Great Expectations Activity:

Great Expectations Activity Slide • Are the following statements True or False? • It is best to have no expectations about ementoring, that way you can’t get let down. • Your mentor is not there to help you with your homework. • You should write a message to your mentor AT LEAST twice a day. • By the time you finish ementoring your mentor should know everything about you, even very personal information and vice versa. • Your mentor is likely to be quite old and won’t really understand you. • Your mentor is a great source of information and can give you lots of advice and support.

Ementoring will… Give you someone to talk to about your future Help improve writing and IT skills Help build your confidence Help you to think about your next steps – education or work – and how to get there! Allow you more time to think about questions than you would have with face-to-face mentoring What’s In It For Me? “It has helped me to be confident in myself and to study hard to get what I want”

It will be held until your coordinator or BrightsideUNIAID can check it to make sure it’s ok. Key filter words: email, meet, Arsenal… Get Protected!
