Throughout several days in June 2012, I worked together with a creativity team to help plans events for Grace Community Church. This events, which are put on for the public, span from the local Vacation Bible School to Miles for Missions, which is a race run to raise money for less fortunate. Over these days, the creativity team put their heads together in order to plan the best year of events that the church and the surrounding triangle area had ever seen.
During this time, I got to see my strengths and weaknesses in comparison to others in the group, and work with these others to better not only ourselves, but the events that we were planning. At the beginning it was challenging coming into a group where I was the youngest person, and having to help lead group discussions, but by doing this I was able to discover my leadership strengths and abilities. I also found it exciting to work with the others and know that the choices that were were making were going to help form exciting events that children would get to enjoy and have fun at. Although this creativity team was only working together for a few days, I enjoyed the chance to work together with the others and think it taught me a lot. I also learned how to hold a discussion maturely and be on the same level as the adults who were also in the group. This is a strength that will help me later on in life, as I continue to have to communicate with people who are older than me and different than me. I enjoyed this opportunity.
