Somehow, I felt that I missed going to my duty. And I missed the aerobics session last saturday..as well as the film showing. And I think Buknoy misses me so badly that he almost jumped and bit me to pieces when I passed by him. (Augh,sweet.)
Before entering the hall for the scheduled practice of the residents for the coming LCRC Year-end Special, we, together with Sir Al, discussed some matters that happened during the 24th, 25th and 26th. They said that some residents were sad/depressed because they were not allowed to have visitors, however, they were still cooperative with the activities that they prepared.
Wiith our conversation with Sir Al, we were "shocked" to discover some "extreme" cases of some of the residents that we didn't expect. All the while we are thinking that they are "normal" because whe we are interacting with them, they appear to be "normal". I just realized that indeed sometimes, you can be fooled with what you see.
We were also given tips on psychotherapy. When you are interviewing someone, you must limit or control his/her three C's: choices, chances and change that you want him to have. Also, another tidbit of information: there are four sources of problems that the facilitator must explore and analyze: first is what is excess, what deficits, what is inappropriate, and what is he/she ignorant about. and you must kow how to balance all of these things for you to help him/her. Oopss.of course not to forget the art of minimal prompts! Which I believe will be very helpful i dealing with the residents.
Another interesting topic that was discussed earlier this morning was some of the residents' case started from substance abuse that caused chemical imbalances in their brain that resulted to chronic schizophrenia. While some of them already experienced symptoms of schizophrenia and to tone those symptoms, they engaged in substance or alcohol abuse.
Going on with the residents' rehearsal, they were cooperative but we found it hard to have them rehearsed during the afternoon session because we don't have the copy of the music that they will be singing and dancing. I was put on the spot to sing in acapella just to refresh them what is the tune of the music "at the beginning" (im so sorry for my voice.i hope they will still get to respect me after that.)
After that, I moved from being a "voice instructor" to a "dance instructor". It was fun because they were in the mood for dancing.However, it was really tiring because only the four of us (I, haha, daisy and dana) were left to teach the dance and the song.
I am really praying hard for the program on Wednesday to be as successful as the other programs.
p.s.
I almost forgot..
