6- Here's to a new beginning!!!
When I first went into job training, I was nervous and scared out of my mind about what we were going to do and cover. I didn't think I would be a good Peer Mentor and doubted myself a lot because I was not that confident in myself as a leader. I feel a lot better now that training is almost over and we have covered a lot over the course of this semester. The activity that helped reassure me the most about this job was when we got into pairs and set up a fake one on one meeting and took turns being the mentor or mentee. If we hadn't done that activity a lot in that class , then I wouldn't have felt prepared and more confident in myself. I have learned a lot through this training and learned a lot about patience and working in a group effectively. I am still nervous about when I actually lead a group meeting with my actual students but I feel more prepared than before. I would like to do more practice one on one meetings and discuss what we will be teaching the students more. I would also like to go over the Pass form more and get to know the other Peer Mentors better.

I think you're going to amazing as a mentor. Its understandable to be nervous... I think we are! I agree, I would like to practice more. I feel like we would all be more confident if we did!
ReplyDeleteWe really have covered a lot in the few weeks we have had class, and I feel like it has really helped us all be more comfortable with what we're doing. Before this, I never really considered myself a leader, but going through this has made me recognize I have the ability to be one! The Pass form is definitely something I would like to go over as well, I completely forgot to write about that in mine.
ReplyDeleteI agree also that the fake one on one really did prepare us for what it is going to be like in the fall. I also like how you thought we should prepare more for the group meetings which i completely agree on too. I think that you will make a great Peer Mentor!
