    Rotchell Pelayo completed a learning journal from their time as a student field worker at Tagumpay Sagop Bata Center. They began their day by informing their agency field supervisor and HR that they would be absent for their required activities. At the center, they taught children the alphabet and did an art activity. Later, when the children slept, Rotchell helped clean the facility. One problem encountered was a deafmute client having breathing issues, which was difficult to understand without sign language skills. Another was saying goodbye to a client who was leaving, which was emotionally difficult. Rotchell learned the importance of understanding non-verbal cues and preparing for the emotional challenges of ending client relationships.

    LEARNING JOURNAL

    Name: Rotchell A. Pelayo


    Date: September 15, 2023
    Agency: CSWDO Tagum

    Activities:

    Before the Student Field Workers (SFWs) went to Tagumpay Sagop Bata Center they first came
    to City Social Welfare and Development Office to inform and let their assigned Agency Field
    Supervisors (AFS) sign it. After that we went to Human Resource Management Office (HRMO)
    to inform Sir Winberth San Jose that we will be taking an absent to comply for the requirement
    such as the NBI Clearance. When we arrived at the center, we taught the children about the
    alphabet and had an art activity with them. In this activity we allowed the children to color the
    drawings. When the children were asleep, the SFW did their daily requirements and helped
    clean the facility since there was nothing to do that time.

    Problems/ Difficulties Encountered:

    One of the clients in the center who is deafmute was saying something to us and we do not
    really understand her since we are not familiar with sign language. There was no houseparent
    that time so we can’t ask someone who is more knowledgeable than us. The client had difficulty
    breathing due to her asthma. Since she was deafmute, we cannot understand that she was
    telling us that she was having a hard time breathing. Also, we were having a hard time finding
    the device that was needed for her to be able to breath properly, since we are not familiar with
    the center. On the other hand, before we left the center one of the clients told us that she would
    be going home the next day and before we got to the van, she bid goodbye to us and hugged us
    one by one. When it was my turn, she whispers (I love you ate) in my ears and hearing those
    words made me sad and want to cry at the same time. She is a sweet and kind child, that is why
    in the small amount of time that we shared from the center she left us with a lot of memories.

    Learning Insights:

    I realized that all the things that have been told to us in school is all true, that there will be time
    when you get sad because the helping relationship will come to an end. For me, it was both a
    saddening event of being a SFW and a happy moment at the same time because I know that
    the client will now come back to a home where she feels safe. Just like what I have told during
    our interview I easily get attached to a person most especially when they are so kind to me and
    treats me well, but I did not allow my emotions to overwhelm me and let my tears drop since it is
    one of the principles of being a social worker is the client worker relationship.
    I just have kept in my mind that as a SFW I need to act professionally and prepare myself to this
    kind of situations. Moreover, I realized that it is important to understand the non-verbal cues of a
    person. When one of the deafmute clients was pointing at her neck and heart we easily
    understood that she was having a hard time to breath properly, and because of that we were
    able to give solutions to her situation.
