Relationships


Today Josh took us to a large cafe by the river. I can't remember the name of it :s but it was really nice. it was really close to the london eye!
we spoke about our weeks and what we are getting up to, then we were given our threesixty training sheets. I was a bit nervous at first 'cos i never like things like this, where 'work' is required, but as we read into it, it wasn't so bad. josh explained the blog and what we had to put in it, and i was a bit confused. to be honest, i am still a bit,but josh is busy in the cafe, so i am just gong to post this and hope for the best!
'What we do effects what we learn, what we learn effects what we do' - Fiona Perham.
this was the first thing we looked at as a team. how there is a link between thoery and practice. i enjoyed looking into this, and thinking of an example from since i got here would be:
I came with a theory of how the house and people in it may work and get along and so i began to live (practice) within the house folloing the theory i had. As time went on, my practice then had to change because the house worked differently to my theory, and so as my practice changed, my theory changed. (i think that makes sense.)
We then were asked to look at relationships and how a particular relationship has effected us. The one i mentioned was one i have with my older brother, Tim.
Without Tim i really dont think i would be in the place i am today because it was his encouragement and persistance that kept me going when i so often wanted to give up. (and he wasn't afraid to give me the kick i needed). So yeh, i really appreciate that he was there, even though he may think he was just being an 'older brother', and what i have learnt from him, i bring with me to everything i put my mind to, knowing that with persistance, i am able to do it.
