A very, very warm hello to friends at Sinai Educational System of Santa Rosa Laguna. It was a wonderful feeling being surrounded by this receptive and sensitive audience.
What did I life-coach for these students? By the way, these students are mostly nursing, education and psychology graduates already. Some are caregiver students.
When asked what their most memorable experience was during their retreat, majority of them liked my session (according to Mrs. Lilia Del Barrio, their professor and retreat coordinator) the best. It was easy, actually almost an impromptu. I didn't need any research or practice at all. I just told them my story, my first-hand experience with autism which made them cry. I just snatched a few pages from the book I have been writing for almost 5 years. All throughout my 2-hour sharing, Miggy was walking in and out of our session. He sat in one of the vacant chairs beside a young female student who was crying then. This student actually has a special sibling.
"Don't cry," Miggy said as he wiped her tears away, and all the more she cried.
