I think that the most challenging aspect of this challenge was working with fellow's parents. When I began working with Team First Gear last semester, we all felt like there was a fine line with how to work with one another without hurting each other's feelings. I experienced this again when I was working in the kitchen with two moms. It was natural for everyone to allow them to step up and take the main rolls but it turned out that our meal really came together because of teamwork.
Our team did a great job at utilizing all of your skills. We were also efficient. We began chopping up veggies while other made broth and we really made use of our time.
Our group was slow deciding what we wanted to make, bouncing around from rice, pasta and finally a sandwich. Of course we realized there was no bread or eggs so we had to be incredibly creative in making our base of the sandwich. We decided to make potato pancakes which took a lot of brain storming deciding how to decorate up this pancake.
This challenge would not have been possible without team help and I think that was one of the most important lessons I took away. We worked as a team to accomplish an entire meal in an hour. We had to use all of our strengths and work united to get done in time.
Carrying this forward, I think that I have learned that things are done best when everyone works together. I also think that in the food challenge we did not plan as well from the beginning and because of that, we lost time. I will keep that in mind when working with the Mid-Ohio Foodbank. Teamwork and planning make for the most efficient time
Hi Libby. I'd like to hear more on why you thought there was a challenge in working with the fellows' parents instead of other fellows. It may be worth taking time to strategize about how you personally build a team and how that strategy needs to adapt from team to team given the face that you will encounter many diverse teams with diverse personalities as you move forward in your career.
