Role Model

Well I have been really sick the past 5 days, and sadly I’m just writing my blog post for last week. This is the first homework I have really done since I’ve gotten sick though, and it actually feels to good to be doing something besides sleeping all the time.

Amy and Rachel did a fantastic job last week leading our class. I really liked the activity you two chose for us to do. It was interactive with everyone, and we got to get out of our seats and move around. It also made people make hard decisions about themselves. We had to choose, of the three on the board at the time, our strength and our weakness. You know people were taking the time to think, and try to make thought out decisions, because there were numerous times when people wanted to stand in the middle between two choices. I really like activities that make people do that short of thinking. You don’t allow them to stand in the middle; they have to make a definite choice about themselves.

I also really enjoyed listening to everyone share about who their role model is and why. I think it reflects on who they want to be themselves. I know for me, my mom is my role model. She had me when she was 18 years old and still in high school. She later was divorced with two kids, decided to go back to school while still working to supports us. She didn’t let anything get in her way, and she never sacrificed my sister’s or my well being to do it. I look up to her and when I think of all she went through, I feel like nothing should ever stand in my way.

Sorry again this post is a few days late. I look forward to seeing everyone again next week!
