Christian group structuring

Throughout the last year, the Director has made a point to change many processes, for worse or for better. The majority of her effort has been focused on how the office functions as a group or “team.” Two influential factors on how our group functions is the fact that the entire team is female in gender and group decision making. There is a particular instance where the team was gathered and was expected to participate in a meeting about streamlining processes in consultative phone calls. This…

work in groups of four, and the lab members had to be switched with every lab. We were responsible for completing the lab within a certain time allotted by the teacher. We quickly realized that dividing the responsibilities and trusting each other was the only way to go if we wanted to finish on time. If we had not split of the tasks the lab would have resulted in being incomplete. We had to clearly communicate with each other what had to be done and how it had to be done. Working in groups,…

My team consisted of six members, we had no particular roles in the group as we decided that everyone should have equal input. Having to work in groups helped me make friends and enhance my communication skills. Working in teams taught me how not to be afraid to voice my opinion as it is normal if people do not share the same beliefs as me. Each team member was comfortable with each other. I have always been afraid of doing group work because of me being shy, but after this assessment I believe…

We dared not turn back as we scrambled into the labyrinth of the evergreen forest. Christopher, Eliza, Francis, Gracelle, Hassan, Oliver, and I had all met that morning in a deteriorating abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Paris, France. There, we were informed of the valuable information implanted into our brains at birth by a mysterious, dismembered secret organization called NanoTech. Hence the reason why these military experienced robots keep trailing us wherever we go. Before leaving…

Last summer I partnered with another educator from my school to craft a multisession mini course for Math for America. The course met over a three month period and focussed on teaching educators from the Metro New York area about the symmetries of a sphere using an ancient japanese art form called Temari. I used our organization’s shared digital message board called the small world network to post and share an overview of our course in the spring course catalog and invited 15-20 teachers to sign…

the project, I was fully involved. One of my biggest contributions was keeping records and information from group meetings organized. I took minutes of each group meeting and wrote down every decision that was decided upon the group. With that information, I would later put it into an organized chart or list that made the information more accessible and understandable for the rest of the group. For example, after we decided which characters were being cut from the script and which characters…

will attempt to make us perceive their own beliefs. In the play, Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare, Shylock whom is a Venetian merchant made a deal with a Christian merchant named Antonio to fulfill the desires of his close friend “Bassanio”. Moreover, this Shakespearian play discusses the melancholic relationship between a Christian and Jewish in Elizabethan era. In Merchant of Venice, Shylock represents a character who mask reality due to three critical reasons.…

and even social media which say otherwise; they paint the ideal picture of what ‘Love’ is, in its many forms in popular culture. Fifty Shades of Grey is a renowned trilogy among the younger generation that explores a peculiar relationship between Christian Grey, a sex crazed Multimillionaire and Anastasia Steele, an inexperienced English literature college graduate. The start of their relationship is questionable on many grounds; does she understand the risk of this potential liaison and how it…

Learning to live a Christian life is one thing, but living out what we have learned is another story. As Christians, I think we have a greater responsibility because we know how the world should look, and we need to step up and lead the people around us. In order to share the gospel with others, we have to take a look at what God is calling us to do. Leading others consists of knowing what the Christian life looks like, sharing that with others, and staying faithful and truthful in what we say…

Colossians 3:8, “Anger, wrath, malice, slander.” (ESV Colossians 3:5) As Christian people, who intend to follow Christ, we sometimes do not really follow Christ. It is easy to say love your neighbor, meaning everyone. On the other hand, it is very hard to follow through with that. You really learn how much the Lord loves you when you try to love the person you really dislike. It is hard, and the Lord makes it look easy. Now as Christian people however, it should be easy for us too. But, after…
