Service

During service today, we taught the kids the basics of the alphabet, and various of shapes and colors as well as identifying names of fruits. The kid i was teaching, her name is Kesya, she is a very active litle girl, who is always eager to finished the work on time because she wants to get a reward (stickers). i think these stickers are such a great motivation for her, as it allows her to keep her spirit up and be more ambitious when completing the workbook. But today, it was different. She wasnt the cheerful Kesya i knew. She was a whole different person. She didnt even speak up while i was teaching her, so it was hard for me because im unsure if she is actually listening to me or not, understanding what i was trying to say or not. So i just sat there patiently wondering whats wrong. i kept on asking her but she wouldnt answer. So i guess this was the challenge of the day, and i had to go through it and just be patient with her, i figured maybe she didnt have plentiful of rest because she looked really exhausted. but thankfully, she managed to at least do some of the excercises quiet well, although i wished she was more enthusiastic about it. Another major problem that occured today was during the entertainment session, when we asked them to pain their hands and make a colorful illustration with it. Unfortunately, it didnt go quiet well. everything was a mess, paint was everywhere, the wet tissues werent that effective because we needed alot to wipe off just one hand, so it wasnt enough. Hence, most of the members didnt even bother to clean up all the tissues and the paint so it ended being really messy. i guess we have learned our lesson from this activity, which is that we should be more prepared and organized when doing activities similar to this, and also knowledgeable when thinking of the consequences that may happen as well.
