Retreat and Week 8

The retreat I thought went really well! The ice breakers were very beneficial and I learned a little to a lot about everyone. Kayla did a great job going deeper with her ice breaker than a lot of other people did. I feel like it was very beneficial to our group as a whole.

Giving a presentation at the retreat was a little bit different than a usual retreat. I feel like it was a little rough going a lot later than we were supposed to. I know that Brooke and I could have done a better job at presenting the information but, I feel like it was great experience for the coming year. It was also really hard going on a sunday. People just want to relax or focus on homework. Everyone had a lot on their minds about the coming week, and spring break! It was a great reminder that I need to stay focused and be energized for each and every lecture.

The exercise that Nikki and Matt suggested that we looked at asked us to focus on our strongest and weakest leadership practices and why we selected them. My strongest leadership practice is the ability to talk to anyone, I selected this practice because I have always loved talking and relating to people is one of my favorite things to do! It allows me to share my experiences and what I have learned to connect with others, rather than just telling them what to do.

I can't to see how we can use our strengths and weaknesses to help teach our students next year. I can't wait to further my skills as a leader in the future!
