Adjourning

I can remember monitoring a group of children at our church last summer. My husband and I cooked for our church in the summer and we asked for volunteers. Some of teens volunteered. The children's corner was born. Since we cooking outside we took a corner of the space and gave it too the children. While we were cooking ribs, chicken etc the children's corner were selling hot dogs, hamburgers and different types of drinks. The church started them off and the group took off. This was a high performing group. They had a leader of the group and they had a secretary and a treasure. These children truly had a business and one of them always accompanied us when purchasing the materials they needed. This group will not be this summer many of the children went away to college and others moved away. The ritual that went on at the closing they gave away free hot dogs and drinks to the community and then they had a pizza party and we were invited.

 I think adjourning from my colleagues and the masters program will be bitter sweet. It will be bitter  because I have had a few colleagues in many of my classes. I have learned lots from all of the people I have come in contact with. It seems most of us have come front different walks of life and have had different  experiences in life that comes out in our blogs and discussion. The sweet part is that we all made it and know have a Master Degree in Early Childhood. I believe that adjourning is a essential part because it brings closure. It allows each group member to voice how they feel the project went and what can be done better if they work together again. It also allows them to say goodbyes to each other. They can wish each other the best of luck in their other endeavors.
