Personal Narrative: How I Learned In Catch-Up Meetings

The collaborative efforts of Group 3, continued during Week 3. The primary tasks that were assigned including the Feeding the Hog activity, and the Phase 1 - Transformational Collaboration Proposal Plan. Kristian Stremberg served as the group leader for the week. In this role, Kristian provided a draft template for each assignment using Google Docs, allowing the group to examine each element of the assignment and collaborate effectively toward the final draft of each assignment.

Tell me about your current team. What are your team members’roles and how do they work together?

Interview question: What have you done in the past to contribute toward a teamwork environment?

For our project on animation I was in charge of the motion graphics subheading for all of the four assignments. The rest of the information such as introduction, conclusion, engagement etc. was split evenly among the five of us so we can all contribute fairly. I helped with the mind mapping part of the project since my other team members never used a mind mapping site or application before. I was glad to be able to guide them

There are many examples of simplifications and streaming I have brought to the District, but the important part is that they have collectively resulted in a much more effective working environment, and have resulted in a more enriched outreach program enjoyed by our customers.

In 1933, only half of German boys and 15% of girls were members of Nazi youth organizations. Some anti-Nazi movements such as the “Swing Movement” and the “Eldelweiss Pirates” resisted the Nazi control of their lives by mocking Germany through songs and accepting the Jews in their clubs. Hitler was shown as an approachable, friendly figure who took care and valued German children. This was meant to create a positive impression of Hitler and encourage more children to join Nazi Youth Organizations Unlike most other propaganda posters, this one had an element of truth to it. Hitler believed that children were the future of Germany, and he greatly valued them, as shown above.

Another team experience came during my first year of undergraduate studies. In this experience, I had the opportunity to work for Texas Tech under one of my professors. The task that I was assigned with was to help with the transition of one online class system to another. Overall, there was a lot of work that had to be done in order to meet the specified deadlines. Personally, I was put in charge of creating two classes in the new format of Blackboard that the university was planning to switch to. With all of the work that had to be done for each class, the professor made specific students in charge of certain classes and then gave each person in charge a team of other students to help the leader with the class. As a team leader, I was responsible for delegating certain objectives out to the rest of the team, while also performing my own tasks. Each task had a concrete deadline to meet and it was crucial that I meet all set deadlines if I expected the rest of my team to meet their deadlines. This helped to hold everyone accountable because if one member of the team slacked, then it gave a bad look to the team as a whole. Furthermore, we had a peer review system put in place

This meant being an active and supportive member. I consistently communicated to my team members about upcoming deadlines or if I noticed any improvements that could be done. Because I am a very supporting and caring person, I wanted to provide my team member with help. I made sure to respond to them as soon as possible whenever they contacted the group chat. For example, one of my team members asked a question about stasis. Although I wasn’t sure about the answer, I was able to guide him to the ELMS module that discussed stasis in order for them to find an answer. In addition, I provided support for one of my team members who recently suffered an injury. I found out the day before we were scheduled to present. Although my other team members didn’t really take his injury into much consideration, I did. I made sure he was okay and able to present the next day. Although, he said that he was going to be fine, I problem-solved by thinking of solutions if he wasn’t going to be able to present. Overall, I was an active member and provided support for my team members to ensure that our work gets

In the past year, I've interacted mostly with internal customers, Regions and Project Teams. I've helped a few projects by anticipating problems and raising my concerns or getting MDC the support they need to be successful. I've been able to help the Surgicount, Patterson, First American, SLO, Sage, and Broadridge teams in the past year.

cooperate well with others. Another thing that I am now prepared for any task needed to

The Roman civilization is often seen as an archetypal empire because of its many achievements and system of order. In ancient Rome, the ideal citizen was considered to be someone who placed the needs of the people above his or her own individual wants. Furthermore, citizens were expected to be duty-bound and faithful to both their community and their gods. Virgil, a Roman author, believed in the importance of denying oneself personal happiness in order to benefit the people as a whole. In his Roman epic, The Aeneid, the importance of sacrificing personal wants and desires in order to pursue goals that will benefit the entire community is woven into the fabric of the narrative and acts as the foundation upon which the story is built. Throughout the entire Roman classic, the protagonist, Aeneas, is depicted as being a duty-bound man who must deny himself personal happiness in order to fulfill his purpose – to travel to Italy and establish a new home for the Roman people. Notably, he must sacrifice his relationship with Dido, the queen of Carthage, in order to continue his journey to Italy. Despite his love for Dido, he values the will of the gods more than their relationship, hence why Aeneas has to leave her. Though Aeneas’ actions were necessary in order to ultimately establish a new home for the Romans, his relationship with Dido inevitably suffers because of his choices. Furthermore, Dido suffers more than Aeneas during the collapse of their relationship.

Leading this team was an incredible opportunity that has shaped my entire approach to fostering community collaboration. I continue to co-chair the advisory board of this grant, and since I have supported additional grant advisory boards, coalition meetings, and integrated resource teams to serve our local community and ensure that we are investing our dollars and time to right areas. The most important lesson I have learned when leading a team and building partnerships, is that the focus must be on collaboration not coordination.

When the other team members strayed from their position, or were confused on the task at hand, I was there to get them back on track and productive once again. For our specific scenario, we had to decide upon a database to use. Each of us researched a different database, and compared results as a group. When two members had begun to fight over which database seemed most beneficial, I stepped in and proposed that we logically examine each database together and vote on a final decision. Under my leadership, and the amazing capabilities of every student on the team, we thoroughly impressed the executives, receiving honors for our work.
