Example Reflection – Storytelling

Challenge and selection

I always try to use the storytelling tool because it really works. I am a university student. So I have lots of friends there. Some of my friends always feel depressed because they don’t get good grades and they also have some financial problems. For these reasons they always remain alone and far away from the other friends. And this type of behavior makes them more depressed. But in this situation they only need is inspiration and motivation. So I try to spend lots of time with them and also try to motivate them with my stories. Sometimes they feel motivated and share their own stories. This sharing makes them happy and reliefs them from their depression and sometimes they find the way of their life. That’s why I use this tool.

Application

I have a story when I was using storytelling tool. A few days ago I was talking and sharing my experience with my friends about how I overcome my depression and solve the problems whenever I am in trouble. I told a story to my friends. Hearing the story everyone feel motivated but one of my friend did not feel well. He was upset hearing the story because some days ago he faced a big problem. I request him to share the problem with us. When we heard from him we were actually shocked. His father had a heart stroke and he was so tensed thinking about his father and also they had lots of family crisis during that time.

Insight & Approach

That story was really heart touching. But after the incident, his father recovered so early and now he is doing well. Well, then I also shared mine. I also was in the same situation when my grandmother was hospitalized and how we looked after her and overcome the situation. Both of the stories were the same and that made everyone emotional but the thing is that both of us faced the problem and overcome it with our own effort. I am still learning and I have to do lots of things in the future and I am sure that the storytelling tool will help me to move forward. The course teaches me a new way of thinking. I am an engineering student and

hopefully, my ideas will work. I think this will be an asset to me and I am really thankful for it.
