It is really hard to sum up everything i have gained from this class. Friendships, core leadership leadership values, and so much more.I came into this class not knowing what to expect. My goals during this quarter, for this class, was to develop my understanding of leadership and develop new friendships with my classmates. Hopefully i have accomplished both. There were many things that were important to me, throughout the quarter.
Meeting new people was my first goal when entering this class. At first i was nervous, just like any first day of school. I set out to make friends and hopefully that happened. I began really looking forward to 3:30 with the hopes of seeing the people i enjoyed going to class with. I can honestly say that i enjoyed being in a class with each and every one of you. Lori, Casey and everyone of you made this class enjoyable and made me look forward to this class every Wednesday afternoon.
There are many places where i am definitely looking forward to growing in my leadership development. This Summer, i will be lucky enough be lead Orientation Groups for incoming Freshman. My goal when leading these retreats is to give the incoming Freshman the same experience i had when i first came to SCU. I was nervous, i was shy, and i was really scared of this next step in my journey to college. But, when i arrived here and met the amazing leaders and students that i would be spending the next four years with, i became relaxed and extremely happy to be a part of this family.
During these Orientation sessions i hope to allow these kids to feel comfortable in this next gigantic step in their lives. For many, this will be their first time away from home for large amounts of time. This can be a nerve racking experience, especially when you may not know many people and are trying desperately to make friends. I want to deliver the same experience that my OLs gave to me. With the help of my fellow OL, i know that i can grow in my leadership and be the best possible leader i can be.

I Do Love Me Some Gameshows
Hunter Straine! Come on down! You have been chosen as the next contestant on Tuckman's Stages of Group Development! ....I should have thought of a catchier title.
Video 1- Coach Carter:
Norming- This video shows that as a team, the players were able to complete the push-ups and the suicides for their teammate. The team managed to come to one mutual goal, and that was to get their teammate back on the team. Some had to give up on their own mutual interests. For example the last guy to join in on the workout seemed very hesitant This player gave up his past emotions to come together with his team
Video 2- Aladdin
Performing- Aladdin, along with his team, were able to defeat evil, free Genie, and marry the princess. Talk about performing! Aladdin and his team are able to work autonomously to complete goals and work hard. They each have their own individual goals, but work hard for the mutual goal of saving their home from evil.
Video 3- Remember the Titans
Storming- The storming phase in the stages of group development revolves around addressing issues. Through addressing these issues, the team is then able to grow from them. In Remember the Titans, the team is able to grow from realizing the unqualified lack of respect they have for one another, due to the color of each person's skin. Although the change may seem hard or unpleasant, it is definitely worth it in the end.
Video 4- Finding Nemo
Adjourning- The point of the adjourning phase is to complete tasks by breaking up the team. This video is an example of this, because the fish are willing to break up the team by freeing nemo. Every fish in the fish tank wants to escape, but they instead but the needs of the young fish, nemo before their own. They break up the group to do individual tasks while also working together to make sure nemo is able to escape.
Video 5- Mean Girls
Forming- Forming is about trying to be a part of a group driven by the acceptance of others. In Mean Girls, Cady Heron is a transfer student from Africa and is experiencing High School for the first time. She is yearning for friends and a group to be a part of, in this crazy part in her life. She becomes to be a part of the popular group known as the plastics who are incredibly shallow and vein, but popular.
