Storytelling

Challenge & Selection:-

I found Storytelling as a wonderful tool to use again and again  when needed. People often misunderstand what people tell  others. A story is something with which we can connect and  also explain our views without the listeners getting offended or  bored. I wished to work as a primary school teacher for the  disabled children. So, storytelling is a very useful tool that I can use to connect to the little children. Storytelling, especially with the use of pictures or drawings may attract children to the story or an incident that happened which will help them in knowing  one part of how to lead their lives in a better way.

Application:-

My younger cousin is a mentally disabled guy. Though he  understands how to do things, making him understand why we  should do it or how it will help him in the future is something  that is hard for my family to make him understand.

Once, I took a story I read as a child, the ant and grasshopper  story to make him understand that working today will make  him happy and a better person tomorrow. I started with telling  him the story with pictures from an old storybook I had and  then I made him understand by explaining that studying and  understanding concepts today, can make him a happy and  successful person in the future.

Insight & Approach:-

This approach of mine towards my cousin was an eye-opener to my brother. It also made me realize two things, one was that  storytelling was a great tool that can be used in any part of our  daily lives, and two that the part of me where I wanted to  become a primary school teacher to the disabled and guide  them through a good path in my earlier days was not a bad  decision.

And now, this course made me understand how I can use this  tool and where all I can use it, I can now work as a teacher part-

time and also take up a full-time job in the field of business I  studied.

Thank You.
