User:Yab Acronym
Hi everyone and thanks for visiting my Wiki page.
Who am I?
My name is Yab Acronym and in real life I come from England. I have been a resident of Second Life since January 2007 and am a Second Life Mentor and SL Mentor Greeter. I can most often be found helping out on Help Islands or Infohubs, though I do visit Orientation Islands occasionally.
I only speak English, am not especially skilled as a builder or scripter but am willing to help anybody who is having a problem if I am able to. If I don't know the answer to your problem I will certainly try to find it, and in helping you I will learn something myself. I am however a very experienced shopper (especially for shoes) as my inventory will testify!
In real life I am a qualified IT trainer teaching to adult learners at many different levels. And yes Yab is an Acronym!
Why did I become a Mentor?
Well, I have always been happy to help people if they are having problems and becoming a Mentor made it official. I also remember when I first started in Second Life and how confusing it was to begin with. I want to help new residents so that they don’t get frustrated and leave before discovering how wonderful Second Life is.
I also remember the first person in Second Life who really helped me. They weren’t a Mentor, but just spent some time with me and helped with my appearance. They actually gave me some $L to spend on clothes, up to then I had only used freebies.
My aim is to make new residents first experience of Second Life as enjoyable as possible.
