I had a presentation with my group this week. We had to create our own community-based program. We decided to do one that focuses on teen pregnancy and the infant mortality rate in Memphis, TN.
So we chose who would be in our groups and I went out on a huge limb...meaning I chose people outside of my usual group. It turned out we were the underdog group. lol. We were 4 girls who have never really taken up a leader role. People even told me they felt bad that all of us were in a group together. Who says that? So we had a lot to prove. There was some difficulty at first and we went through a storming phase. It was crazy for a little bit, but we got ourselves together and got the job done. At the end of our presentation our teacher complimented us on our efforts and said out of the 6 groups that presented we were the best. Seriously, my mouth dropped open.
I once said that I would never again get out of my comfort zone. This was a time when I thought we were going to fail miserably. Now I am saying I am so glad I did. I am proud of us. Very proud.
Always keep your wishful thinking and NEVER stay in your comfort zone. Even if you fail, it is better to take a risk than wonder what could have been. You also take more pride in your success because you truly deserve it and worked hard to earn it.
That's all I have to say about that.
