Consider specific assignments, specific readings/films, specific conversations, and/or specific processes that helped you learn and grow. Introduction On the first day of class we played a game, the game was called the Guessing Game. I will be talking about how the Guessing Game helped us learn and grow more than what people gave it credit for. I will talk about how it brought our class together quicker, created bonds between my classmates that helped each other strive, and it really showed how each of us portrays ourselves. Guessing game On the first day of the semester we played the Guessing Game. We all had to write on a piece of paper a secret that no one would know about us. we then wrote all of the secrets on a piece of paper, and had to walk around the room and guess if this was something that they've done. Reflection Being the first time I was back in school for two years, I was quite nervous returning. When I was told I have to write a secret of something I've done I wanted to think of something that no one would really expect me to do. I wrote down the secret that I was the one who stole four bikes on my junior year. When it was time to walk around the room I was very curios to what people may think of me. When I approached the first person all that was running through my head was I wonder if they are going to guess something good or bad about me, When I approached Sean, I looked at him and was able to guess that he rode dirt bikes on my first guess. I was actually really surprised and it showed that you really can sometimes guess what a person is by their cover. This lead me to being more anxious thinking that Sean would reply and guess that I stole 4 bikes on my junior year. I was hoping that I did not portray myself as the kid who is a thief. When Sean finally took his guess he went with I was the person who had a librarian find their fake ID. Now that didn't bother me because I do actually enjoy to have a few drinks every so often, but Sean was not able to guess that I stole four bikes on his 2nd try, or 3rd. I remember he made it almost through the whole list before he guessed that I was the person who did that. This made me feel a lot better about myself, it showed that I do not look like a crappy person. After the Guessing Game was over I've meet over half of the class, and all of the other students did the same. I actually was about to hold conversations that I never would of had with some of my classmates, if we never played this game. This lead to a whole lot less awkward feeling when I had to comment on someones blog for the first time, because I have already meet the individual and already had a full conversation with them. Having these early bonds also helped me message some one when I forgot to write down the homework. I already had multiple people that I felt comfortable with and I was able to message them for the homework with out them going who is this stranger asking me what the homework is.
