I'm a mentor with AIME at Murdoch University. I do the Outreach
program with two year eleven students and tutor squads at two
schools. I first heard about AIME at uni. I was walking around on
Market Day, looking at all the stalls and tables and one stood out to
me. Vicky Burrows explained the program to me and it sounded
amazing. I had already started my course and the idea of working with
high school kids seemed to make sense with what I was studying. I
knew then that I had to do it.
The first sessions were great. They were a lot of fun and I found that I
already knew a few of the other mentors there. It was great seeing
everyone so enthusiastic and excited about this program. The
Mentees were great as well. I think we were all a little nervous about
the first meeting. It's always difficult meeting new people at first but it
all dissipated so quickly and all the Mentors and Mentees at our table
were laughing and joking and having a great time.
The Cultural Awareness sessions were great. It was informative and I
learned a lot. The program overall was amazing. We met a lot of
people and learned a lot of things. The Other Elections were a great
way of getting the Mentees out of their shells. It was great to be able
to work with them and to see what they thought were important and
to have them share their opinions on what mattered to them. The
whole program has been a great way for everyone involved to learn
and share.
