How The Retreat Helped Us

I was invited by Mr. Ing to become a chaperone for the first time, we were at the retreat house to teach the kids that led us to our own sessions individually. I’m a former student of being in the class, therefore I was teaching upon my own experience that’ll help the students think of their self-evaluation on how they are in the class and what they want to gain from it that will benefit them for future references. The students got a sense of how the class runs and what is to be expected which is what we want from them. I strongly believe that being able to go on the other side of the island to the house for the kids to be off their phones and be able to ponder on their “shaping” throughout the class is important for them to build connections/relationships along with their individual itself to make improvements. The house is a good use of being able to have everyone together without any distractions which helps us teach the kids the definition of the class and it’s meaning to it. I could say this retreat benefitted me as a student within this class which helped build relationships for the sake of collaboration among with understanding how the class is run and getting to the place you want later on. Personally, this was one of the main impacts being in the class that I managed to reflect on how I was before and how I am currently. Not only does this impact the kids but it impacts the chaperones also because our goal is to help the kids in any way possible for them to gain something out of this, being able to help and put the kids first is a self-accomplishment made.
