          How my colleagues have supported me?

               It have been a tremendous pleasant during this school year, and I think that all of my colleagues are my family. Because what we have gone through and been in the same class for a period of time. We have taken several classes together, and that make me feel increasable firm and willing to learn from others. My colleagues have supported me in numerous ways than they know. I have learned to have confident in myself, and I can become who I want to. I have obtained to love myself more now because of my confidence has increased during this time period in class. I have learned never be afraid to ask questions if you do not understand about something. It is essential to have confidence and know that whatever do, do it in the moderation of love and humanity. I have learned to honor all men and diversity of people. It take all of the people to make the world go around whether you are black, white, Hispanic or Indians. If we learn to work together, progress will be and will be finish because of the togetherness. I have learned by working together develop friendships and concerns about each other. I can honestly say that since I started this course I have gained many faithful friends through by means of Cyber internet. I remember I posted the wrong analysis and Lizzie sent me an e-mail letting me know that it was the wrong debate. I thank God for my classmates they are unique in my heart and mind.

The Last Good-Byes

            In my first group project, it did not go so well because everything went wrong for me. My computer was acting up because I did not realize that I needed to download adobe on my computer. The leader was upset with me and went and reported me to the teacher. She and another member was conversation me and another member in the study. I thought it was very unprofessional. But the teacher took care of it and explained to me that I need to download the adobe on my computer. The team leader and her partner asked me to forgive them which I did. But there was no trust, respect, and no listening skills in this project especially, on the team leader side.

After everything was completed, and we began the project individuals has to do something in the design. It was four of us my duty was getting the information we needed for our project. I was very shocked and surprised when team leader Sharon and the members agree to go with School Bullying for our topic for the project. I went to Blytheville high school and got the School Bullying Policy. We began to gather the information we needed to put the plan together. When everyone put their minds, heads, and energy together as a team, the leader did her part. Everyone began to communicate and asking questions about the project. When one could not find or accomplish their part, we would volunteer and help get the project together.

We did an excellent job I was excited about working together with people I did not even know. But at this moment we began to feel like we were at home. We knew that the end was near, and we did not want it to come to the finish line not just yet. We did not want it to end because everyone started to communicate and dialogue lead to relationships. This is what I gained in this project forever friendship between the people I collaborated with during this project. I hated for this section of my life to end because I learned that when people communicate with each other they form a bond. When we come together, we can conquer anything we set minds to. It is very hard to say good-bye when you get to know the people you are working with. Because you have grown closer through by means of communication.

The Disagreements/Conflicts

          


         On September 30th 2013, I was called to the central office where the center Director needed to see and communicate with me. It was 1:00pm when I came into the office and sat down Mrs. Scott came in and asked how are you? I replied, “Bless and thankful.” Mrs. Scott told me that she wanted me to go and work at this new place called Focus. I have been employed by MCAEOC going on 13 years, and I have never had a steady job area. I have to trained people and never get paid for it, so I was just fed up with the bounding around. I tried to explain to Mrs. Scott that my granddaughter was going to the center where I worked at. I have gone through a divorce, and I just wanted her to understand. She told me that was I concerned about getting my granddaughter home. I told her that I was not complaining, but I just needed her to understand about the situation about the time. Leah had to be picked up from school. I just wanted her to just have a little compassion on me and granddaughter.

We was In that office about two and a half hours discussing the move to focus. I knew it was not being fair to me being switched around like a piece of trash. I was just hurt because Mrs. Scott has taken my classroom. Gave it to these two teachers who do not know what they are doing. So I seem that I was not getting nowhere with Mrs. Scott, so I decided to take the matter into my own hands. I said, “How many are you going to pay me when I leave to focus?” I knew if I can get her to focus on salary wise I was not going anywhere. She told me there was no money and why did I need to ask that question. I asked do I think I need the race and that thing was on a freeze. The other strategy was talk with a soft voice and show kindness and appreciation. I made a statement that I said to Mrs. Scott.” If I do not look good, you want look good.” I put the ‘’Platinum Rule to treat other as I want them to treat you.” I saw that I was not getting anywhere with Mrs. Scott, so I decided to use the three 3’s respect, reciprocal, and responsive interaction. I began to show respect because she is my employer and saying yes madam, and no madam. When I began to use these strategies, I got what I wanted to stay at my center. Mrs. Scott decided to send me back to my center where I belong. Because I was honest and professional by telling her the way I feel about her and the way she handles situations. I just wanted to be treated fairly and justice.
