Week Five

Hey World,

Well I am super pumped about this week.  Around 50 degree weather and of course Hixson Class!!!  I enjoyed class last week, the format was a bit different because of having to have two complete lessons in one class period, but I believe the message got across very well and both groups did a great job!  Well since I messed up and talked about chapter four last week I don't have a lot to talk about this week.

With that said I thought I would just review some of the highlights of my learning the last several weeks.  I believe a high point for me so far would have to still be the MBTI.  I was amazed at how accurate that test was in seeing what kind of person/personality I am and was able to break it down in to such accurate little sections. I still believe that it is a test that everyone should take once in their lives.  Another highlight is really getting to know the other peer mentors.  It has been relieving to know that there are other people out there that share the same concerns as I do.  It is also great having so many people I feel like I could talk to if I had to.

To kind of revert back to chapter four and last weeks class the subject of confidentiality stuck with me.  In my previous work and leadership experience I have noticed that it is hard for a lot of people not to gossip or talk about fellow coworkers or students behind their back.  This is always something that has made me uncomfortable.  I am glad it was covered in our lesson we discussed it somewhat.  Nothing can hurt a relationship more than being caddy or talking about information that was supposed to remain personal with others.

All in all I have had a good experience so far and I hope I continue to have a great time and an interesting and developing experience.
