coaching

Being able to work in Student Development & Counselling Unit, i guess the greatest sense of fulfillment has gotta do with students. In every project that we initiate, with students around, it's always a golden opportunity to work with them and to provide guidance and to coach them at the same time. Don't misuse the status because at times, students just simply can come out with brilliant ideas, even much more better than a staff! =)

Coming to the end of semester, it's time to recharge and replan. Throughout the year of 2010, so many events were held. I would say I learned a lot as time goes by, in every project, with bunch and bunch of students. Not to forget the super supportive team we have in SDC, nothing can beat the teamwork and the trust i think :) At times, I would really think that they're indeed the angels that God sent. Sounds exaggerating but... it's 101% true.

Speaking of coaching, seriously, the most essential element would be the trust that you've given to the students that you're working with. If there's trust, everything would be possible. Sometimes, things don't just happen miraculously. Things happen for a reason. If you're given a bunch of slow and steady kids, you gotta work on their pace and get to know their working pattern. They might be slower but they still produce something for you. However, that doesn't mean you can leave them like that, maybe it's also good to motivate them to move slightly faster than normal. When people are brought out of the box, we will learn. Just like what Dr Biles said, "You train at their pace, not at your pace." :) Agree no more.

Tomorrow is 1 November. How time flies. I can't really imagine how i've gone thru almost a year just like tat. Well, at least I know what am i doing :) That's good enough for me. A lot of times, the meaning that derives from each action, makes a lot of difference in life. =) They just don't have to be perfect, but that tiny bit of imperfections, makes up a genuine life, because nothing is perfect in this world.
