T-Go has been a whirlwind of work and explorations, which meant that I haven't spent much time doing written reflections, but hope to encompass major moments in this end of term reflection. T-GO this year has been radically different; there's a lot less members and Mariana and I are "in-charge" of running the Community and Service. The Community and Service consist of 7 members in total, and while we initially thought this number of people would lead to a more productive environment, there have been a few problems along the way. I think as a leader I am quite inclusive, in that I like to get everyone's opinion on issues and don't dictate the situation. This trait can prove to be influential and important when finding out what the group is interested in, however, with the dynamic our CAS group possesses it can lead to several problems. Members in the CAS are quite articulative about their opinions, and a fair amount of time is spent with people yelling over each other in an attempt to get their ideas heard. The last CAS session was disastrous because we were unable to plan for the career fair to the extent that we had wanted, and ended up getting completely tired of the way things were being conducted. I think it's absolutely crucial to know when to delegate tasks out and when to assert boundaries when working with people, because with out a scaffold of sorts people tend to go off on tangents. In an attempt to make session a lot more constructive, Mariana and I plan sessions a prior to Tuesday. Pre-planning has helped immensely because we are able to get right onto work, and some sessions have actually been very productive.
There has been a lot going on in the first term in T-GO. We went to visit a school in Kawe, in an attempt to establish a partnership with them. There has been no response from the school, mainly because many of the grades are busy preparing for the exams coming up in December, so it seems like the partnership might not work out. We have also been planning the Career Fair, pictures below show the current plan for the Career Fair which is going to held in late November. Also, the endometriosis stop motion has reached more than 600 views! I know this is just a number, but it's still pretty exciting knowing that so many people have watched the video.
