Personal Narrative: One Common Denominator

The beginning of the assignment started off bad but ended on a positive note. As the deadline drew closer, the group members were forced to find a common ground in regards to the specific time the group discussions would be conducted. To address the lack of communication, Marcelo, one of the group members, laid out the goal we needed to complete. After this was done the project fell into place and was competed on

When I was extended seven feet above the ground, I knew we had succeeded. My two bases were in front of me and my backspot was behind me. I heard the familiar counts of my backspot “one, two, three, four”, I bounced and pushed myself up into my bases waiting hands, “five, six, seven, eight”, I straightened as my bases lifted me up to chest level. I locked my knees and stayed tight. I put on a smile and looked ahead. I felt my backspot release her hold on my ankles. I heard her voice once again, “extension, one, two, three, four”, I brought my hands down to my sides and focused on staying tight as I slowly rose, “five, six, seven, eight. I was all the way up. Then a few moments later I heard the counts as they brought me to chest level then back down to the ground. We had done it, we had hit the stunt and did an extension.

In this paper I will discuss how a team leader assesses how big the team is needed in order to accomplish the task assigned to them. This paper will also discuss the how conflicts can arise while trying to meet their goals. Such as which person works better in certain areas. I will also talk about how a team leader resolves their problems that may accure. In addition I will also discuss if team work will take longer to complete task along with some of its advantages. I will also point out some of the resistors to team work like not have the proper tools or supplies. I will also discuss how to be proactive so

Of course the norm for me is that of any citizen living in zone three.

1. The 2nd case study made me reflect on my first head coaching job in football. I was hired by a school in south Texas with the help of a friend I coached with in Oklahoma. He had moved back to his hometown and started teaching and coaching at his high school. He contacted me about the opening and two months later I was hired. I hired him to be one of my assistants and even made sure that he was paid well as a thank you. I was very disappointed with the way he coached that year. I had already make arrangements to move him to a non-coaching position for the next season. I realize I never spoke with him about my expectations or made him aware of how I felt during the season. I identity with Dr. Skinner is some regards. I was caught up in the other aspects of teaching, coaching, and AD duties, I neglected to take care of that issue. I understand that it is OK to hire a trusted colleague or friend but the expectations of them should not be any different of anyone else.

In this reflection, I choose to write about the assignments surrounding my object, the Albina mural project documentary film. The research part of the assignment for the annotated bibliography required working in teams. For the most part, I really enjoyed this experience since it forced me into a situation where I had to find a way of incorporating everyone's thoughts and ideas in a manner that complemented and respected each of our individual leadership styles. At first, it was difficult to find a way of holding everyone accountable so that there would not be shifting blames at the end of the project. However, as a group, we decided to go with a divide and conquer approach. This was effective and efficient, however, I realize in the real world this only works when every team member does their part in a timely fashion. During the research phase, I learned quite a bit about myself that I didn't know in high school. For example, when I have to, I am willing to be the person that steps up to the plate and takes charge. Taking on more of a driver’s role is something I would like to continue expanding moving forward. While researching I also learned how to utilize a variety of different resources in a way that helped uncover the information I needed. At first, I was frustrated with the lack of information

The details of organization structure are part of this experience, our struggles in firing a member, working together on details, and communicating clearly were all evident last week. I felt like we needed to fire one team member before last week. There had been no response, and I knew it was going to hurt the team effort; but I also felt like the person needed an opportunity to contribute, as well as not wanting to be the team member who expressed the idea of firing someone else. If I can go back to chapter nine, I believe groupthink caused each of us to hesitate, even when we all knew what needed to be done. The third question on the assessment dealt with the genuine belief that others can do as well as I can, and I answered mostly true. I do believe that all people are capable, and need opportunities to succeed and prove it to themselves, but question seven was also answered mostly true, which stated that I get upset when someone doesn’t do the task correctly. That is the contrast between the perfectionist in me and the delegator. I enjoy the text messages and conversations on discussion boards in the collaborative work of classes, but when it comes to a team project, I worry about someone else not being as motivated or not getting the work in on time. I don’t mean that about my team members right now, I am reflecting more on past team projects in school. It has always been a couple of us doing most of the work, so we could bail

As noted by the counselor, some of the girls felt they had done the assignment wrong, while others became frustrated. However, group members assisted each other, and together they figured the project out. Similarly, with the clay projects, some members struggled with working with clay; acting silly and immature. Nevertheless, as the weeks progressed, the feelings of anxiety and frustration diminished as members became more confident with the activities, group process, and each other(pg.213).

When you crash into a truck and your car flips over four times, usually you die. In my case I’m just in a coma, lying in a hospital bed. There are two problems with this. For starters, I’ve been in this coma since 2008 and it’s nearly 2016. The doctors say that pretty soon they’ll have to pull the plug on me because I’m not showing any signs of waking up any time soon. Apparently, I’m taking up a bed that could be used for some other sick kid. The second problem is that I’m not just lying half-conscious, but I’m in another world. This may sound crazy, but it’s true. When you become comatose your brain pulls a few strings and sends you to a lovely place called The Inbetween. The Inbetween is filled with people who are in situations similar to mine, but how they ended up like this could be different. The world is peaceful and everything until you realize the downside. When you wake up in the strange world, the first thing you notice is the bright blue tattoo embed onto your forearm. Every person here has a different one, and you can not leave until you find your match. This process could, unfortunately, take days, weeks, or even years. Sadly if your match dies before they can even get here, then you pass away as well. I have been stuck here for almost eight years and I’ve had no luck with finding my match. I wander around all day, greeting new people and asking them to have a peek at their ink and no one has

My greatest struggle this week was trying to find the least common denominator of two fractions. I quickly remember how to solve equations and converting fractions into mixed numbers. But I had to read the section over and over and worked through the feature to help me solve the problem to find the least common denominator. I feel as if that skill is not mastered and need much improvement because fractions are a part of everyday life.

I frowned, and internally berated myself for allowing myself to be put in such a position. I sighed, realizing that I did, after all, have no one to blame but myself. As I took my place at the table, the frostiness from one side was almost palpable. Perhaps I was overthinking it, but she certainly did not look up when I sat down, whereas the other two greeted me cordially, at least on a surface level. After all, who can blame them, does any student truly enjoy group projects? I realized very quickly that we were getting nowhere fast, and I did not have all day to waste. Patience was running thin, and tempers were beginning to flair. However, any suggestion I made was immediately stonewalled by Jess, who sat opposite me. I realized then that I would have to change my strategy if I were to make any headway in the meeting. To this end, I resolved to employ integration and rationality in order to create order and progress within our group project and avoid an imminent rebuttal. I chose these two because ingratiation and rationality can be powerful tools in the repertoire of any communicator looking to convince another disinterested party. To this end, I

Compose teams this would fuse picking people who give the fundamental mix of learning, aptitudes, limits, and related inclusions that power accomplishment and the qualities, social capacities, and motivations that engage the gathering to work effectively together. Forming a group is not a simple undertaking, this activity limit includes picking a sidekick of individual’s will's character powerful in accomplishing the gathering task plot by the affiliation and after that ensuring that the mix of individuals is appropriate as time goes on as the gathering makes and builds up its condition. This gathering specialist work incorporates two key assignments. The essential undertaking incorporates altering the structure of the gathering to the errand

Unfortunately I won't be in class today I'm stuck in the hospital once again with an upper respiratory infection and the flu my throat closed up Saturday night so there keeping me the until Thursday to make sure I'm okay. But just to make sure today in class where going over Russia and China right? And I'm not sure because I don't have my paper was there something about extra credit?

Next , after I wanted for my division to be called I was out in the area with a lot of really good looking hogs and in my head I was freaking out. So the first and second places people out of the three classes, all the first place winners go out and that was me. With the hog not walking again, I still got picked for grand in my division. I think I was the most surprised, but what can i say i amd going back out in a minute. When my dad met me at the fence he told I had a good chance. So there I was freaking out again and excited about what I could get.

Group work is not fun; in fact, group work is the vain of my existence. Being forced to work together with other busy students to create a project that I could have created on my own in the fraction of the time is not something I was looking forward to when I received the prompt for assignment four. As I had originally anticipated, but wrongly expected, the freedom of choice during this assignment, I already had the perfectly selected group of motivated workers planned out, so I was even less excited when I found out I would be prescribed a group. However, to my pleasant surprise, two of the members from my dream group were in my actual group, and the group ended up being entirely female, a clear advantage in my eyes as some boys can be difficult
