People don't lie when they say that ten weeks passes quickly. This quarter has seemed long and short all at once. When I think back to week one of this class, I had no idea what I was getting into. But judging by the first class, I knew it wasn't going to be a normal regular class. The class involvement is what made this class enjoyable. Knowing that what you put in is what you get out made me want to be a better leader.
But what I loved about this class was the fact that it provided me the opportunity to dig deep and let my inner self take over. I feel like it does not happen very often where one can truly say what is on one's mind. There is not a lot of room for digging deep and talking about issues that make people uncomfortable. When we did the activity where we all lined up and took a step if the situation applied to us, I felt so vulnerable. But there was no other room of people that I'd rather be vulnerable with.
Looking forward from here, I am a little fearful because I knew what it took to be a leader on my high school campus, but I don't know what it takes to be a leader here at Santa Clara. I want to dive right in and get involved, but I am a little intimidated because it is so late in the year and I do not know what I will be most passionate about. But seeing everyone in the class being involved in various organizations on campus inspired me a bit. I want to stay busy and get involved and give back. This class gave me the push to do so.

Tuckman's Stages of Group Development
This was by far one of my favorite blog assignments because I love watching any form of Disney! :)
Here is what I thought that each clip pertained to:
Clip One (Coach Carter): Norming because of the quote "We're all doing this together!". Seeing the players work together to help someone else out who was in conflict not only resolved the conflict but involved cohesion around shared goals.
Clip Two (Aladdin): Adjourning because after the genie was let out from granting wishes and his lamp, he was free to be his own person. But this was a bittersweet moment because of the fact that Aladdin would not see him very much anymore. There was definitely a feeling of loss in that tear jerking moment.
Clip Three (Remember the Titans): Storming because the two players were butting heads about how to run the team and there was some negativity in the air a midst the football player's sweat. This is my favorite movie of all times and I love this scene because it is basically the storm before the calm, after the players get out all of their differences they end up working together towards a championship! It is a movie that gets me everytime.
Clip Four (Nemo): Performing because Nemo and his fishy friends were definitely putting their plans into action to work together to get Nemo back to his dad. There were great examples of teamwork and leadership when Gil sacrificed himself to help Nemo. He organized and carried out an effective plan to save the little fishy. This is a great example of fish being friends and not food.
Clip Five (Mulan):
Forming because Mulan is trying to find her place in the world of the warriors and fails before actually understanding it. But we see the tasks that she needs to accomplish and we see the leaders emerging in order to get those tasks done.
