Lessons in Teamwork


Last week for capstone we went up to the Titan Traverse ropes course. At first I thought this would be just another lame “team building” activity we were being forced to do. Once we got up there, I realized that everything we were about to do had relevance to life after college…in some way or another. As a TEAM we had to get everyone from one side of this “spider-web” to the other without touching any of the ropes. It took everyone working together and effective communication skills to get it done. It sounds cheesy, but without everyone working together we really couldn’t have gotten it done. This relates to real life because, especially in this line of work, you really need to work together to get things done; you can’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it.


I was a crazy young man who let himself be blinded by his passions and obeyed only the impulses of the moment.
