Personal Narrative: My Role As A Group Leader
After receiving all the growth opportunities from you and Tina were great because now I know where I need to improve on as a counselor. However, as I walked out of the counseling room and was finally able to absorb and sort through all the strengths and growth opportunities that was about my role as the group leader, it dawn to me how ineffective of a group leader I was. This gut punching feelings made me question whether or not this career path was suited for me. By not processing certain thoughts with members or challenging them was a disservice for them. I was so consume with this disgusted feeling that I sat in my car in the school parking lot for half an hour just sitting with my thoughts and feelings. I know that I am my worst critic

    My personal mission statement is to be the best that I can be and work hard to help others be the best they can be. This statement is important to me because I have always found that I am at my best when I am helping people, whether its helping people at my job or at the grocery store. There are many things that fall into place with that, which to me, mainly includes education, because I am a student and I work in a college where I work with students and I listen to their problems and relate to them. So education is very important in general, but to me Community and Industry Education is very important and important to a lot of people.

    Throughout my life I have encountered many circumstances that have shaped me into the person I am today. I was born in Moroleon, Guanajuato, Mexico. I attended school in Mexico all the way to second grade. In the summer of 2006 I moved to Cumming, Georgia. It was the hardest thing to do because I left everything that I care the most about. We lived in a trailer which was not the nicest place and in the middle of the forest. I started school at the beginning of August. I had always loved school so I was so excited for the first day. I knew it was going to be hard because I would have to conquer so many obstacles on the way. At this time the only English I knew was probably counting from one to ten and some of the colors. My Father knew some…

    When I moved from the eastside to the westside of Dearborn in 2006, I felt distraught. I barely knew anyone that went to Bryant Middle School. I wanted to return home and talk to my friends that went to Woodworth Middle School, in East Dearborn. To comfort me with a pet, my brothers took me along with them to the Dearborn Animal Shelter. We combed through several cages containing cats; we saw an adorable three-legged cat, a beautiful calico cat, and some cute white kittens. We then came upon a cage containing a small white and black cat named Ring Leader. Ring Leader was 5 months old at the time. He was lightly shedding, climbing over the shelter worker, and feverishly looking around. Ring Leader seemed like an energetic and fun cat, so I chose…

    I wake up with a different feeling in my stomach knowing that its game day. Now I'm not talking about college game day, or even NFL Sundays. I’m talking about U of D Jesuit High School game day. Whether it is basketball, football, hockey, soccer, or lacrosse, all I can think about, from the moment I wake up, is leading the best student section in the state later that day. Ever since I was a 7th grader, I had always dreamed of being a section leader. When my dream finally came true senior year, I was ecstatic. Being a section leader was a key ingredient for what was going to be an amazing senior year. I love being a section leader because every time I’m out there, I know that there is a 7th grader, at the top row of the section, waiting…

    In chapter 12, the key event to me was when Claudia and Finn talked to each other through the keys. I felt many emotions when reading their interaction one of them being happy. I felt happy when they talked to each other because it was a turning point in the story in my opinion. I also felt surprised because at first, I thought by having two keys, there would be a lock that would need both keys to hear and speak to each other. I also felt confused by the way they conversed; How could they now hear each other but not before. I think by having one key being touched, the other key can hear because on page 153 Claudia says she breathed and rubbed on the key making it warm and on page 154 Finn says when he touches the key it's warm.I like the way the author wrote the scene from both perspectives, it gave us the readers a clearer understanding of how both Finn and Claudia felt. I also like how the author described the way both keys affect each other and have a "key" connection.…

    My group forming experience begins every new school year when the math and business teachers come together to form the math/business department. The school has several departments but this particular department is headed by me. This year is comprised of twelve members. This is quite lagre according to S. Robbins et al, (2013) who states that the most effective teams have 5 – 9 members. Most experts suggest using the smallest number of people who can do the task. So there in lies the challenge. The forming stage puts together all the teachers who teach math and or business. The leader is selected by the principal. The storming stage commences with a number of department meetings to plan and structure the entire school year with plans to have…

Going into the role play I was nervous and uncomfortable and was anticipating a challenging experience. After seeing the other role plays I knew that the topic I would cover would not be an easy one, but honestly in life when in life are topics ever easy?…

    My mother, “Regina Hopkins,” has been a positive influence in my life. She has raised 6 kids all by herself as well as earned a Bachelor’s degree in nursing from a City College in Gainesville, Florida. My mother has been through pretty much everything a person can go through outside of war and was still able to be there and provide for all 6 of her kids. In high school, my mother wanted to play football and couldn't because she was a girl and back-in-the-day women were not allowed to play football with the guys. However, she remained strong by raising 6 kids and independently took care of all of us on her own. My mother has several qualities that I would love to develop. The first quality she has is balance; she certainly knows how to make…

    This week reminded me how amazing and important my job is. Friday was a busy day at the office; I was rushing to finish my work so I could leave on time. As I was about to leave I received a phone call from a hiring manager (Mark) with NOAA. Mark had questions about the interview process and was calling to speak to one of my colleagues. Unfortunately, my colleague was on vacation and wouldn’t be back for another week. I looked at the clock and realized it was time to go but I could hear the frustration in Mark’s voice. Instead of leaving, I spent almost an hour listening to Mark’s concerns, answering his questions, and I explained how the federal hiring process works. At the end of our conversation, Mark thanked me for my time and he told me…

    At first, I did not know what to expect from my new teammates. But as everyone piled into the basement, the cordiality between the students was unavoidable. Each person shook the others’ hands and mine, as if it was Sunday mass in a Catholic church. We were a community, not just a team thrown together to accomplish one task and to leave, never seeing each other again. As far as the next person was concerned, we were here to stay, and ready to fully dedicate ourselves in the work we had ahead of us. We were motivated.…
