Incidental Report

Tuesday......A day before our scheduled culmination day for the psychiatric exposure.
I arrived around 6 am only to know that some of my students are still asleep ......Grrrrh!
What should be the best thing to do? should I get a bucket of water? should I pull them over? or should I approach them and calmly wake them up.....?
What is your guess?...... Nope i did'nt drenched them with water nor pull them out of the bed! .
With a calm voice I requested these guys to WAKE UP!.......
My temper was rising..... Knowing that the students from other schools are having their formation for their exercise.......So as i feared, only half of my students were able to join the exercise!
Huh! its a bad day to begin with!..... But I conditioned my mind that I will not let this event spoil the rest of the day! ....... for I will still Join a PARTY in a short while! did i say PARTY? yeah! cool!
8:30 - the party begins...Our concept for the day is birthday party.. So all the patients have to wear their party hats...they were given the chance to blew their birthday candles and make a wish!
It was magical!.... the emotion we all have expereince is so imense!
Well thats the postive side....When the magic all ended, its time for me evaluate today's activity!
So I rate their therapy as 9 ( excellent) out of 10. Yet I was also honest with them that their behavior early in the morning ( them being late for the activites- exercise) was totally unacceptable , so i told them that for those people concern they have given me no choice but to demand an incidnetal report!..... The people concern were all shock yet were able to accept their fault and made no further comments except for One. . He blurted out in anger! lashing out intimidating words! .......I stood my ground firmly. I explain my side calmy but to be frank its very hard to maintain my composure especially when the student question your credibility as the instructor....then suddenly the scene was shifted when one of the students tried to pacify the "overheated" discussion....The teacher - student discourse now turn as the intergroup argument.... This time its my time to pacify them!......Their was still no complete resolution over the situation... yet I maintained my stand that they have to explain their side by wrting an incidental report!.. in this case I have to write my own incidnetal report too.... But I gues if I have a point to raise in the report it is the way we handled the situation. We were able to raise and clarify the right issue.... were able to control our emotions .. we did not allow our defensive- reflex mode to take over the incidient!....Well In 72 hours ..i will submit my incidental report!- goodluck
