Think about a time when you joined a new group activity (maybe a team, religious retreat, club, or workplace).
- How did you feel when you first joined?
- Do you recall a moment when you felt like you were part of the group?
- What benefits did you get from participation in the group?
- What can you do to help yourself feel like part of a group at City Tech?
I remember joining the track team and I was excited because I wanted to go the the weight room. I made friends with some of the members there and we were all running together and that felt nice. We were motivating each other. Being in the track team was good for my overall health. To feel part of a group I should join a club etc.
A time I joined a new environment is when I transferred to a new highschool mid year! I remember feeling very left out and sticking out like a sore thumb.A moment I felt like I belonged was when I made new friends that introduced to me to everyone else. Participating benefit me by allowing me new opportunities that I would not have found myself. To feel apart of the City Tech community I will join groups that interest me!
I had joined a swimming team in my school. I felt nervous because I was scared I was going to be a bad teammate. A moment I recall would’ve been the games we will all cheer for each other. I learned how to do new tricks and how to fix the things I did wrong in swimming. One thing I can do to feel part of a group in city tech is be more open and social and join clubs.
When I first joined the volleyball team I was self conscious. I felt like I was part of the group when my teammates partnered with me. Participating in volleyball helped me learn teamwork skills. I can join some clubs and find people with similar interests at city tech.
How did you feel when you first joined?
I felt a bit nervous but when I had more confidence I felt more confident
Do you recall a moment when you felt like you were part of the group?
Yes, when we brainstorm students responsibilities
What benefits did you get from participation in the group?
New friends 😀
What can you do to help yourself feel like part of a group at City Tech?
Be more proactive and more open
When I first joined my high schools basketball team, I remember how it made me want to interact with more people and get involved with other things. The team unlocked a side of me that I didn’t discover at the time.
You will do better if you do something in a group because the group members will always be able to support you and give advice on the group theme.
I pretty feel excited at first and turn to make new friends and move in and integrate
