Best wishes

As we draw near the end of the course I began to reflect on how supportive my colleagues have been with the encouraging words and thoughtful insight I feel honored to be connected to intellectual individuals. My colleagues have forced me to think and dig deeper into situations that I might have not seen the way they did. Jennifer Speer, I hope you do not mind me calling you out) has provided me with several supportive comments from my blogs to my discussion questions. Thank you Jennifer  for your strong insight and positive words.
While being supported I certainly did my part to be supportive to my colleagues. I have supported my colleagues by reflecting on their insight and providing them with positive feedback. I have supported my colleagues by allowing them to feel comfortable agreeing or disagreeing with my thoughts as well as  being supported. I certainly did my part to be supportive to my colleagues. I have supported my colleagues by reflecting on their insight and providing them with positive feedback. I have supported my colleagues by allowing them to feel comfortable agreeing or disagreeing with my thoughts and feelings. 
As we continue our matriculation through our graduate studies I wish my colleagues the best in the future endeavors. My wish for my colleagues is that they apply all that they have learned in this course for the betterment of children in the community

Adjournment

My sophomore year of college I began the process of pledging Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority inc. There were six young ladies that completing the tedious process with me. All six woman came from different walks of life, however we developed a bond. We were more like sisters, we all treated each other as if we had the same parents.
Senior year came so fast and I was the only graduating. We had several events to celebrate my departure. Graduation day had arrived and although I was excited about me future the bitter sweetie feel arose as I hug my "sisters" goodbye. 

I do not believe I will take my adjournment from my group of colleagues I have formed while working on your master's degree in this program very hard. Although I have developed a relations with my colleague I have come to realize I develop closer bonds with people I communicate with face to face. 

Adjournment is an essential stage to teamwork because it allows you a chance to leave on a good note. People will remember how you left. Adjournment allows closure.

Communication/conflict

My roommate and I moved in to a luxurious apartment in buckhead. A week prior to the move I realize that my new roommate had an in enormous amount of items she would be bringing with her. I spoke to my future roommate (which by the way her name is Brittney) about having to downsize. Considering she had been living on her own for the last five years and had accumulated a great amount of household items. I spoke with Brittney in particular about a very large 3 piece entertainment system which would fit in the living room however what caused the living room to look cluttered. I made Brittney aware of my feelings towards clutter. Brittany explained how we were going to have to make it work because she would not be willing to throw it away nor put the entertainment system in storage. The day of the move finally arrived in the entertainment system was in the living room after viewing how cluttered  it made the apartment feel,I began to get upset. Brittney seeing my frustration asked me if there was something that we could do so that we both were happy. I was too upset to think, it looks cluttered in the living room and you don't want to put it in storage. I saw no other way we both would be happy..While vent to a friend he suggested that we break the system down into 3 parts, one part stayed in the living room and we both took a part and used it as our television stand in our rooms. Great idea I thought strategy I could have used would have been compromise from the beginning however I didn't not see how it could work in both of our favor.


Yesterday I wanted to take my male friend out to dinner. We went to a fancy restaurant downtown and had a lovely meal. Once the check came he reached and grab I insisted that he give me the check so that I may pay. He insisted in the opposite direction. I explained to him that I wanted to take him out which meant that I should pay. He explained to me that he only agree just to get me to go but he knew he would still pay. After about 5 minutes of debate on who would pay the tab, I gave in an allowed him to pay for our dinner. My male friend feels as if a man should pay for the woman and I hesitantly allowed him. We would could have better communicated our feeling prior to the dinner so that neither one of us is feel awkward about paying or not paying. To my readers do you believe that since I offered to take him out should he have allowed me to pay for the meal?
