2. Supervisors would describe my followership as disciplined, and respectful. When tasks come to me, my supervisors know I will be on time to start and stay if I have to in order to get the mission accomplished.

Now that we have an outline and a path to our graduation it makes much more sense to me. After the four lenses exercise it helped me realize why the first two days were so confusing to me. Being a green/orange personality and coming into a class with a stack of boring papers that I had no idea what they really were was tough…
Night by Elie Wiesel The book Night affected me because I could not imagine going through something as devastating as the holocaust or a war and knowing that I could die at any second. Night to me was very scary and powerful and at some points in the book it made me feel like it was happening right at that moment while I was reading. It was also hard for me to think about what was happening and what they did to the Jews that did not obey and even the ones that had passed on. When a man told him…
