"What, So What?, Now What?"

At the community service event, I observed that many of the groups tried working through the team building challenges in different ways. The experience was different from what I expected because I thought there would be more involvement with the community service aspect, but it was only a very small portion of the day. A new skill I learned was how to work with people with all different backgrounds and ideas when it came to activities such as the chicken toss. I liked that I was able to meet many new people from the program, but I didn’t like how the bike building part only took a few minutes. I learned from my group members that there are many different ways to view a challenge and that it is important to try them out.

In the research lab, I can listen to everyone’s ideas just like during the group activities. If I could do the group activities again, I wouldn’t change anything, because I thought that the group worked together very well.
