Name of instructor: Nail Doorhy.
Date: 22nd of March.
Summary: We spent lunch time dancing with Nail Doorhy. He taught us how to jive and two other small steps. It was easy to learn from him as he described it well and went over steps a lot. I liked the dancing as I never did this before. Overall this was an enjoyable experience.
Name of guest speaker: Kenneth Heffernan
Date: 22nd of March.
What was discussed: He introduced himself and told us about his story. He told us how lonely he was in life. He used to act up in class to get attention as he never got it at home. After the leaving cert he felt alone as all his friends were gone to college and he was left since he didn’t open a book.
He discussed how he hung himself and cut himself. He eventually asked for help after crashing a car on purpose. Ever since that he got better but still has his bad days and now talks to students about his life.
I found this talk very interesting and useful. Overall it was an interesting insight into the mind of a person suffering with mental health issues.
