Activity 1.2

I joined a choir when I was in a youth group. I was new to the group but when I went in the choir room I was led to sit among two girls. As soon as I sat down they started talking to me and showed me how to go about during singing practice. The choir began with welcoming everyone and thanking everyone for attending. I felt good about myself and the practice went well. I was completely included.

Feeling Included

Attachment

Mateila's case is an indication of being accepted into the choir group. This is can be said to be similar to my experience.


Again, back to my IIEP experience.

There was an occasion for Table Tennis contests among. Two male trainees came out first to play, with no accolade from colleagues. But as soon as I showed interest to contest with the winner, being a female, the atmosphere changed. There was so much cheering and surprisingly I defeated the former male winner. 

The cheering actually encouraged me to put in my best. The cheering was to me a sense of acceptability that I could do it; and good enough, they were not disappointed.

1.2 Feeling Included

Dear Zainab,

Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes being included is very uncomfortable for me. There is often a strong inclination to be just an observer, for I truly enjoy watching persons at work and interacting with each other within their environment.
