Storytelling 

 Challenge 

 Storytelling is something that has become a great aspect of my life . I live in a home that takes in 

 foster kids . Even though I may not be a foster child myself . Children of all ages come into our 

 home and stay for any amount of time . Many of the children I meet come from homes below the 

 poverty line and are less fortunate . I try to connect with all the children and make them feel safe 

 and at home . When a new foster child comes into our care we will try to do a family game night , 

 a fire with s'mores , camp out in the back yard or any other number of family activities . My 

 family does this to help introduce the new child to everyone and to help make them feel 

 comfortable . Every childs story is different . 

 Application 

 One of the foster children that has stayed in our care for many years has become very close with 

 myself . This child is a medical foster child and has struggled to find a stable home that is willing 

 to take him in . The child , who we will call Adam out of respect of privacy , was born with a 

 condition called Arthrogryposis which has caused his joints to be locked from birth . Many 

 people would let this control their lives . Adam does not . He learned to walk and eat all on his 

 own . Which is something the doctor said he would probably never be able to do . Not only has he 

 done learned to do everyday things but he has learned to play basketball and even plays in the 

 local league . One day , Adam was sitting at the table with his things all packed up and crying . I 

 Storytelling 

 went over to him and asked him what he was doing and why all his belongings were packed . He 

 turned to me and looked deep into my eyes and said “ I have never stayed at a home longer than 

 three months . It 's my time to go . ” Hearing that from a six - year - old boy brought tears to my eyes . 

 I quickly explained to him that he was not leaving us anytime soon and that he has nothing to 

 worry about . 

 Insight & Approach 

 Even though Adam may not of told me a story . I had to try to convince my family to adopt 

 Adam . He was basically a family member . We all considered him part of it . All that needed to 

 change was his last name . I used the experience of seeing Adam that morning to explain to my 

 family why we should adopt him . It was a unanimous vote . As I stood in front of a group of 

 strangers , trying to convince them why they should let me adopt Adam . I shared all the great 

 times we have had . The things Adam has taught me . I also shared with them the story of finding 

 him at the table . Adam became apart of my family that day and is a healthy , intelligent and 

 happy boy . My family used this event to adopt all the foster children under our care . 

 Storytelling is something I took for granted in line of work . I started out helping with a couple 

 foster children around the house . After taking this course , I look at storytelling as a tool and an 

 asset . I can now use storytelling as a tool during interviews of potential foster parents by having 

 Storytelling 

 them tell me a story about their past or having them use stories to further illuminate their 

 personalities better .
