Week 1
17 July
(Lesson Two)
We met in the class area straight away today, where we got
placed into groups again to talk about ourselves again. We had to get quite
deep and personal this time which I got quite shy and nervous about at first. A
lot of people were quite scared of talking about these kind of things, and so
was I. I felt it was pushed on us just a little too much, to the point some of
us were almost in tears. Sometimes talking about the past can bring up a lot of
sadness for someone, so it was hard to be careful of what things we said to one
another.
It was a very uncomfortable lesson, until the positives came
out, and it was all smiles and laughter, even though this wasn't really a task,
we felt it was needed.
We started looking deeper into issues, pushing aside the
ones that made us feel uncomfortable. Doing this made a little progress on the
clarity of the assignment, but still foggy at this stage.
Our task before next week is to do research on topics of
interests and pick one we would like to dig deeper into. I have chosen to look
at the issue of obesity in children. This is quite a strong topic for me, not because
I've been through it, but because I have witnessed a friend go through it and it’s
not pleasant for both them and the people around them. This is a good choice
rather than going deep into depression or anxiety, because I relate to that too
much, which makes it a harsh topic.
