What, So What?, Now What?

Just kidding, considering that when we had to introduce ourselves with the first activity I found that everyone that was in my group, except one person, was not a morning person!  However, the activities that we did helped break the ice quickly. Also trying to achieve on common goal, to build the bike, made us work better and find ways to efficiently execute our goals. The hardest one to get done was the rubber duck in the hoops but it was the most fun! After the event many people were talking more then they were in the morning when I got there. Maybe they aren’t morning people either...

I found that the activities would be impossible to complete if everyone did not work together. It brought a group of people that did not know each other and united them in one cause to help children get pretty cool bikes! To be honest when I woke up in the morning I was not a happy camper, but after the event and seeing the kids riding there bikes made it well worth it. 

Looking back at this even it ties very well with the work that is done every day in my lab. Although the projects that we work on are very different we are all trying to achieve a common goal, improving the treatments for cancer paitents. Collaborations like the one we did, at this past community service, also put great minds together towards a common purpose. What one mind can achieve cant compare to what many can do.
