The Challenge and Selection 

 I work in a higher education institution and while dealing with students of undergraduate and   graduate students , I use the great tool of storytelling very often . 

 I work with students coming from diverse backgrounds . Some have very happy families and a healthy   relationship with their parents while some have broken families and others have troubled relationship   with their parents . The students from broken families and with troubles relationships suffer from   depression and they express it either by being disengaged in class or being aggressive to people who   try to talk to them . The students from happy families make groups and most often they do n’t include   the other categories in their friend circle . The result is those students neglected at home remain aloof   and isolated in college also . They do n’t find friends and have no one to inspire them . Going to a   psychotherapist or a counsellor seems to make them sick which they are not as they believe . It is a   challenge to me to deal with these students as it takes a lot of my time to get them open up to end up   in trusting me with their failure . 

 I spend a lot of time to first get them open up to talk about their experiences and then alongside find   ways to inspire them . Quite often they are crushed under the aspirations their parents have and they   have no academically lived upto them to get higher grades in studies . Their loneliness is quite visible   from their disengagement in classroom or from their non - seriousness in assignments . With my   background from learning educational psychology , and working with such students as a learning   assistant in my early career ; I share my stories of failures to raise their hopes . I enable them to visualise   a ray of light or a candle that illuminates the darkness and when they start opening up , I sue their   feedback to better understand them . I have to develop different strategies to help them cope with   circumstances back home and not to lose hope . Sometimes we sit and watch a movie they chose to   watch just to laugh and feel they have someone to care . I help them find a way to do something that   would add a meaning to their own existence and fulfil their emotional aspirations in life . That is when   they can emerge and find their path to go further and be independent . 

 I used the Story telling technique to handle such a situation . 

 Application . 

 I have a natural affection to people around me . I have always been the person to whom people have   come upto to share their problems and sometimes the same people have even backstabbed me with   their actions . Still I have faith in humanity . I was handling a whole business school and the problem of   students abstaining from classes was becoming a big issue . Many of these regular defaulters of   attendance had also strange behaviours in class which the teachers gave feedback for . Parents of these   students when called were callous about this behaviour from their wards . Something had to be done .   I decided to use a direct one to one approach and called the first 10 students individually on different   days and just invited them to a cup of tea in my room . I just had a chat on what are their likes and   dislikes . The students had thought that they will be reprimanded and they were taken for surprise that   they were treated over tea . I made them the rock star of the day by asking them to do something that   would be unique in the forthcoming student festival a month later . Each of these students either   participated in a dance or song or gave a solo performance . While I saw them do so , emotions poured   out in their voice and actions . Each of these students were publicly applauded for and admired . Later   when they came to meet me , I discovered that their parents were either divorced or separated . Others   were emotionally deprived of their parent ’s time to just sit and talk to them . Now I had made them   heroes . Later teachers mentioned that these students were doing better in class and were not unruly   anymore . 

 Insight 

 This was an eye opener to me as well as my fellow colleagues . I later called these students now   together over a tea and sandwich one day . I shared how my father wanted to force upon me to choose   a profession of being a doctor and I had to resist him for three long years . Every time I hated him and   was also physically beaten by him when I did not get good grades . I found this scary . I shook at the   thought of even having dinner with him . But my mother who was always a silent spectator to all this   because she was equally afraid of facing the same physical abuse of she spoke anything , one day told   me to be brave and that she had faith in me . This was the changing point in my life . I decided to face   it all and still tell my father very politely and very firmly that I do n’t want to be a doctor . I also   confessed to my students that I went to take a drink with my friends and preferred to just drink and   remain drunk than go home . But the thought of my mother kept me away from any more drinking and   being an alcoholic . Much later in my life could I freely talk to my father , but I care for my father and   that is because of my mother . 

 When I told this to the students they said they shall now do something they feel their life is worth of   and be happy about it . 

 I told about this to my institution authorities also . The case of such students could be dealt with just   by giving some helping hand and an ear to listen to . Now we have an inner space centre in our   institution and teachers are being trained how to identify the ones who need such attention . 

 Sometimes a little story can do wonders and bring out new revelations about things which were   unknown earlier . 

 This course has made me learn new tools and look at things in a more systematic way . What I did   earlier was out of just experience and what I could do further shall be systematic and help me   illuminate the lives of my students . 

 I am quite grateful that I did this course and learnt a lot from this .
