Emotional Intelligence Quiz I was not very surprised about my EQ score. I knew that I would score high, but I didn’t realize that it would give me a description about myself and how to better improve it. The description made me think because it said that sometimes I can get too caught up in […]

Activities
Newspaper Bridge
On February 9th, Cheryl made us do this activity where we had to build a bridge out of newspaper. My team and I were very anxious to build the best bridge and win the challenge, because we haven’t won yet. For our bridge, I was the one that came up with the original idea, but […]

Marshmallow Tower Challange
Was there a leader in your group? Who was it and who decided who the leader would be? If you had no leader, do you think having designated someone a leader would have helped? How helpful was everyone on your team in the process of building the tallest structure? Did anyone appear to be […]
