1. What is your topic (something of importance that you have been experiencing or
witnessing in placement ie: boundaries).
Something that I have been experiencing recently at placement is being dismissed as there is a
staff that I struggle to communicate with due to that. As a placement student, I already don’t
have much authority compared to the actual staff so it is hard to receive the same respect and
communication that I give them.
2. Share a story that depicts your topic/experience
At my location, there is a staff that is the same age as me, however, I often feel like I am walking
on eggshells as she has a very intimidating presence and sometimes can be condescending. A lot
of the staff is younger than me, and I can see the way she tends to be dismissive towards them
and sometimes me. When I had planned an activity, because my supervisor had asked me to for
that day, she disregarded me and moved it to the day after which I was not there. It is hard to
communicate with as I tend to be nervous around her.
3. Share a solution-focused way that you plan to resolve or describe what support you are
looking for in order to resolve. If you have already resolved this, please share how you have
done so.
I plan to solve this by further attempting to communicate with the staff as I would like to form a
professional relationship with her. As I would get nervous around her, I would have to work
around it as if I do nothing, there will be no progress. Also, I do plan on communicating with the
supervisor as I would like some support in building that relationship with that staff and clearing
up any misunderstandings she may have had. It will be difficult as I do not want to create any
dispute between any other staff members and me, however, I do believe that I can communicate
decently enough to remain respectful and interact with the staff.
4. Describe one highlight or success from your placement by sharing an experience with a
young person or in placement in general.
One highlight from placement is that the kids are comfortable enough around me to come up to
me and say hi or have a conversation with me. I have also been doing girls club and boys club,
where both groups do an activity, whether it is arts and crafts or baking. It has allowed me to
interact better with both groups, and the girls have expressed that they enjoy it when I interact
with them during their activity of girls and that they miss me when I am not there. With the kids,
I feel like I have created a bond with them, and that I have properly built a healthy relationship
with them.
