I made a circle in Blender and added a mirror modifier to it after deleting one-half of the circle. The mirror showed while in object mode, but when I switched to edit mode to start sculpting my character; the mirror disappeared.

How can I make the Mirror Modifier work properly?

If you enable the Triangle option next to the box one you can then also edit the transformation caused by the modifier on edit mode

When enabled, the final modified geometry will be shown in edit mode and can be edited directly.

For a detailed description on the use of these options read this page of the Blender manual.
