Mighty Girl Mentor-September

Once a month, we are getting together with our little sisters in Mrs. Hall's 3rd grade class to have a mighty mentor from our community speak to us! We are highlighting women in various careers and callings to share about their career and experience with mentors. 







This month, we had the opportunity of speaking with my dear friend, Mrs. Sami MacDonald, a real estate agent in Charlotte, NC. 


The girls researched real estate on their ipads. Then they brainstormed questions about real estate, kindness (to integrate with our "Choose Kind" PBL), and mentors to ask Mrs. Sami, including: 

-What inspired you to be a real estate agent?
-What is the best part of your job and why?
-Who are your mentors?
-Do you mentor anyone?
-Why is kindness important to your job? Is it always easy to be kind? 









After face-timing with Mrs. Sami, the girls reflected on what they learned and thought about if they would consider real estate as a future career. 


"Kindness is very important to being a real estate agent." -Sarah


-"I want to make a difference. I want to be a real estate agent to help others like Mrs. Sami." -Hannah Dunn


"I learned that there is a lot of kindness that goes on being a real estate agent." -Baylee


"I learned that her mentor was her dad. She always smiled and showed kindness." -Allie F. 


"Kindness will be important to any job." -Hannah S. 



Here are the girls now considering real estate as their future career! Be on the lookout for these girls in 2025 :) 


Mrs. Sami even posted about us with her company, Savvy and Company! Learn more about Savvy and Company here

Way to go, mighty girls!!! :)
