Thursday 4

They say that work will never kill you; I say Sondela Facilitators are trying to prove them wrong! I have to give it to Chef though; he has a gift with getting boring work stuck into your head. Especially his references to hygiene; and why it is so very vital to portray a good professional image.

Role playing has now become part of me and I no longer feel embarrassed when it’s my turn, it seems as though it is the same with the rest of the students as well. Thursday’s roll playing was the most fun so far. We needed to pose questions from a guest and answers from the tour guide it a scenario where the air-con of the bus had packed up. To put it plainly it was a week’s worth of sit-ups. With Zenobia (guest) attacking me-the tour guide-and with lots of attitude telling me how useless I am.

The day came to a close with Heidi and an exercise that involved us being-yet again-thoroughly embarrassed but this time with ourselves. I probably would never share about three quarter of what I wrote on that paper. We had to write about ourselves but had criteria: our personal identity; what I really am what I hide; what I think other people think of me; and our social identity. It was hard and the now vibrant class went very quiet indeed.
