I think I was correct about the qualities of a facilitator having to be more personal than impersonal. That a facilitator has to be able to get the students to work with one another and be able to actively listen. To put his or herself after the needs of the group and make sure they have what they need in order to finish their assignments. That to be a facilitator I have to be more aware of the fact that I'm in an environment in which I'm not the teacher or student but someone who helps them help themselves and each other. To be patient, respectful, and to value everything that they have to offer.
It has shown me that not everything is grammatical or homework oriented. That it is a lot more personal and development is also based on group dynamic.
I think I will alwasy need their knowledge and their guidance. This is because they have the experience that I do not yet possess. My mentor is the type of person that I look forward to getting know better and draw on when I comes to my group and any problems that occur.
