see my twist? hehe :P
I didn’t have the energy nor mood to meet anyone after work today. With only four hours of sleep and loads of work to clear, I pulled my weary body and mind back home -just to find out that we will be having a family meeting.
My brother did not get very good results and my parents were obviously disturbed. Hence, I was appointed to chair the meeting. Applying all my facilitation skills, I listened to him and asked him a lot of questions. Thankfully, he opened up and spoke. As a teenager, I want to treat him as an adult. Hence, I asked him questions to make him think and reflect.
I think my facilitation skills has improved tremendously. It engages him and it’s the first time I see him putting up an internal struggle and my heart aches yet feel fulfilled to see his eyes turning red towards the end. It shows that my message has an impact on him (finally. *feels such a kick!*) and it managed to stirred something within him. I hope he will seriously change for the better this time round.

To remind myself when monitoring him, I shall typed it down here.
Main point of talk: Discipline.
Supporting points: Know the consequences of your actions, don’t just say- do it, challenge yourself & live without regrets (don’t give excuses for your failures), building up our trust in him again, reducing his L1R5 by three times.
His plan of actions: Study 4 hours everyday, study more during weekends, max 1- 1.5 hours of computer, pay attention & talk less in class, go for consultations by teachers, manage his time well.
1 week from now, I shall check on him & encourage him again. This is called effective follow-up. hahah

I’m SO glad I went back to SF for ftb. This was really a much needed platform to prove to myself (after ltm) that I can facilitate successfully. I never knew I can facilitate successfully and touch people’s hearts. This means very much to me & I would never ever regret going back to ftb (no matter how insanely tiring it pushes me to).
Darlings! Let’s all live life to its fullest and keep going for the best!
ps. I think jaryl is a very good influence. He wakes me up to face my sucky gpa results and teaches me how to think about the consequences of what I do.
pps. I think working in a charitable organisation has made me a much much less mercenary person. I want to be a social entrepreneur next time!: )
