I could remember a time when I wanted to be apart of a group but I felt excluded because I couldnt be apart because of my time schedule and the group leader didnt want me to come whenever I had the time. I think they could have still allowed me to come whenever i was free even if that means not participating heavily but that would have made me feel included.

I found myself in a gathering some years back where everyone was using a computer system and i felt left out because i could not name the parts of a computer system then, let alone use it. I think if any of them could have invited me to atleast watch the way they were operating the system it would have made if feel carried along and not out of place.

As I think back on my younger years and even as an adult, I felt excluded during group work because no one is interested in my ideas as a child and an adult. Guess because I am a person I naturally keep to myself. I wasn't popular or ever was apart of a clique. This mostly happened in school and during college. During college I was a foreigner and my classmates I didn't know them really. In my primary days I just wasn't a popular child guess cause my parents struggled to make ends meet.

I felt excluded at some stage in high school when I was chosen for the netball team but I had music class in that time slot.

I wanted to be part of that group of girls and had to work very hard to urn a place in the group.

After reading about the wave model, I think the teachers on both sides could make plans to accommodate both activities. Perhaps other girls could also benefit from teachers collaborating and leaning a bit backwards  

I felt excluded the time I joined high school and wanted to join the basket ball team. The students who were members of the team did not welcome me because they felt that I was too short to be part of the team. This made me lose interest in co-curriculum activities especially ball games. I feel that all students should be given opportunity to participate in co- curriculum of their interest and not segregated because of their physique 

A time I felt excluded was when I changed my school in high school. Having no friends around and getting to a new environment usually makes me feel excluded sometime. 

I felt excluded in a maths lesson in my early years of secondary school when after being absent from school due to fee problem for some days, I got the class deep into a new topic which I could not comprehend while most of the other students understood.  Luckily, the teacher took me through the topic in a remedial and I was able to catch up.

I felt excluded from learning during my primary school days because my teacher was the teacher was so fast in explaining concepts and i was slow learner.

This year is my first year in this unit with no experience at all in using the computer. I was just sitting and writing with my pen on my book while everyone in our office busy working on their computer. Wow I felt  excluded and ashamed of myself. They should have just let me sit beside a computer and teach me immediately on that very first day.

I felt excluded one time when I was very young girl probably at the age of nine years. I had just lost my parents and within a span of one year,I learnt in three different schools.I wanted to settle in one school and meet new friends but barely before I settled, I was in another school.

I really wished that I was involved that could have been done by explaining to me the reason why I was being changed from one school to another but this was not done because the people who ware in my life then,Ware seeing me as a child.This made me felt excluded.  

When I think about being excluded, most of my memories are more associated with exclusion by my peers rather than from my teachers.  Having gone to a school with students from various social classes, there were times where I just could not relate to the experiences that these students talked about. I think that in addition to teachers, students are a major factor in the inclusion and exclusion of others. This can probably be due to their upbringing, but looking back I am glad that regardless of how I felt sometimes with my peers, my teachers never made me feel like I did not belong there, especially when I did not perform like the others. 

I felt excluded when I joined 1st Form at age 13. The school I joined was a girls boarding national school near the city and we girls from all parts of the country. There was a good bunch of girls from the city. During 4 o'clock tea the day I reported to school some girls from the senior classes came to serve us tea. They asked us our names and where we were from. I noticed that every time a form one student introduced themselves the senior girls burst out laughing. I was no exception. We also laughed without knowing why. We later learnt that they were laughing at way we spoke English- our accents. Apparently it was obvious from the way we spoke that we didn't come from the city.

I think my school should have sensitized the students to the fact everyone in the school came from different social cultural backgrounds.

There was a time when I felt excluded in a mathematics class, this is because I just don't understand the teacher's explanation and when questions are asked, the teacher gets angry and as a result I was excluded from those to provide answers to questions.

The teacher should have asked to know what exactly was wrong and find a way to get me involved in solving some of the equations.

I felt excluded the first time I came to my current offcie. I was considered too young to participate in importante meetings where big decisions are taken. I was much frustrated and lost self-confident. 

I felt excluded as a child entering secondary school for the first time.  I was the only student from my primary school in that class.  I was naturally shy, so it took me quite a while to make friends and become comfortable.  

We were allowed to make introductions to the class, but in hindsight as an educator I realize that in instances of initiation like these, more has to be done to engage outlier students from the beginning.  Hence, the teacher can set up a buddy system and allow some activity for meaningful conversation/engagement among new peers.

I once felt excluded in class. This happened because I missed a previous class which the topic was introduced and the lecturer just came and continued from where he stopped. I feel the teacher should have revised what he did in the previous class so that people like me will be able to catch on the topic of discussion. 

there was a time i felt very much excluded because i did not have money to make a contribution on social events in my workplace. All those who were said to have contributed were called for a meeting and at he end the activity was held without attending it.I believe the organisers could have called me to make some arrangements for payments that we become one thing

The first time I felt excluded in my life was when I enrolled as an undergraduate student. I joined the class in 200 level and some of the lecturers were making reference to some of their discussions in hundred level, which made me to feel not carried along.

I felt excluded in an activity i enrolled. There was this digital awareness workshop which i attended some years back. I was not familiar with so many things been thought which make me feel excluded. This is because it was just like i am the only person who is a digital immigrant. 

I felt excluded when I attended my first Chinese lesson. Turned out my 1st lesson was other people's 3rd lesson. I had registered late for the class and so the rest of the class was way ahead of me. The teacher would ask questions and it seemed everyone else was able to participate except me. It took me awhile to catch up and at some point I had felt like deferring that course.

I felt excluded when my friends go out and don't invite me. Then pictures are posted on social media and this really makes me feel a kind of way

I could remember my years at high school when I felt excluded. I attended a prestigious school and was a low-income student.  Due to this, I was not able to participate in a lot of the trips and activities done by the school and by extension, my peers. This always made me felt left out. 

I felt excluded from a game I wanted to play because I did not  live in the same neighborhood as those playing the game.

I remember when I just joined a secondary school, I was very young and had no friend.

A situation where I felt excluded occurred in high school when we went on an exchange trip to France. We went to a library where we met with some education officials and I felt particularly lost in the conversation due to my limited conversational French. Our teachers were prompting us to ask questions of the officials, however, I felt scared to speak out for fear of speaking poor French. Some of my peers were able to attempt conversation but I felt my French was not as good as theirs. Afterwards, our teachers berated us for not speaking up and I felt very badly.

I felt if our teachers had prepped us better for what to expect at the meeting, we could have each prepared a few questions and felt more confident about speaking up.
