[ale] [90dw-lcthw] Defining your success

[leamhall at gmail.com (Leam Hall)]

We had two students and one mentor for the pre-meeting. I felt things 
went well, but will admit to a rare bout of holiday cheer. Others may 
feel differently.

If you are considering joining, please think about your personal goals, 
and how you will measure success. Goals will help motivate you to set 
aside lesser tasks and stay focused. How you measure success will be 
your own source of joy. There is no reason to accept someone else's 
diktat on how, what, or when you should learn.

This also means mentors can set personal goals and define their own 
success as well. Maybe you choose to help the project along and take 
notes so you can run something similar? Maybe you just enjoy helping 
newbies? We all have room for growth, what do you want to work on?

If the question comes up, "Is just two students worth the effort?", the 
answer is "ABSOLUTELY!"

I'm looking forward to this, and hope you are as well.
