I’m new to mentor, as such I haven’t really dialed in what the metrics are across all meaningful considerations. But I will use one of my own here, and that is: Are you someone I think could be trusted to be left unsupervised with a small amount of authority to do what the mission dictated without fear of having to deal with the consequences of your actions later?
Right now I can’t say I feel that way about you just based on your reactions in the earlier mentioned incident, but mostly based on this thread.
I understand your impatience with Nessie and why you reacted in such a way. But if you failed to recognize how a correction could have been issued and followed through with someone who’s willing to listen and learn, how are you going to handle either issuing or receiving corrections with someone who may not be willing to do either? This by itself is a critical life skill.
You’ll have my support when you can demonstrate this. I’d suggest in your next application or reapplication to include examples of this growth and progress through logs where you show patience, compassion, and restraint when dealing with people struggling to learn, or taking corrections on their behavior.
