Example Reflection – Storytelling

Storytelling is a magical tool that I use most of the time in my class.As a teacher ,I

works as a mentor of few students. I have the responsibility to manage student

expectations and to communicate their own expectations about how they will interact with others.Finally, I have to evaluate men-tee's level of knowledge, skill, and

ability . But every time I am concerned about their mental health.I spend a lot of time “opening people up” and finding ways to motivate them to improve their states.

I can humanize themselves through sharing stories about my own academic and professional journey. I also share my mistakes and failures too, as these are often where our biggest lessons are learned. It will also help them to be aware that challenges will arise, and the way I dealt with the situation might also help them gain insight about how to build resilience.

I have a story about using storytelling. One of the mentee has very much attention disorder problem.His personal life was not healthy too. So one day I told him about

my past experience. I told him that when I graduated form college I don’t have any future goal. My graduation number was not very satisfactory.But I want to ahead my future with higher studies.. Suddenly I got a call from a reputed university to

pursue my higher studies. Somehow I manage to qualify in the entrance examination. Though my result was not very good but still I have a faith on myself and I love the subject very much.

This worked really well. He really needed individual attention for that brief time, and it ended up with that and a true support. He understand the true value of education and calmed down, her mother, who had become worried about him, calmed down, and everyone around them calmed down. Peace reigned again in there little family.
