Why Being A Part Of A Team Is Important

What being on team has taught me throughout the years.

Why Being A Part Of A Team Is Important
Vorkspace

Throughout these past few years of my life I have genuinely started to appreciate everything I have been blessed with. One thing in particular, the teams I have been a part of. Many people think that a team is just a group of people that work with each other and share similar interests, but little do they know its a whole lot more than that. I believe that there is something so eye opening about being apart of a team that everyone should experience at some point in their life. Throughout your life, being supported and cared for is an essential and being on a team, (whatever the team may be) will get you there.

To me, a team is a family. Although being apart of a team means you do have to work with people you're not accustomed to, it opens your eyes to new people and new experiences that can benefit you in the long run and in most cases bring your team closer to one another, turning them into more of a family than just people you are forced to work with. A team is a group of people that works together to get the job done no matter the challenge. They know the weirdest and craziest things about you and care about you endlessly. For me, I wouldn't give up being on a team for the world. Frequently, people think, "Oh, I'm not a part of a team, Ive never played a sport." Well many times thats not the case. I consider teams varying from sports teams to co-workers, to classmates, to various other people that work together to accomplish something. As a recent high school graduate, these last couple weeks have opened my eyes and showed me what being on a team really means through constant bonding experiences. Through these tactics we have come together as a class and learned to appreciate and work with one another, like a team would.

I would do anything to go back and be on a team as closely knit and amiable as my field hockey team. From the constant jokes and never ending laughter to the motivation and support on and off the field. You could never find a group of better girls than this one, and I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to be apart of it. Being apart of a team is extremely important in everyday life, both socially and mentally. For me, my team was my motivation and my determination both on the field and in school, they pushed me to be the best version of myself. On the field we helped each other learn new skills and perfect our old ones and to reach our goal of making it as far as we could in play offs. But, as time goes on I have accepted that all things must come to an end and I am so excited to work with my new team at the Odyssey and bring on new challenges I have never experienced before.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
