Day 28-Apologising to deputy director and admin staff

Today, class started at 1pm as Daryl need to go to the hospital for another drip at 11am with the accompany of ms neo and the deputy of the school. For today lesson was a new topic, communication. Different people have different learning style. Some prefer to see things in written form, and prefer to read and study instead of listening. This people are classified under readers. Those who prefer to listen than papers are classified under listener. The third type is the manipulator, they require hands on approach to get the message delivered. And lastly, viewers. They enjoy drawing, drawing like mind maps. Thus, when there is a communication breakdown, it might be due to the different communication skills one acquired.



Paying attention in classAfter lesson, we stay back for consultation, than we show Ms Neo the apologize letter that we have done.

She spotted some mistake and after we amended it, we went to level five (staff room) to give it to the deputy director and admin staff. They are surprised by our actions and say that as long as we learn our mistake, it all right. She added that we are still young. Then we went to have our dinner at the back streets. We had 卤肉饭 for dinner and at around 9pm, the student leaders came to our hostel to see us as we have not been seeing each other for a long time. After they left, I went on to study for tomorrow practical test.

Reflection: I can only learn from a mistake after I have admitted it. But if I courageously stand up and honestly say “This is my mistake and I am responsible”, things will be different .I can learn from my mistake and not repeat it again. Learning from mistakes requires three things:
Putting yourself in situations where you can make interesting mistakes
Having the self-confidence to admit to them Being courageous about making changes
