Love FOOTBALL! (LO5)

Personally, I love football as a sport! I enjoy watching it, playing it, and just the whole idea of it. Therefore, this year I tried out for a football team.  I got in! We have a team of 14 great players, who are able to work together in order to build a relationship full of trust, equal effort, and fun. At first – when we didn’t know each other just yet – it was challenging for us to work together as a team.  However, once we got to know each other better, we were able to recognize each other’s strengths and weaknesses. We communicated our positions in a game – everybody knew what their role was. In my opinion, working collaboratively on the field was a crucial factor that lead to our success as a team. Every player knew they could rely on their teammates, so whenever one was in a difficult situation (eg. they could not dribble through the defense of the other team),  they always had somebody backing them up for an open pass. This is why I believe that effective collaboration during the game, as well as on trainings, was not only a huge benefit for the players but an accomplishment for the team as a whole.

CULTURAMA: Reflection Pt 2 (LO5)

Now that Culturama is over, I am sure to say that it has been one of the most memorable experiences in my life! All the effort, all the rehearsals, all the sweat put-in this event made the experience an incredible highlight for every participant of Culturama, including myself.

I’ve realized that consistency and persistence are the two crucial factors that determine the outcome of the performance. People who showed up to every practice, the ones who trained at home, were the people who did an outstanding job on stage. I, to be fully honest with you, haven’t missed a single practice but one, which I had to make up for at home. I loved and was proud of being a part of the Jamaican dance, a part of the team that is so enthusiastic and determined on their goal. We worked together to create an incredible show, and with all of our efforts, we achieved what we were striving for.
