Reflection : 22/11/19 – Service

|

How might collaboration have been important to success this term?

In my service, we have been interacting with Intellectual Disability people, working with them to improve their skills on floorball and basketball for the client’s aim in the Special Olympics Singapore 2020.

The group had planned some small activities for each of the sports, but was told by the client that they will be having the specific skill activities planned for us to do with the clients. We did not have much detail on what the Specific Olympics were going to be about and how much skills the clients had.

I and my partner has been working with one of the clients for the past 2 weeks, and have seen some skills that the client already has and what can be improved for them. Our collaboration is important in order to interact and help them reach their goals, by understanding and finding out what is comfortable for them, and how we can keep them on task so that we know that they are able to understand what we are teaching and learn from it.

To Understand Me

|

What I value when working with others are all the ideas that are given by different people in the group. I listen and respect all thoughts given, as I like to think and see how different people think and feel about problems and tasks given.

The number one thing you can do to support me the best when we work together is to encourage me in the conversations and be open-minded to the ideas I give, as most of the time, I am not that confident in my own thoughts.

When it comes to tech, I’m good at designing, and I need to get better at knowing different websites and ways of developing my skill.

What people sometimes misunderstand about me when we are teamed up together is that I might not be having a great time being in their group to work or have the conversation together.

I think of myself as more introverted, in group work, you may notice me not giving ideas or talking. Please remember that I prefer to listen to conversations more than getting involved in talking.
