Teamwork...Brittany Delaney
This semester every student was put in an english team, and was expected to work together to achieve the final goal of growing as a english group. I had never really talked to the people that were put in my team so i was kind of hesitant to believe that we could ever grow close. As the year started to progress, we began understanding eachothers flaws and strengths, and learning eachothers personality traits. We started hanging out together after school and depending on eachother in ways other than just academic needs. I started to trust my team not just as fellow students but as friends. As i started to get to know the people on my team, i started to love them for all of the diversity that our group shared. Zach had the idea that our team should meet for pink berry after school one day to bond and get to know eachother better. when we arrived it was kind of quiet and awkward, but as the meeting progressed everyone started to loosen up and before we knew it we were all laughing and having a great time. As we came into class the next day, and earned our first participation sticker, we felt accomplished and like we were finally an official team. From that day on, we knew that we could count on eacother and that i had met a new group of people that had become friends that i loved. I want my team to know that i appreciate them and the support that they give me in english class. I have truly met an amazing group of people that have opened my eyes to a better understanding of what teamwork really means. I love you all and i can't wait to see what next semester will bring us!

I really like the ideas that are presented within this blog post. I understand that the team bonding activity worked smoothly for your team. Within our group, we have some "diverse" participants in which no one would like to hang out with. I applaud your understanding of overcoming the obstacles of spending time with people who you don't like in order to better your team. I enjoyed the happiness you employed within the subliminal textual meanings and will keep my head held high next Tuesday during my group meeting.
