| There are many ways to be a Mentor. Each Mentor I have met is different.
| | [[Image:Bendersmall.jpg]] |
| Personally, I enjoy meeting new residents and helping in the OI's and HI's. One-on-one personal attention is very useful to the lost and confused! I also like to collect 3 or 4 of them together, gather them all together on 'the other side' on an IM channel, and we all go off and explore places like Spaceport Alpha. We have fun by parachuting from the top of the Saturn moon rocket. They learn to ''Really Fly'' (with a flight band, and by riding a rocket), to find and follow me on the map (select me in the Map->Friends pulldown, and MINIMIZE the map, don't close it), and I usually end up helping set up their video by watching Mars and Earth under the rocket park. Video is new and wonderful when projected onto a ball !
| | |
| I also encourage new residents to keep their home spot for a while,,such as Hanja or Ahern, so they develop a sense of community with others.
