Saani EC: Reflection on Like Clockwork

ACAD/LEAD class was very different Wednesday; we had the opportunity to learn personal information about each other through the Like Clockwork activity. The main thought I had throughout class was that some of my peers' expectations from the others were too high. Some expected to like everyone, others expected to find best friends. Because of these high expectations, there was a lot of room for disappointment. I found out that my flaw is that I don't socialize enough with the group because I didn't expect to find friends. I don't think it is necessary that we be friends in order to support each as leaders. Living on the same floor gives us ample time to socialize, but I don't use it like I should; I'm friendly and I speak to everyone but I don't spend much time with them personally. I support the group from a distance, but maybe if I converse with everyone more often they will notice I care. I wish we all knew a way to come together and celebrate each other.
