Kathy’s Self-Critique This group activity started out with me taking charge in getting things organized. I set up all the shared documents that were needed for the Milestone assignments. I also tried to keep everyone on track by setting up due dates to have things completed by. With working with Caitlin, Danielle, and Emma in the past I somewhat know how they do things. I did ask them if it was okay if I organized things and they seemed to be very appreciative. I would say my strength would be being organized. If I am not organized I have a really hard time concentrating on getting things done. I believe another one of my strengths would be communication. Well, I would say most of the time. Sometimes when I get upset I have to take a breath …show more content…

I mean, I feel like I have to get things started, because I feel like if I do not do it it won’t get done. I feel like I have to be the mother of the group. I have also learned that I have a harder time completing a group activity. I feel like there is so much more pressure, because there are people counting on me to do good. I also do not want to hurt people’s feelings. I have a hard time giving suggestions, because I do not want to upset them. I would like to work on being able to communicate suggestions more easily. Maybe work on a better way to relay the message. I also need to work on not being so nervous when it comes to working with a group. I just need to worry about getting my part done. I am not the mother of the group. I also need to work on just doing my best and not worry about what the rest of the group is going to …show more content…

We set up a group message on Facebook. We tried email, but Facebook seemed to work better. It worked really good when we would have questions about any of the assignments. This way everyone could reply to the question. So we got everyone’s feedback. Due to us all living at least an hour apart from each other the only time we could get together was at school. We did set up times to meet at school and that worked some of the time. One time we were unable to meet to work on the Milestone 1 due to Caitlin, Danielle, and Emma not being at school. I filled most of that assignment out myself and then we discussed it over Facebook. There was also another time when we were going to meet to complete one of the Milestones and Emma was not there. So, Caitlin, Danielle, and I completed ourselves. We have had some issues with Emma not meeting group set deadlines. We have had to remind her many times. I do not like to complain about anyone, but I am really having a hard time with Emma right now. I added my part to our document and she wanted to make a bunch of changes to it. She wanted to add information, change what I wrote, change my sentence structure, and rearrange the whole paper. I understand she has had a lot of experience and education on this subject, but if she wanted the part I took I wish she would have asked me for it instead of trying to rewrite it. I know I need to tell her that. Like I said earlier, I am trying to cool down

    . 4-H is an extraordinary program that integrates boys and girls ages five to nineteen into a fully interactive club that teaches responsibility, the importance of hard work, and sparks interest in some subjects that normally kids wouldn’t even want to learn about. I have been going to 4-H meetings since I was two years old because my older sister joined when she was five. She recently had to drop out in behalf of the amount of homework the high school gave her. I am still in 4-H, and this is my ninth year in the club, I have immensely enjoyed every minute. New projects pop up and take flight, immersing children, young and old, in the wonders of science, sports, farming, and much more. Through all of my years I have been in a great deal of projects ranging from geocaching, Art Journaling, Archery, Sewing, Knitting, Cooking and Baking, Chickens, Primary, Leadership, Art Appreciation, Photography, and many more. For two of my year in 4-H I ran the post of Hostess, where I greeted everyone who came to the meetings. To get elected, we had to write a speech, and present it in front of the entire club, to then be voted on to get the role as leader.

    In the beginning, we decided to allocate specific topics to each individual group member in order to enhance our findings. This worked extremely well for my team as timescales and availability to exchange findings was extremely sparse. It enabled us to divide the work load equally and gain a large amount of research. Due to the mass difference in our timetables it was difficult for us to overcome timescale barriers when setting dates to meet. However, we managed each week to dedicate mutual time to discuss our research findings and begin to design the poster and plan the

  • What Are My Strengths And Weaknesses

    1019 Words  | 3 Pages

    My five strengths according to the strength finder include; balance, this helps me be aware of treating all people equally regardless of the situation. I am neither in anyone 's favor or against anyone as this to me is selfishness and individualism. This would result in a situation where some people scale heights due to connections while others are lagging behind. I believe that a consistent environment where the rules apply to everyone is the best for individuals to function best (Rath, 2007). Flexibility is my next strength. By knowing that things do not always work out as planned has helped me change the tactics of how I perform my tasks. I do not always expect to have a smooth flow of opportunities or accomplish goals, but

  • My Group Worksheet

    508 Words  | 2 Pages

    My group was composed with Cynthia Perez, Luisa Diaz, Karrah Lyday, and I. At first, we could not come up an idea that would benefit the university community until someone in the group mention the parking lot situation every student and faculty member faces in the morning. We did not have a plan at first, but our goal was to finish the question from the worksheet in which Cynthia took over by writing down all the answers. In my opinion, I feel that I did contribute within the group because I helped to answer several questions from the worksheet. Whereas, Cynthia was writing down the answers, as well as, helping the group come up with other ideas. While we were discussing the question in the group, Karrah’s main focus was to finish the tickets and flyers and she did contribute with several ideas for the group as well. Also, Luisa was part of the group in which she helped out the first day because on the second day she was not in class to finish the questions from the worksheet.

    For example, Amanda held significant experience with Head Start programming and could provide the group with leadership as to the gaps she saw in services and the potential ways a grant could meet the needs of Head Start families. Each member was empowered to be their own leader for the section but accepted constructive criticism from other members to fulfill the mutually agreed upon goal of the group to create a succinct paper meeting all the assignment requirements. All members demonstrated flexibility in roles of the group including organizing, uploading, formatting, critiquing, proofreading, clarifying and supporting other

    My flexibility is certainly one of my greatest strengths. I can easily move between different working styles, depending on the scenario. I have no problem trying a new idea or concept out before deciding on a final direction. I am continually exploring different options. Being a “people-person” is one of my other strengths. My excellent interpersonal skills allow for me to bring ideas, thoughts and people together. I generate enthusiasm and excitement into tasks. I feel comfortable and confident talking to others about anything that I have knowledge of.

    After completing the Access group project I will say that I am proud of the work that my group did because the topic appealed to both of us while also providing me with real world skills that I will need in the future. In the past group projects have proven to be challenging but I will say that working with Lena was a great experience. We both learned from each others mistakes and taught each other how to use Excel and Access. The project was very structured due to the multiple deadlines but was just enough of a challenge for the two of us.

  • The Importance Of Group Counseling

    1473 Words  | 3 Pages

    Five characteristics of the initial stage of groups are: acquaintance, risks, building trust, learning about group functioning, and group members finding their place. During the initial stage of groups development group members are getting to know one another. During acquaintance, I would be open with their comments. According to Corey, Corey and Corey (2010), “typically, members bring to the group certain expectations, concerns, and anxieties, and it is vital that they be allowed to express them openly” (p. 107). I have listen to the fears that group members have and encourage them to express them. The group leader needs to learn to deal with the patients fears, thus “the ability of a therapist to instill confidence and trust within the therapeutic frame is essential to therapeutic success” (Ackerman, & Hilsenroth, 2003). I would invite the members to talk about how they are feeling with the group. Inviting discussion is an important role of the group leader, since there would be “moments of silence and awkwardness” (Corey, et. al., 2010, p. 133). Clients also learn

  • Senior Footprint Reflection

    For my senior footprint I really wanted to work in a group since I only have spent one year at NCS. I decided to text some friends and get a group together. My group was: Jillian Johnson, Emma Angell, Sarah Walworth, and Maris Graver. Working in a group is always fun, and mostly beneficially; however, coordinating a schedule that works for everyone can be difficult. So, to start our project those who could make it (Maris, Emma, and I) got together for lunch and began to brainstorm ideas on how we should do our project. We also began to think of answers for all of the questions that needed to be answered. We had some really good conservation about how these last four years impacted us, and had a million memories come to mind. We decided to use

    I worked with another person to try and improve on my group skills, reflect on my past struggles, and try to make my weaknesses become my strengths. In the past group performance, we placed 6th nationally. This achievement had taken a long, hard time to reach. However, despite the win, the certificates, and the multiple medals, it didn’t feel like we had won as a group. In this year's National History Day (NHD) project, I decided to instead do a group exhibit.

  • Student Observation Paper

    First, as said earlier communication is a strong factor shown in this group, communication is the conveying of feelings and sharing ideas, as well as exchanging information between indiviuals to gain better understanding of a subject. For example, on the 8th of this month our teacher assigned us to do a fashion show project, she allowed the students to choose which groups they wanted to be in, student O, student AA, and student A all decided to be in a group together, all students decided together on what they wanted to do. After a few minutes of discussing what concept they wanted to go for Student O decided on a concept and verbally communicated with the other students to make sure that they had all agreed on doing it. After the concept was chosen each student individually announced what clothing item they would wear, when student A was having trouble choosing what type of clothing style they wanted to wear student O would offer ideas showing them what kind of style they could wear, student A always welcomed the ideas and felt comfortable saying whether they disagreed with student O, or thought that it was a good

  • Reflection About Brainstorming

    1048 Words  | 3 Pages

    In my experience and in this small group project I would be one of the more vocal people. By avoiding intimidating or shutting anyone out, it is important to have each person brain write to avoid any hesitation from others. In my current small group, we partake in electronic brainstorming. Each of us sat down at a computer and found articles that we thought was best fit to the solutions to the problem. After finding our articles we then posted them to google docs where we are now in the process of evaluating them. This makes it easier for everyone to find articles that connects to them. When we tired of thinking of new ideas we take a brake and talk about each other’s lives. I like to as all my groups what we plan on doing over the weekend and we also do it in our class when (Dr. Davis) asks us how our weekend was or even what is happening this weekend, giving us a break from thinking about school related items so we can start fresh. Brainstorming is important to do and is the best way to come up with the best

  • My Personal Strengths and Weaknesses

    791 Words  | 2 Pages

    One of my greatest strengths at work that I have recognized would have to be my ability to be a well-organized individual. I tend to write what I have to do down on paper and prioritize what is more important to least important. In doing this, it helps me organize and accomplish my work and meet deadlines that are important. A personal strength that I have at home is patience. I am a mother of a beautiful three year old little girl who is a handful. Patience is my greatest strength as a parent and individual which I possess especially being a single mother. I am a dedicated and hard working mother and I always make sure that my daughter gets the love and attention she needs.
