How my mentor has helped me

It was necessary that my mentor explained the assignment to me because I started the course late due to my registration time. This motivated me to do my assignment by giving me confidence and assurance that I was doing the right thing. It also enabled me to have a good understanding on exactly what I needed to do even in my referencing.

Reflection on my Personal Tutorial and Mentor Meeting

I was given the opportunity by my lecturer to demonstrate my lack of understanding concerning the assignment we were asked to do. She explained to me in details what I was meant to do considering the fact that I started my course late. After doing my assignment, I showed it to her to make show that I was doing the right thing. We had a meeting discussing how to reference your work in Refworks and the advantage of using it.

LEARNING LINES

I was born in Nigeria and that was where I started my nursery school and walked my way up to primary school. Then I moved to the United Kingdom where I started my secondary school and also completed my GCSEs. Afterwards I went to sixth form where I studied Combined GNVQ Business and Health & Social Care. When I finished with sixth form, I went into college and took up an Advanced course in Health & Social Care. So I decided that I didn't want to go into university yet, I then found a job as a receptionist.
Now in 2010 I decided that I was ready to go back to school so here I am now.
