When I joined SL, I made a commitment that would not allow my SL and RL to ever cross paths. The more time I spend in-world and the more friends I grow to cherish, that commitment gets harder to hold. But the internet can be a dangerous place and must be approached with utmost caution! Never let your guard down. I will continue to treat SL as the vehicle it was designed to be...a Second Life. For everything we cannot achieve, build or possibly attain in RL, SL grants our wishes with the help of pixie dust and a spark of Imagination ;) | When I joined SL, I made a commitment that would not allow my SL and RL to ever cross paths.

Hiya and welcome to my Wiki ;) I became a mentor in early July 2008 and since that time I have found my niche in working OIs and HIs. The one benfit I have is that I live, sleep, dream and breath Disney! The philosophies of Disney are "that you never get a 2nd chance to make a first impression on your guest". I know the importance of making the new resident feel special and welcomed. As many mentors have stated, if it wouldn't have been for a mentor's personal touch, I never would have stayed in SL. That statement is as true for me as it is for them.
So far, I have learned much about the mentoring process and have developed my own style. It seems to be working and I'm thrilled about that! However I always pick up new tips when sharing a location with other mentors and watch how they approach different situations.
