Well as you may have heard at TAP… I’ve been promoted to Trainee Management as a US mentor!! I am filled with so many emotions right now, it’s unreal! After being a TMA for 10 months and 23 days, it really does feel good to have finally achieved what I’ve been working towards! I wanted to thank Dean for giving me this incredible opportunity, I am soooooo so excited for what the future holds. I am also super excited to announce that the one and only, FluffyUnicorn_, will be assisting me!
Joining Trainee Management has been a dream of mine since the day I became a trainee. During my time as a TMA, I have had the pleasure to work with 3 amazing mentors who I can gladly call good friends of mine. I have learned so much from all of them and I couldn’t be more grateful for that.
As for my goals and current teams, not much is going to change. Seeing as I’m a Sr. Mod now, I will be a member of the Reports Patrol Assistance team and I will remain as a member of TSS. There are a few teams within Trainee Management which I am interested in and that I do hope to join some time. Some of those teams include the Documents team, the Trials team and maybe even Recruitment but that would be later, mentoring is my primary focus as of right now. As far as any other sub teams go though, there isn’t really anything I plan on applying for, though that may change.
And now, here is the huge list of thank yous. If your name doesn’t appear here, I do apologize.
Dean - I once again, cannot thank you enough for providing me with this opportunity! I wanted to personally thank you for always being there for me and always listening to the different ideas I have. You really made me feel welcome on the team and for that, I am really appreciative.
HuskieALS - Huskie, you have played a HUGE part in my experience as a staff member. Not only were so you encouraging and kind to me when I was a trainee, but along every step of the way in my staff journey. You are always there to listen to me when I have a concern and you are always there to just talk, even when I have the most random things on my mind. You are one of the people who truly inspired me to apply for TMA and you are a role model to all our mentees too. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me and I look forward to working alongside you even more in the future!
Corgee and Whif - I cannot even thank the 2 of you enough for everything you did for me as a trainee and after. You guys were essentially the first 2 people I met on the staff team and you were the ones who were there to provide me with the best experience possible. The warm and caring but really fun environment you guys provided me with is something I hope to provide for all of my mentees to come!
Geothermal - Geo!! You played a huge part in my experience here! You are essentially the reason I even became a TMA in the first place. You were always there to provide criticism for me to help me become the best TMA possible and getting to assist you was a great experience, I’m glad that we got to become closer as a result.
Dulciloquy/GarrettTheFaux - The 2 of you have played a huge role in my performance as a staff member. You have always been there to help me improve in the areas where I was lacking and you always gave me things to work for to perform to the best of my abilities. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for me while I was your monitee. Mod Coord is still bad though and Trainee Management is good. :>
Dogester - LUKE!! You have always been so supportive of me, even before I became a staff member. You were one of the first people who told me they believed I could become a staff member in the first place and that gave me so much confidence to reapply for trainee in the first place. I always love the conversations we have and we seriously need to have them more. Ily <3
Cabob - You silly goose! You know how I feel about ya Thank you for being a great teammate in SSM2 but more importantly, an even better irl friend. I’m so glad that we get to hang out together even if it’s in the car on Fridays after class. You have always been supportive and I like that we can have a good laugh all the time.
FluffyUnicorn_ - MARY!!!!! I still remember the day when you were promoted to mod and when I asked you which teams you were interested in, you said TMA. I also remember the day you were promoted to TMA! I was so excited for you because your excellent personality was something that would be great for the team. Now I am so excited that we officially get to be a team together! I look forward to what the future holds!!
Twist - Alycia, you have become such a good friend of mine and I’m so glad that we get to chat on a daily basis. I like the fact that I can spam cat pictures to someone without being judged for it and that I can speak to you about my issues. You can always make me laugh and it’s something I’m really grateful for.
SuperiorPhoenix - Chase! You have always been such an incredible, supportive friend. We started talking way before I became a trainee and I must say, seeing the way you were succeeding as a staff members is what inspired me to apply as well. It’s been awesome having you as my MCA for the last several months and I truly hope to see you on Mod Coord in the near future.
All my former mentees - You guys are all amazing. Getting to work with each and every one of you has been an experience to remember. I’m so glad I got to know all of you even if I wasn’t your TMA for a long time. You all taught me really important things and it has really allowed me to grow as not only a TMA, but a person.
Other people in no particular order - xAirr, XtremeLucas543, Ygritte, Kanebridge, SavGhost, FriMat98, DuubleFault, MotherOfPandas, Firestar891, Diar, all of Trainee Management.
I look forward to what the future has to offer me as a part of Trainee Management. I look forward to having so many more incredible experiences with future mentees and members of the team! Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way, I really couldn’t have done it without you.
