COE Week 3 Enery Flow

COE!!!

This week has flown by fast! It was Thursday evening when it finally hit me that this week was coming to an end and blogs and reflections were coming up. Being week two I have noticed a few things about different residents in my community. There are a few residents who can come to me with their questions and trust in me for answer. There are others who also trust in me for more personal questions and have asked for my advice. I love to be able to share my thoughts with them and know that what I say really is making a difference and affecting their next action. 

Energy in the community has been working its way around. I have encouraged students to participate in many group activities and join in on clubs. I have two residents running for Hall Council and I have encouraged our floor to go and vote. We have a group of students teaching another student how to swim and also another being taught how to rollerblade. The energy that is being thrown around our community is not only coming from me but also my residents themselves. The energy over here at Clearwater is amazing! We are learning new things every day!

 Which brings me to the Love of Learning; I was able to round up two residents for Table Topics. Two is not that many but it’s a start and I hope to increase my community’s’ attendance in the next week. Having just two members go to table topics was a wonderful thing to me as my community last year was never present. I have confidence in my community this year that with just two members attending we will be able to spark some more energy and continue to gain Love of Learning.

Honestly speaking I feel that my attitude toward the community this week didn't fail but my actions may have been a little out of place. The week went by so fast that  I didn't even realize how many members that I failed to spend more then a "hey how's it going?" moment each day with. I was still pumped and excited about getting our community together but failed to be as present as I should have been. I guess now that I have seen what a normal school week would look like I will be better prepared to insure I find time with every resident.

To conclude my community is getting pumped and ready to go off and Camp this weekend! I as well as many members am looking forward to some intense bonding time and some interaction outside our four walls we currently call home. Let’s get our camp on!!
