First week of school! =)

Last week was the first day of class for Innovative Activities in Therapeutic Recreation!  One of the activities we did to loosen everyone up was that everyone had to draw a piece of paper out of a hat and silently act out what the word said on the piece of paper.  There would be others acting out the same words (which ended up being either a "witch," "werewolf," "vampire," or "sea creature"), and you needed to find those acting out the same word as you.  I learned that despite several semesters of TR classes with the same students, I still am afraid of looking silly!  After looking around for a little bit, I reluctantly started "flying on a broomstick."  As I get closer to becoming a professional, I will need to keep this strong human tendency in mind and be very patient and encouraging to those in the programs that I lead!  I will keep striving for excellence by continuing to push myself, as I did that evening, to go beyond my comfort zone and experience new and fun things no matter how silly it feels!
