During our first week of getting this project under way, the group had a meeting on Friday to meet Rebecca and to discuss future plans and meeting times. Unfortunately due to my work schedule I was unable to attend the group meet, but did stay in contact with group members to make sure that I was aware of what was going on. I then knew to take off work on Tuesday the 16th in order to attend the SAFE and EQUAL meetings.
I am very excited to be involved in this project and am anxious to get in an start collecting signatures, tabling, and getting the word out there on so that we can get as many members of the UCF community involved. I am a little nervous about all the things that need to get done, and this is my first movement towards being an activist for a cause I truly believe in. I have most often been the person to talk about change but have not taking the time to really do something to help motivate that change. Doing the work and putting in the effort really has created a prideful feeling in myself and I have been very excited to talk to my friends and family as much as possible about this event and to help get them involved and gain their support.
I was initially nervous about being in a group. I think anytime you are assigned a group activity t is natural to be a bit unsure of the final out come. We have all been in those groups in the past were we felt like we did all the work but had to share the final grade, and it is stressful. However this group has really helped make me excited about this project. Their enthusiasm and initiative has been such a positive motivator for me. I realize it is the first week but I really think that this process is going to go on relatively smoothly thanks to our seemingly good group dynamic.
