~:[CH6 - Day 93]:~ A Guessing Game
Today was an important day as WASC came by. It worked out that I didn't have to do any special planning or switch my schedule around, as my activity fell perfectly on the day of the visit. The guessing activity is always one of my favorites to try and see the students figure out the issues and also use their newly developed MUN skills to figure out the answers within their group. It made me think how life is just like this, a guessing game. While we base our decisions off of knowledge we gain through life experiences, ultimately, our choices are just that, guesses. We form our hypothesis and hope that it ends up going well. If it doesn't, we end up going back to the drawing board and if it does, we enjoy the success we have until another choice comes our way. All of us are going to make the wrong choice, but even after a string of wrong choices, the right one can get us back on track. We cannot allow ourselves to let bad choices get us off track and while we want to limit these bad choices using our experiences, when we do make one, I hope that we can all not lose our way. This activity would have been much more difficult had we had the students do this alone, but just like in life, they each had their own circle of peers to work with them to try to solve each of the problems out. Remember, that life is full of these tough decisions, trust in yourself, but also don't forget that there are a circle of people around you waiting to help you make the best decision.
