:: MATES - Home Stay Home ::

I think i never had updated anything bout my mentoring program since i posted the last one few weeks ago. It doesnt mean that i got nothing special to talk about, it just a matter of time. sometimes i dont really have time to update my blog everyday. sometimes i am soooo lazy to click the blogger  button on the bookmark bar. well, for me every mentoring session we had in Papakura is awesome. and i am personally think, last week session was the most productive session.

week 3
it wasn't exactly week 3. we kept skipping the week due to school holiday and other things. so this one has become the third week i met Paris, my mentee. i prepared a handout for her. my handout's title is 'My Goals'. i asked her to fill in the handout, there were  4columns in total : my goals for today, this year, in the future and the last on , the goals that i'v already achieved. and for each time for the goals, i asked her to write 'why is it important' and ' how to achieve it'. we did the task together. she answered all the questions and that helped me to know her better. i'll update her answer letter since she forgot to bring the handout  lastweek. i remember her answers, but it is too much to write, so i'll pun it in a new entry. the purpose of this task WAS, to help her to be clear with her aims in life. i told her, this task is important to help she realizes that if one has a dream, it is always possible to achieve the dream as long as they know how to achieve  it n willing to put some efforts in achieving. I asked her to look back at her already achieved dreams. she has already got few dreams came true. therefore, she definitely able to achieve more. :))

week 4

This is the most tiring week ever. EVER! i was fasting and  we were actually played a game called  'home stay home'. in this game,the opponent group will need to chase out and caught another group's members. the people who are not the catcher will have to run and run and run to safe their lives. if they are being tagged by the catchers, they will die. so whoever manages to get home and says ' home stay home' without being tagged, they are safe. we devided urself into two groups, and it was a fight between mentee and mentor group. The kiddos was so excited to beat us. we got to be the first group who be the victim, and the kiddos were the catchers. they ran so fast, and they caught us all. we ran not too fast, but we managed to catch 'em all too. the second round of the game, i managed to get home and that made we won the game in total. ( after for times of running and hiding. i was almost died)  ^^''

Ann called us  when it was already 415pm and asked to stop play. i guess she wanted us to do something more beneficial for the students. haha. it seemed like they didnt wanna stop but we had to. the activities afterward were boring.we played scrabble and word games only. among all things happened on that that, i remember most about Xavier, a boy who is a mentee to Dzaf. he sounded so funny when we have already been in group and ready to run for the HSH game. he said to the girls in mentee's group,' well, dont worry. it is easy!  leave it to me ladies! i will finish them all' and we all laughed after that. he ensured the girls in the group that they gonna win the game but at the end , they didnt and Xavier was so frustrated. hehe. i like his confidence anyway. :p and i know, this week he will be waiting to play Home Stay Home again. and I.. im not gonna run anymore. :))
