Storytelling   – Reflection 

 Challenge & Selection       Storytelling is a great tool and I use when I explain to my classmates at many times . I work with student   populations for any projects in the college and at times go to some schools for live experiences . Many of   these people deal with oppression and dysfunction in every aspect of their lives , they need to be empowered   and inspiration is a path to empowerment . I spend a lot of time “ opening people up ” and finding ways to   inspire them to improve their circumstances . They explain if we ask them patiently and help them to over   come there problems . When I work with seniors , we share stories for different reasons . Often they 're lonely   and are so happy to share stories of their lives with me to connect and they find meaning in sharing these   experiences as a form of teaching and telling their problems or any overcomes in a motivational manner to   improve our working in a sense . With my developmentally disabled people I meet I share stories of my life   in order to help them visualize a state of independence , I use their feedback against the context of my story   to ascertain their goals , and sometimes we use stories to better understand their interests and thought   processes . I use this information to develop different strategies to try and find a way that works for them   to gain more independence in the areas they find lacking in their lives . The happenings or any difficulties   I explain them with a solution helps them in their solutions and they think and handle their problems in a   strong manner .      Application       I have a story to explain in form of using storytelling . In talking about policy changes with a social service   agencies , I was trying to explain to them the benefits of taking a more people focused approach , among   other things , and especially , of recognizing each person as a unique being , and addressing their individual   needs first and foremost . The agency was in the grip of a “ compliance culture ” and its clients were failing   in this non - empathetic , rigid structure . I was also explaining how sometimes addressing the needs of one   individual can impact everyone for the better , even if it seems extreme or out of the ordinary . I told a story   about when I ran an emergency shelter after a stop of lift with using it going to the top flour of the apartment .   Everyone was doing really well inside it except for one man who was locked up with others was deeply   stressed and   was making him very emotionally volatile . I could tell he needed attention ; in my mind I   decided he would be “ Prince for an hour . ” I made him a cup of coffee and sat down with him and let him   talk after we came out of it with so much difficulties . It turned out that his father , who was with him , had   survived a brain tumor and he was terrified that he would fall or that some other crisis would befall her   during this stuck of lift while in the shelter after we came .        Insight & Approach       Well , wow , that was an eye - opener . His father was a calm presence and doing very well . Clearly it was   time for me to open up with my story to him . I told him how scary it was when my father had his brain   tumor in front of me and how I had to get him to the hospital and how difficult and scary that all was . I   shared how he recovered well , and then tied us together , by noting how he and I both have parents who   survived brain tumor . This worked really well . He really needed individual attention for that brief time , and   he ended up with that and a true support . He calmed down , his father , who had become worried about him ,   calmed down , and everyone around them calmed down . Peace reigned again in our little shelter . And now   we both got some fresh air and relaxed . 

 So I told this story to the agency of the social service , and I think it had a big impact on people there who   they take care of . The policies are being reevaluated and the caseworkers are going through new training .   Sometimes a little story can do a lot of good . As that day I made him comfortable after a lot of difficulty .      This course made me see this as a tool in a new way . When I 've done it before it was really " make do , " but   now I can prepare ahead and think of stories that will assist me in presenting my ideas and best illuminate   them at any situations I may be in to sort out it .      I have a design background , but I ended up as an cost accountant in a company and working upon it . I had   no idea this would ever be considered an asset , but I am so very grateful that it is very useful ! !
