This is the day… the start of the week to prepare for the fairytale valentine’s program! It sounds exciting… but for sure it will require too much effort to fulfill this much- awaited program. We started good but when afternoon came, our thoughts and feelings were not congruent. Then, our emotions were intense.
Due to the observation of our supervisor during the resident’s rehearsal of Hakuna Matata, he had a talk with us afterwards. I was not aware of what was actually happening for I am busy with the castle which is the program’s back drop. Honestly, we were also having our problems with our resources in making this castle. We wanted to start but we can’t. With these unpromising events, he called our attention and confronted us regarding this very important matter. Each of us delivered our feelings; most were pressured, and others were frustrated, disappointed. I said I was tired. It was a time to disclose and realize everything. We did not expect it to become very emotional where a lot of tears shed. It seemed we were like dominoes: one started crying that made everybody cried afterwards. I was the last person to tell what I feel and I strongly claimed my hidden ill feelings with our supervisor. It went spontaneously those words kept flowing out in my mouth. Thanks to him for he has always been a good listener and never took feedbacks negatively. For him, it will always help individuals to grow whether these are positive or negative. With our feelings expressed towards everything that was happening, he contemplated for a while and had to share his realizations towards what happened. Finally, we discussed the “what to do now?” and the lessons I learned:
1. Be assertive. Learn to express your feelings rather than keeping it within you. It is necessary to let others know what you really feel.
2. Start with ourselves. Everything should start with me for everything happens because of our choice. Therefore, do not blame others with your misfortunes for it has always been a “you.”
3. Be responsible. Learn to be accountable not just with the tasks assigned to you but also with others’.
4. Set standards. Never be contented of having a substandard. Aim high and never stop believing with what you can do.
5. Explore. Give yourself a moment to assess your strengths and weaknesses; in what you have done and what you have failed to do. Take time to realize.
6. It’s your choice. It is always up to you. The consequence of what you are now is because of what you have decided and chosen. Do not blame others.
7. We are more important than our tasks. Do not be so hard with yourself. Take it easy.
It’s truly true that learning is a continuous process because it always happen everyday. Thank God for this day! Thank God for making me realize that I need to express my feelings so it won’t be hard for me and for others! Smiles”,
