So far, the team involvement is just in its initial stages. Everyone seems motivated and exciting. Once again, I feel like I am the slacker, since I am the last one to get my posting up. However, I at least told everyone upfront. This is not usually how I operate in the course. I am usually a little bossy and wanting to be the first one to post, trying to put my ideas out first. My other commitments are preventing the initiation stages. Also, I am practicing trying to be a better community member by just relaxing and not worrying so much about if it will get done. If it will all come together and meet my expectations on how the final product to look.
In prior group experiences, when I saw the final product I was seriously concerned about how it turned out and what was going to be turned in. I stepped on some toes by making changes that were not really "bought into" by the other group members. I didn't hear any negative responses and they all agreed that the changes improved the paper. However, I felt like they maybe were put off. So, by taking a back seat I am hoping to make more friends. It also feels so much better not being a control freak.
So this time, I am really pretty relaxed, impressed with my team. I would like to know my other team members a little better. The blogs are helping. So, I'm just along for the ride trying to learn as much as I can, wanting to make more relationships, and wanting to learn how to best form the relationships and put together a successful project.
I can't wait to learn more about my team members and watching our team grow. I know that this will be a great experience.
