Example Reflection – Storytelling 

 Challenge & Selection 

 Storytelling is something that I use to express myself . I ’m a college student and along with my studies I   also work for a private day care centre near my residence . A lot of kids coming their having either both   their parents working or are brought up by single parents . Children can sometimes be fussy , adamant and   difficult to handle . I share stories of my life with a dash of fantasy or humor sometimes in order to pacify   them and help them grow their imagination or entertain them sometimes . 

 Application 

 So I started using storytelling in my work life when I was asked to handle a bunch of 10 kids around 10 to   13 years of age as an interview process . They were special kids and need altogether different kind of   attention and environment . Since I never had any experience handling kids before it was quite a task for   me . But that ’s when the idea of telling a story hit me . I started with the story of a king and his four wives   that stood for beauty , knowledge , popularity and love . I was glad that the kids loved the story since they   were hooked up till the end and my day was saved . I was elated to know that my interviewers liked my   unique way of storytelling and thought what I did was not only entertaining but educating as well and that   landed me the job . As I continue working there I found that my stories do have a lot of impact on these   kids . One of the kids there who has learning disability has picked up writing his own short stories and   sharing it with his friends . 

 Insight and Approach 

 The mother of the kid told me that her son had started showing signs of learning disability from a very   young age and that hampered him a lot in adjusting into new environments , meet new people or make   new friends . She used to be tensed regarding the happiness and growth of her child as a social animal and   how he will adjust with people growing up . But she says stories have sparked a new ray of hope in her life .   She has observed how her son has started imagining things and try making his own short stories and   sharing it with his day care friends . All I can say is my fondness for storytelling that saved my day in   interview has grown much bigger with these kids . This course made me see this as a tool in a new way . I   prepare ahead and think of stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate them .
