TEAMWORK is best.. right?

There's always a time when you think things don't feel like how it should be going. Doesn't that just suck?

"What are they expecting of me? What should I do? Should I just shut up and listen to whatever they're saying?" if you ever thought those questions, well here's what you should do:

1. Stop thinking about these questions - just ask them. It might scare the person or it might make the person meaner. But it's all good! At least they how you feel.. a bit.
2. Don't shut up and listen. Sometimes it's good to give in your input - what if you don't like what that person is telling you to do? If they say go jump off the cliff? would you do it? I hope not. I really hope you do NOT jump off a cliff. I am not giving any suggestions for you to do so.. So don't!
3. If the person thinks that they're all that and that they should be the grand master of the plan, tell them it's a group effort and that they shouldn't be bossing people around. "There is no I in TEAM."
4. If anything fails, back it up. There's a reason why it's GROUP work - if one person falls, another person should be there to help..

I'm sorry if I rambled, but I've been told most of my school-life that, "Where ever you go in life, there's always a chance you'll be stuck in group presentations or group work".. something along those lines.

Now excuse me, as I go kill a mosquito that has been flying around my room for a while.

C-Y-I! HUUUUH!

Opportunity!

Museum of Chinese in America’s
Docent Training Program with Voices of Young Chinese America
Throughout the 2008-2009 school year, MOCA will be bringing together a group of 10-
12 youth who will be trained to facilitate interactive, exhibition-based gallery programs
in the Museum and lead neighborhood walking tours for a wide range of audiences.
These youth will participate in an intensive training on Chinese American history and
culture, oral history, research, public speaking, group facilitation and museum education.
Upon completion of the training, participants will become part of the museum docent
team, where they will lead group tours and receive ongoing training.

I will post forms and deadlines later with more information, unless this post is deleted.
