self-reflection

Human self-reflection is the capacity of humans to exercise introspection and the willingness to learn more about their fundamental nature, purpose and essence
Self-reflection can help you recognize the progress you made in a lesson, whilst simultaneously allowing you to consider improvements that you could make.We learn by experiences and mistakes. But, unless we question ourselves about what our experiences mean and think actively about them, we won’t make any changes. Self-reflection enables you to move from just experiencing, into understanding.

It was with this good reason that we were asked to self reflect on our past since we joined the university. and for me i made a little progress i would say had few short comings and as well had my high moments and learnt equally from both of them

 i joined the university being an introvert had a small circle of friends but to some strange reasons PPD made me a little bit loose and i became friendly with my classmates and i would say it ain't that bad having a bigger circle after all

At the beginning when i joined it was a little difficult for me  to settle on my studies it was my first time ever owning and using a laptop and as expected i was very slow and could not finish my practicals exams or would take more time to complete a simple assignment. it took me as well more time for some concepts to sink in. I knew this was my weakness and as they say birds of the same feather flocks together and do i looked for an accountability partner in my class who helped me with the computer related subjects while i helped on other areas. it was a mutual benefit and this help me progress more faster than i thought i would.

Basketball has been my passion for just a few years back when i started playing and so i joined the basketball team and by grace i happened to be among the key role players in the team. some games we lost others we lost its the nature of competition. Ive learnt from our mistake and have tried to adjust on them and i would strongly believe that my game has moved from level to another.

self reflections helps us to identify our weaknesses our strengths and we can come up with strategies to build up to another level

Trust Walk

Trust Walk Activity

I missed this session but as i was told it was an activity based on trust. one was was to be blind folded and get guidance fro another person

Purpose:

This activity was designed to help you know how you feel when you trust someone else.

During the activity

  The role of the individual as publisher and receiver in the communication process were tested. effective interpersonal communication was at test.

Demonstration and evaluation of effective use of verbal and non-verbal symbols in interpersonal communication.

Students were challenged to distinguish the various communication factors that improve or limit the effectiveness of communication in relational systems.

  Effective listening was one key factor to make the activity successful and evaluate the importance of effectively listening and help from the one you are trusting.

Stairs, where we stopped the curtain with the steps and where they stopped. There were white spots on the street, and if someone stepped on them, they could fall. and for that reason undivided attention to the teacher was required. In the first round they had to follow the path and hit a rock. In the second round they had to hit two stones and concrete.

 In the first round, almost all the students did the piece with the correct instructions. But in the second round, some students forgot what to do. Some forgot to hit the stone after finding concrete blocks. 

 

Procedure was, 

1.This exercise is done in pairs.

Select a friend from the batch to be your partner for this exercise. It should not be someone you know very well.

One person will act as a guide for the other partner, who is blindfolded.

2.The guide’s task is to lead the the blinded partner around the environment, and stimulate as many of his/her senses as possible except sight

3.After about 15 minutes, roles were swapped and the exercise continued

emphasis was made on the following areas

1. During the time you are being a guide, think about what you are doing or saying to communicate to your blinded partner that you can be trusted, and when could assure your partner to trust you
2. During the time you are the blindfolded focus on what your guide is doing or saying to develop trust with you

At the end of the day there was a lesson as usual.the lesson was that as a fact we will have to work with so many many people and some points there are things we will not have knowledge about and are bound to put our trust on other people to guide us through such situations. but we should be vigilante and always be aware of our environment and people we are putting our trust in.
