Assignment Sing a Song

This week in class each student completed the assignment to learn a song and sing/teach it to the rest of us.  For professional development, I think the thing that I will take away from this assignment the most is remembering just how nervous everyone was!  It felt comforting though, knowing that we were all in it together!  I think this is an important environment to create in Therapeutic Recreation settings.  About myself, I learned that even though I have gained experience singing in front of people for four years now at my church, changing things like the setting or the people can still bring back nerves.  In striving for excellence, however, I will continue to remind myself what else I have learned over the years:  practice makes perfect.  No matter what happens, you can always take the situation and learn from it.
