7 Habits – Alpha

The life class, and the group I landed in feels like a safe space to express my views, opinions, and even concerns a lot of times. From day 1, this has been a space of no judgement with each member respecting the stories of another.

While we all might know the habits that we learnt in the life class, what helped most is that our concerns could be categorized and evaluated individually as and when we went through each habit. The mentors and team members always made sure that no concern was disregarded as too small or unimportant which gave everyone the opportunity to express themselves freely, and be vulnerable without hesitation.

The life class itself has been a great place to unwind, break the routine, meet people other than your team members, and space out from the mundane.

Our facilitators – Rashida ma’am and Jimmy ma’am also made sure that everyone had the chance to speak. While they focused on the agenda during the sessions, they also let our thoughts flow, and never stopped us from expressing ourselves, which further fueled our learning experiences. We learnt from people’s stories of distress and coping. We learnt from each other.

I didn’t really know what I could expect from these classes, but it has been a great journey and I couldn’t have asked for a better team than this.
