Why Being A Part Of A Team Is Important

What being on team has taught me throughout the years.

Why Being A Part Of A Team Is Important
Vorkspace

Throughout these past few years of my life I have genuinely started to appreciate everything I have been blessed with. One thing in particular, the teams I have been a part of. Many people think that a team is just a group of people that work with each other and share similar interests, but little do they know its a whole lot more than that. I believe that there is something so eye opening about being apart of a team that everyone should experience at some point in their life. Throughout your life, being supported and cared for is an essential and being on a team, (whatever the team may be) will get you there.

To me, a team is a family. Although being apart of a team means you do have to work with people you're not accustomed to, it opens your eyes to new people and new experiences that can benefit you in the long run and in most cases bring your team closer to one another, turning them into more of a family than just people you are forced to work with. A team is a group of people that works together to get the job done no matter the challenge. They know the weirdest and craziest things about you and care about you endlessly. For me, I wouldn't give up being on a team for the world. Frequently, people think, "Oh, I'm not a part of a team, Ive never played a sport." Well many times thats not the case. I consider teams varying from sports teams to co-workers, to classmates, to various other people that work together to accomplish something. As a recent high school graduate, these last couple weeks have opened my eyes and showed me what being on a team really means through constant bonding experiences. Through these tactics we have come together as a class and learned to appreciate and work with one another, like a team would.

I would do anything to go back and be on a team as closely knit and amiable as my field hockey team. From the constant jokes and never ending laughter to the motivation and support on and off the field. You could never find a group of better girls than this one, and I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to be apart of it. Being apart of a team is extremely important in everyday life, both socially and mentally. For me, my team was my motivation and my determination both on the field and in school, they pushed me to be the best version of myself. On the field we helped each other learn new skills and perfect our old ones and to reach our goal of making it as far as we could in play offs. But, as time goes on I have accepted that all things must come to an end and I am so excited to work with my new team at the Odyssey and bring on new challenges I have never experienced before.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
