The past few days have been very exciting, we finished the garden, reorganized the travel stage and have gone outside my comfort zone many times.  I'm very proud of these accomplishments because they took dedication, teamwork, and problem solving.  Sure everyone complained now and then but no one stopped working.  We started out as an uncoordinated team, but now we work together and get done what needs to get done.  All our team needed was a more motivation and a push to help us along.
Completing the garden was a very fulfilling moment because we finally had something to show for days of hard work.  This garden took dedication which we did not have in the beginning.   As each day went by we started to form stronger bonds with each other.  These bonds let us work more as a team instead of as individual's.  With stronger bonds we were able to complete the garden with time to spare.
Next we reorganized where the traveling stage is kept.  Instead of jumping in right away we came up with a plan.  This plan made everyone work fast and efficiently.  First, we had to remove all the metal and wood which took some creative thinking.  While removing all of the stuff we ran into many ant colonies.  This called for some creative problem solving ideas.  We decided to shake each board off then douse it in water.  This method was very effective in making the ants disperse.  After all the wood and metal was off we had to level the storage area.  Every time we saw a colony of ants you had to think of something happy and push on.  When putting all the stuff back it was very similar to a puzzle because each piece had to be put in just right.  As the last piece slid into place we stepped back to admire our work.  It's amazing what you can accomplish when you put work together to finish what you started.
During this trip I have gone out side my comfort zone many times.  I've been forced out or do it on my own.  This is important to me because it helps you grow.  Being forced out of you comfort zone is one of the best feeling in the world because you gain confidence in your self.  Our group has constructed strong bonds with each other and we grown together because of this trip.
