second post of basic helping skills

Hi guys, welcome to my second post. In the previous post, I have mentioned my experience of first time attending the Basic Helping Skills class. Now, I’m going to share with you all about my feeling after a few months what I have learned during BHS class. And also my feeling after completing the two assignment (individual assignment and group assignment) that have been given by lecturer.

This is how i felt after i complete my assignment. Full of joy.  

                After finishing the individual assignment, I find that it helps me to know myself better. Why do I say so? This is because this assignment requires me to write about myself, my family, and the ways of managing my own behavior.  In this part, it enables me aware of the shortcomings or weakness that have existed on my body for a long time. I learned to control my emotion and behavior so that people around me do not get hurt innocently. In everything, I also learned to think twice before going to do something. The most interesting part for me in this assignment is the happiness project about three good things that happened in a day. Through this task, I am able to try to appreciate everything, even though it is a small thing that has happened in daily life. I learned that we should be grateful and thankful for every moment when some good things happen around us.

                For group assignment, we have to record a 15 to 20 minutes video about the helping session. From the beginning, I feel very tension and stress with it. We never have the ‘video-making’ experience and our group don’t have the teamwork spirit. The deadline for this assignment is going to due and the time for us to complete it only left one week. The time is too short for us. This makes us getting more stressful. Plus, I have mentioned before that I’m a quiet person and not good in communication. I forced myself to open up my mouth, speak with my broken English, one or two short simple sentences. But still, I’m afraid that I will ruin this group assignment and disappointed my teammate. Fortunately, I have a very good and responsible teammate. I used to call her a ‘top student’. In every assignment, she will ensure her teammate have completed their work. When there is something wrong in the work, she will correct us immediately. Under her supervision and guidance, our assignment successfully completed. Last but not least, I would like to say thank you to her for being a special friend to me. She is very thoughtful and patient person. She always encourages me and persuades me do not easily give up. Must go forward and be brave enough to chase dreams!

Thank you for reading and have a nice day.
