My experience about mentorship
Today I decided to share some very personal thoughts and moments of my AIESEC life. And today I want to tell you about who does it feel to be a mentee.
When I only joined AIESEC I never believed that some other guys can help me in my growth, personal development, achievement of my life goals and so on. And because of that I had only 1 meeting with my mentors from AIESEC.
I do remember that meeting as if it was only yesterday. And now I can say that the questions are the same as they are now. Same questions, different mentors, different myself. And because of that difference in myself I can now see who mentorship can help me and I actively seek for more and more involvement with my mentor.
Now few words about who he is:) His name is Dima Melnik and he is AIESEC alumnus (actually very old one). Some of you had an opportunity to see him on discussion club, some of you will have that opportunity in the future. I met that guy only few months ago, but from the very first meeting and till now every time I talk to him or he talks to me my head is blown away. I don't know how to explain this. I just can say that after my mentorship meeting it seems to me that I am a different person now:)
Yeap, all of this is really very difficult to understand until you try. The last this I want to tell you: be proactive in your learning. In future try to find yourself mentor outside of AIESEC, somebody more experienced in life and somebody you will like the same as I do now. Good luck in your discovery journey.
