and supportive to her protege. We often keep in touch through meetings and emails. I myself would not stay in the nursing program without the support from my mentor or Juntos Podemos program.
Sincerely,
Second semester nursing student,
Trang L.
