LAA Reflection

We had to do a reflection today based on our life after americorps..I feel like it was pretty good so ill just post my responses here so you guys can see whats going on in my head:
1) demonstration and mastery of change: the entire time I've been in americorps I've been out of my "comfort zone" but I've accepted it and learned to embrace the discomfort and try to grow from it. I feel like my greatest contribution to the communities weve been serving has been my openness to learn as much as possible both through hands on work and service learning opportunities. The skills I've gained throughout my time have primarily been focused on team work ie compromise, communication, and coflict resolution. Flexibility is now a very strong trait of mine, not everything you do is "desirable" but it has to be done and sometimes you have to be willing to take the bad job or do extra work when you don't want to for the overall being of the team.
2) build and sustain effective teams: although my team is solid we still have issues when it comes to communication, often it takes someone being pushed too far for us to even acknowledge a problem. I've learned a lot from being on a team, mostly about myself. I learned im not always right but that doesn't mean im necessarily wrong, I also realize everyone should partake in group decisions thst effect us all because when that fails to happen it's impossible to work as cohesive group, it then becomes individuals. Living with so many different people has introduced me to ideas I've never even considered so im thankful for the diversity even if its not apparent when you look at us how different we truly are. I bring flexibility to the team as well as a sense of organization. I try to contribute these attributes in team meetings. I've learned I need to communicate my feelings to the team better, even if it is difficult.
