Learning: Chapter 2


Well, it all started when my dad got himself a smartphone…… My dad knew nothing about them so I basically had to teach him everything about it. It didn’t take him long to figure out how to turn it on and get to the home screen. That was the easy part. Trying to teach him how apps work and what they are was not an easy task. I think I tried explaining it to him at least 10 times and eventually he started to figure it out. I would take the phone from him and slowly walk him through the process of downloading different apps and how to use them. Teaching him how to call people and text people was a fairly easy process. He was used to calling and texting from his old phone.

There were so many skills that I had to use during this entire process. The main skill I had to use was patience. There was so many times where I felt like blowing up because it was so frustrating. I tried explaining things to him to the best of my abilities and he just never understood it. Self-control was another skill that I had to use. There were many times where I felt like walking away from it situation and making him wait until my sister gets home from college to try to explain it to him. I sucked it up and kept working with him and after a couple weeks, I think he finally got the majority of it figured out.
