I can't believe that our class has come to a close. I am so happy to have met some of the nicest people and to call you guys my friends :)
My ultimate favorite lesson was the Myers Briggs section. I really enjoyed learning more about myself and how to use my personality traits to become a better leader. I also really enjoyed the project, despite all of the work that it required. It taught me how to give a formal presentation (I had never had a formal presentation before) and how to pitch an idea. As for the overall class, I really enjoyed finding that leader within me. By taking this class, I can see the leadership that others have around me as well as the leadership that I have. This class was a great experience and I would most definitely recommend it to other students.
As for my future, I hope to use my leadership skills on my team and in my classes. Looking further ahead, I hope to use my leadership skills in the work force when I am older.

Group Development
After thinking about videos that display the first stage stage in Tuckman's stages of group formation, I thought of a movie that perfectly described Tuckman's stages.
The stage missing is the very first stage, forming. In the video clip above, the kids from the Breakfast Club are all put together and find themselves there for very different reasons. Towards the end of this clip, they find a common purpose- to leave the detention room.
As for the other clips, the first clip appeared to be the fourth stage: performing. In this stage they were all flexible and willing to help their struggling teammate to complete what needed to be done.
The second clip displays the fifth stage: adjourning. In this clip, the genie is set free and they say their goodbyes. Achievements are remembered and looked back upon with happiness.
The third clip is stage two due to the members of the football team not gelling as one, but staying separated as individuals.
Lastly, the fourth clip demonstrates the third stage: norming. In this clip, the fish come together to reach their goal. They begin to work together and accept each other's viewpoints.
