Report
I can relate to Susan Cain. I grew up in a social environment with a large family, but I always found myself retreating to my room to read or play alone. I enjoyed spending time on my own, especially on days when my family had parties or people over. Despite being an active child, I preferred a calm environment. As an adult, I still cherish my alone time, often escaping to a Starbucks to read or study, which gives me a break from my busy life. However, being an introvert was not always easy for me. I felt like it was something terrible, and I always thought I had to try to be outgoing and social at all times. This made me feel overwhelmed and overstimulated, which wasn't helpful. It was also challenging being compared to my cousin, who was the opposite of me, and I felt like I had to imitate her to be social and outgoing enough for my family. As I grew up and went to college, it became easier for me to be myself. My parents understood that I needed to study and spend time alone, and they were okay with me going to coffee shops and libraries. As an adult, I think I have become both an introvert and an extrovert, especially being a military wife. I've had to socialize, but I've learned that I enjoy socializing more when it's just one-on-one or in small groups. This has helped me gain close friends that last a lifetime." The article titled "The 4 Benefits" focuses on the importance of commitment to student learning. It highlights how weekly meetings help to create a bond and build a team of leaders within the school, and how this team can expand its reach from a local district to regional and global levels. To build a strong team, it is important to define the roles and relationships of team members. This process starts with understanding the strengths of each member within the department. Enhancing each other's strengths builds trust and helps to complete relationships. When mutual respect for each other's opinions is developed within the team, all members become leaders within the group. Reference Cain, S. (2012, February). The power of introverts.
