Re: Please discuss your recent wonderful accomplishments here
So I started work experience this week; somehow I had to be a youth worker when that wasn't even one of my three options, it was sad.
On the first day of work experience, we had a two hour lunch (it was extended) and mainly just covered plans for the next three days, it was chill.
On the second day of work experience, we rehearsed the first day's events with the primary school (specifically year 5s) we were going to, and went to it in the afternoon and did it. Both times from what I heard from the other three students, I got what seemed to be the most difficult groups (by pure misfortune), and it was legitimately painful having to handle their wildness, more so with the former one. There were a bunch of whole group things with the boss talking in between the stuff I had to do with both groups, but first, we had to do this game called Hungry Animals with them, which was generally okay but I really sucked at remembering all their names. Next, we had to craft a very short drama related to the cause of arguments that ends with a resolution, which was kind of frustrating because there were so many bad ideas or subject ideas that weren't really what was being looked for, and people continuously started going off on tangents, which was very frustrating and made it a drag to power through them. Finally, we did this thing where I had them write about grudges they were holding on a piece of paper for them to put in a shredder, which was somehow hard the first time because the first group was sooooo restless, but the second group were thankfully better at waiting for our turn.
Overall though, they seemed to really like me despite me feeling like I did a mediocre job afterwards, which was made apparent with how //some of them were saying hi to me when we were taking the car back to headquarters which was rather pleasant, but I'm still not up to doing this three more times.
