I think high-performing groups are
hardest to leave. It is not only because it is working well but also it has a history
that makes it a part of my identity. I have always had an important team since I
was a child. Some of the teams that were hard to leave were my volleyball team,
McDonald’s where I worked while I was in college and a school where I taught as
an English teacher. I think they were hard to leave because I had memories of
working together for goals and had achieved some of them, and the members grew by
helping and learning from each other. Except for the volleyball team, I had
parties as a kind of ritual. It is nice to have a ritual to be able to thank
teammates and say good-bye to them.
I imagine that adjourning from my colleagues
will be hard but also somewhat happy too because I will be sad not to be able
to have contacts with them often but I will be glad that they will be thrive as
early educational professionals as they wish to. I think adjourning is essential
because we need to move onto our next goals. It will benefit the organizations
we belong to and help us to grow up.
Aya,
ReplyDeleteI thought about your comments on leaving our classmates and agree that I will have mixed emotions. I have enjoyed our discusses and blog posts so no longer having that connection makes me sad in some ways but knowing what I will hopefully have accomplished will make me happy and proud.
Aya,
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is difficult to leave a team that flourishes. It’s something about being able to say that you were a part of something great. I also agree that adjourning from my colleagues will be a bittersweet moment.
Aya,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog. Adjourning with my coleagues will be bittersweet. I have learned a great deal of information from colleagues. They have been a wealth of resources in the early childhood field. Thanks for sharing you knowledge with us!
Aya,
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed reading your posts to the discussion board and your blog. The perspective you have shared has helped me understand how difficult it can be at times to have a different frame of reference. I appreciated your honesty and willingness to share your feelings openly. As we move on to the final few classes on the journey to our Master's Degree, I wish you the very best in all that you do.
