Since I've been asking my mentees to do reflections... I ought to raise the bar myself right. Haha... The past three weeks have been filled with mentoring sessions ranging from twenty minutes to over an hour... I am thankful that most of them took it seriously and not for granted... am especially touched when they actually remembered the appointments without prompting or reminding and turned up ready to chat.

Seeing through the lens of my personality and putting on the perfectionist in me, it was easy for me to be put off by the nonchalance of some who seemingly don't care - they either miss their sessions, or they don't submit what they're supposed to submit.

Well... was a little put off initially, then I was reminded that we may find extremes even in small sample sizes. Putting things in perspective, I really ought to be thankful for the bulk of them who're taking it seriously which I translate in part as a form of respect... and I am. :)

Just had an hour long session with one of my boarding programme mentees... I would usually jump straight into discussing progress... but somehow I decided to keep it open ended from the start and asked if he'd anything to talk about.

Whatever that transpired... well. If only every session is as such - being frank and talking about things that really matter. Well okay... there were such sessions with others as well... just that they're pretty rare bah.

Haha... alright that's all I want to jot down for now... till next time! (actually I'm cutting this short.. my head suddenly starts to spin by itself.. time to rest!!)
