26th August, 2015
I had posted this earlier but, due to certain unknown technical
difficulties it was either not published or it got deleted. However, since I
had done my work, I feel it doesn't hurt to re-post it. So, here I go.
The first session with Ms. Asma Niaz was held on 26th of August,
2015. This was not merely a meet and greet between the two parties involved
but, it was a stepping stone for what the course is all about. Ms. Niaz made
the students stand in a circle so they could better communicate with each other
and better introduce each other in a somewhat informal setting of a rather
formal work environment.
After which, Ms. Niaz made every student share a story
associated with their respective names , sort of like a story of how they came
to be known by a name and why or how. For instance, my name is Sanniah, and as
far back as I can remember (because of the stories I've been told by my family)
this name was given to me by my paternal grandmother because she wished to have
a grandchild named after her, and though my parents considered calling me Aisha
it was upon my grandmothers' insistence that the decision was changed to the
name I have since then associated with myself.
Overall, it was an entertaining first class where the instructor
did not start off with teaching the conventional way. She simply guided the
students and made them perform in their own different ways.
