c. Purpose of Team Work


Teamwork is a crucial part of business as it provides a framework that increases the ability of
team members to participate in planning, problem-solving, and decision-making in order to
better serve their motive. The purpose of teamwork is to promote an area that encourages
friendship and loyalty; therefore as a group each team member can express their diverse talents,
weaknesses, communication skills, strengths, and habits. This creates a comfortable environment
where we can all collaborate and work together.

Our team, Threat Level Midnight, believes that by doing this we can achieve a productive
work environment and provide a support system for each member of the team. Teamwork offers
us the opportunity to get feedback immediately from our teammates, for example if there is a
situation where part of the team disagrees with something and the other part agrees,
communicating and feedback will allow for a thorough analysis in order to come up with a
solution. Each member will have something to bring to the table that will contribute to the
project as a whole allowing for the team to increase production, and celebrate their achievements
together.

keeps everyone on task, does a really good job at coming up with solutions, knows how to get
things done, and makes appointments with different representatives.
Why Nayla has this role?
Nayla has this role because she is a person who supports the group, and handles administrative

her successful organization skills. Celeste knows how to take peoples suggestions and make

e. Factors affecting the likely success of teamwork

Belbin Roles:
Belbin team roles are a theory that believes each team member possesses a pattern of behavior
that characterizes the person in accordance to another progress of the team. According to Dr.
Meredith Belbin a team role is, “A tendency to behave, contribute, and interrelate with others in
a particular way.

In accordance to our team members and the definitions of the different roles:

“Resource Investigator”:
Sophia Hernandez applies best to the definition of the Resource Investigator as she is outgoing
and enthusiastic. She also develops contacts and explores opportunities. However, she can be
over optimistic and can lose interest once the initial enthusiasm has passed.

“Team Worker”:
There are a few team members that apply to this role best, Celeste Jimenez and Nicole Harker, as
they are very cooperative, perceptive, and diplomatic. They also listen and averts friction.
Nonetheless they can also be indecisive during crunch situations and tend to avoid confrontation.

“Coordinator”:
As for this role, the team member that applies best would be Nayla Gomez as she is very mature,
confident, and is very good at identifying talent. In spite of that she can also be a little
manipulative.

7
Candidate Number 1216
“Plant”:
This role applies to all of us considering we are all creative, imaginative, and free-thinking. We
also generate ideas and are able to solve difficult problems to the different extents of the different
problems. However depending on the situation some of us might ignore incidentals, and may be
too pre-occupied to communicate effectively.

“Monitor Evaluator”:
For this role those who apply best are Nicole Harker and Nayla Gomez. They apply best because
they are sober, strategic and discerning. They see multiple options and judge accurately.
However they can sometimes lack drive, the ability to inspire others, and be overly critical.

“Specialist”:
This role applies best to Sophia Hernandez as she is single-minded, self-starting and dedicated.
She provides specialist knowledge and skills. However, she can also only contribute on a narrow
front and tends to dwell on the technicalities

ii. Research

The majority of how we planned our event was based upon all the research we
encountered. Said research is mentioned under 3.b. Costings Research and 4.e. Risk
Assessments. More research we conducted is located under, 8.a. Photographs.

We also planned our event by communicating with according representatives within the
school in order to execute the field trip. Along with that, we also communicated with the
general manager at the theater, Paragon Pavilion, constantly for updates and other needed
information. These emails are located under number 8. Evidence, Section b.

ii. Witness Statement
The Learners Contribution:
As the Administrative Representative, Nayla Gomez successfully contributed to her group’s
activity. She was able to successfully escort the psychology students to the theater with no
complications. Starting from the beginning of the day, it was obvious that was able to
prosperously communicate with all of the participants to where the far majority new what to do,
where to go, etc. I was also able to observe that she was the one to handle all of the paperwork in
a very organized fashion. For instance, she was in charge of turning in the tax exempt form, the
check for the theater’s manager, etc. she also was in charge of all of the student’s permission
slips in case for emergencies.
Learners Listening Skills:
Nayla Gomez’s listening skills were also very obvious to observe considering everything she did
and said, she did with no hesitation. This means that she was listening very well to instructions to
where she was well informed of all incidents that could have occurred. With that, being that from
my perspective no accidents/incidents occurred it is obvious that her listening ability stretched to
the length that she was able to enough lee-way to avoid said possible incidents.
The Learners interaction with others:
Nayla’s interaction with others was very unique and very polite. She was able to keep everything
simple and easy in terms of communication. Not only that, she kept her interaction with myself
and the other chaperones, as well as the staff members at the theater very professional and very
helpful too. For instance, she helped the staff members finish preparing the meals for the
students because there were still a few meals missing. I was also able to witness her interaction
with the manager, and she was very polite and very professional when turning in the according
forms as well as with thanking the manager and the staff members.
The Learners Skills Development:
With all of that said, knowing Nayla it has always been difficult for her to interact with others in
the most polite way, this is due to her want to get the point across and to keep the conversation
“short and sweet”, however sometimes this may come across as “rude” in a way. Nonetheless,
watching her interact with all of the students, the staff members at the theater, the manager, as
well as myself I was able to watch her grow in that sense. Her ability and skill to communicate
has really developed in a mature way. Not only that, I was also able to witness her marketing and
organization skills develop, considering how well the trip turned out and how not so well it
started off.
How the Learner Demonstrated Initiative and Problem Solving Skills
Aside of all of that, there were a few encounters Nayla had to face. For instance, the buses were a
few minutes late. As Administrative Representative it was Nayla’s job to schedule them and it
was clear that she did it in a very skillful way. She made it so that there were fifteen minutes of
lee-way for incidents such as the buses being late to not affect timing. Also, when we arrived not
all of the meals were complete therefore Nayla went behind the concession stands and helped the
theater’s staff members with the packaging of the meals in order for no student to even realize
that there was food missing. Altogether, Nayla demonstrated effective problem solving skills and
many other skills to go with that.

3. Working in a Team

a. Feasibilities

The four of us originally and individually did 4 feasibility studies after narrowing down four
destination possibilities from our original 10 destination options that we brainstormed together.
However, we came to the realization that all four of those destinations that we researched and
conducted a feasibility study on, failed. Therefore, as a group we brainstormed once again and
came up with a trip to a destination that actually worked and therefore did a fifth feasibility study
on it together as a group that ended in success.

Down below you will see the feasibility study I was assigned to originally out of the first four
plus my version of the feasibility study we did as a group for our final destination decision.

Feasibility 1

Movie on the School’s Football Field:

A. Event Overview
A movie at the Palmetto Ridge Stadium will be an enjoyable and friendly social gathering where
participants will be able to enjoy watching a movie on the football field with their friends and
family. This movie will be chosen through a set of polls assuring it is within the tastes of our
guests. There will be a delightful variety of food and beverage options to accompany our guests
while they sit and relax.

B. Potential Customers
- High school students from Collier County Schools
- Alumni’s
- Faculty of Palmetto Ridge High School
- Wants and needs our customers may want, include:
o Food (Available food)
▪ Hot Chocolate
▪ Popcorn
▪ Candy
▪ Chips
▪ Drinks
▪ Etc.
o Comfort
o Entertainment
o Security
These will be our targeted customers because the goal is to further promote the Palmetto
Ridge Motto, “One School, One Family” beyond the Palmetto Ridge Walls.

C. Resources Needs
- Venue – Palmetto Ridge High School’s football field
- Access to concession stands
- Access to food for concession stands
- Available electricity—outlets, extension cords, etc.
26
Candidate Number 1216
- Projector for the movie
- Appropriate sound acoustics
- Signs in multiple languages
- Security

D. Financial Needs
- Start-up costs can be off-set by charging customers an entry fee beforehand
- Taking into account costs to host the event, tickets will be sold for the collection of
money to purchase/rent event necessities, such as: the projector, food, DVD/Blue-Ray
player, inflatable projector, payment for janitors, payment for security etc.

E. SWOT Analysis (chart)


27
Candidate Number 1216

F. Risk Assessments (chart)


Possible Risks Likelihood of Severity of outcome
occurrence
Weather (rain, lightning, Occurs from time Minor injury requiring first aid—
etc.) to time Electricity hazards, such as burns, rain
can cause someone to get sick, etc.
Fire (concession mishap, May occur but Major injury needed hospitalization as
brush fire, equipment rarely well as an inconvenience—need for
overheating, etc.) evacuation
Allergic Reactions—food Likely to occur Medical attention required
allergies, environmental
allergies (pollen), etc.

Security mishaps—no May occur but Major inconvenience/serious


control of outside threats very rarely injury/disability/death

Technical Difficulties May occur Minor inconvenience

G. Analysis of results of feasibilities studies and give reasons for the final choice/reason we
rejected other options
The other feasibilities were rejected due to inconveniences such as security,
reconstruction, distance, affordability, lack of enough time, etc. More specifically one of
our other options—the Lock-in in the school gym—there were issues because of the
abundant variety of activities we had planned. After looking at our SWOT analysis and
our Risks chart for that event we found that the weakness, risks, and threat section was
too full in comparison to the other categories therefore that destination wasn’t the best
option. Risks, threats, and weaknesses such as: because of the chaotic movement of
switching from activity to activity the security/health dangers were too high to risk; after
laying out everything we wanted to do at this event, we found that the venue—the school
gym—would not necessarily be comfortable, space wise—it would be slightly crowded.
Another situation we found was that the ease of guests being unhappy was very high, for
example, lack of comfort, or it being “boring”, etc. These inconveniences may lead to
plenty of complaints, people asking for refunds, etc.
Moreover, the other two feasibilities were rejected due to reconstruction, affordability,
and the unfortunateness of lack of enough time. Particularly we were going to hold an
event at a roller skating rink but because of the recent hurricane that past last year—
Hurricane Irma—the skating rink is in reconstruction prohibiting us from holding our
event, it is also the closest roller skating rink, all others are too far location wise. Not to
mention the inefficiency of cost in order to hold this event at the skating rink; after
calculating price per person for tickets we found that the price was unreasonably high.
Lastly our last event in mind was to plan a field trip for elementary school kids to go pick
strawberries with us at our local farmers market. However because of the recent and
much stronger enforcement on security in the local area, the process to approve this field

28
Candidate Number 1216

trip would take longer than the time we have thus because of lack of enough time this
destination is also not the best option.

Feasibility 2

our other options—the Lock-in in the school gym—there were issues because of the
abundant variety of activities we had planned. After looking at our SWOT analysis and
our Risks chart for that event we found that the weakness, risks, and threat section was
too full in comparison to the other categories therefore that destination wasn’t the best
option. Risks, threats, and weaknesses such as: because of the chaotic movement of
switching from activity to activity the security/health dangers were too high to risk; after
laying out everything we wanted to do at this event, we found that the venue—the school
gym—would not necessarily be comfortable, space wise—it would be slightly crowded.
Another situation we found was that the ease of guests being unhappy was very high, for
example, lack of comfort, or it being “boring”, etc. These inconveniences may lead to
plenty of complaints, people asking for refunds, etc.
Moreover, the next two feasibilities were rejected due to reconstruction, affordability,
and the unfortunateness of lack of enough time. Particularly we were going to hold an
event at a roller skating rink but because of the recent hurricane that past last year—
Hurricane Irma—the skating rink is in reconstruction prohibiting us from holding our
event, it is also the closest roller skating rink, all others are too far location wise. Not to
mention the inefficiency of cost in order to hold this event at the skating rink; after
calculating price per person for tickets we found that the price was unreasonably high.
Lastly our last event in mind was to plan a field trip for elementary school kids to go pick
strawberries with us at our local farmers market. However because of the recent and
much stronger enforcement on security in the local area, the process to approve this field
trip would take longer than the time we have thus because of lack of enough time this
destination is also not the best option.
31
Candidate Number 1216

Finally the last feasibility—the movie on the school’s football field—was rejected due
to the inability to meet the abundance of necessities it required. For example,
affordability: paying for security, the projector to display the movie, custodians, food,
etc. Not to mention the level of risks were also too high in comparison to our current
event, risks include: brush fires, security threats, allergic reactions to the environment—
pollen etc.—too many possible technical difficulties, not enough people to help us work
the event, etc. Also after analyzing its’ SWOT analysis we realized that the threats and
weaknesses’ section of the event were more filled than the strengths and opportunities
section. More specifically threats and weaknesses such as: what we’re offering isn’t
necessarily “new” thus it may repel customers rather than lure them, the abundance of
weather risks, the wider ability for an outside threat to attack, etc. Whereas our only
strength was that it was going to be affordable and that wasn’t even guaranteed, as well
as for opportunities the only possibility it for-sure offered was to have a good time with
their friends and family however one doesn’t necessarily need to participate in our even
in order to even accomplish it.

b. Costings Research
After discovering that our original four destinations were not going to turn out
effective, we had to conduct more research.
Originally for the movie on the football field our research primarily consisted of
asking according representatives for prices and other required information. For example,
we asked our local deputies how much it would cost for them to contribute as security for
our event. We also asked our school’s activities office for price estimations on concession
food, renting the concession stand, payment for janitors, etc. As for the projector we
found that renting a projector for a minimum of 3 hours would range from $200-$300.
As for our other destination possibility, there are only two local movie theaters in our
area therefore we compared the two prices of the theaters and Paragon Pavilion turned
out to be less expensive than the other theater, Silverspot Cinema. According to
Silverspot Cinema “General admission: Adult- $16.00” whereas according to Paragon
Pavilion, “General Admission: $13.00 –Adult”.

4. Business Plan
a. Event Summary
Our mission is to educate students. We plan to provide a safe and successful trip where students
can enjoy watching the 2019 American Superhero Horror-Thriller “Glass” based on individuals
with psychological disorders. Part of our business plan is to provide the participants an
entertaining experience where students have the opportunity to learn as well as enjoy some food
and watch a movie with their friends.

32
Candidate Number 1216
b. Aims and Objectives
- To have fun
- Make sure everyone is safe
- To see psychological incidents
- To learn and note human reactions to psychological illnesses
In order to determine if will be successful we constructed objectives listed down below. After
evaluating these objectives once the trip is over, our group will be able to determine if the trip
went as planned, if our guests enjoyed themselves, and if in fact they were educated.

To have fun:
We will determine if they all or if any at all had fun by sending out a survey in which evaluates
the level of fun they experienced.

Make sure everyone is safe:


In order to make sure everyone is safe we will research according risks as well as make sure
participants are aware of all rules that may apply. This way they are aware of all risks as well as
rules and guidelines of not only the movie theater but also the school bus.

To see psychological incidents


To determine if the students were able to see the psychological incidents the movie implemented
we will have the students take notes on the connections they make during the movie.

To learn and note human reactions to psychological illnesses


We will determine if the students learned from the movie by handing out a small piece of paper
so they can note some psychological incidences the obtain from watching the movie. Along with
that, we will also have them differentiate between fiction and reality in order to determine their
comprehension.

i. SMART
Specific:

The field trip has been scheduled to take place on January 28th 2019; we established this date
with the theater, Paragon Pavilion’s, general manager after meeting with him. We are planning to
escort approximately 30 students and 4 chaperones—one chaperone per 10 students plus one
extra in case for emergencies. We came up with 30 students in accordance to the proper math
involved. After speaking with Paragon’s general manager he agreed to lower the ticket price for
each individual from $15 to $6. Then after more negotiating we agreed to give each student a
meal of chicken tenders, French fries, and a drink of Coca cola, water, or lemonade for $5. With
the buses expenses and chaperone expenses, we came up with a price of $15.50 per student in
order to cover all expenses. Aside of that, primarily we are aiming to provide a successful,
educational, and entertaining experience and we plan to accomplish this by keeping up with
various factors. Some of these factors may include, keeping up with according deadlines, turning
in appropriate paper work, communicating well with Paragon’s manager as well as our school’s
according representatives, and lastly marketing the event to the best of our ability, keeping up
with these variables will give us the ability to overcome any obstacles we may face.

33
Candidate Number 1216
Measurable:

Specifically we are aiming towards 30 students in order to cover appropriate expenses. We


came up with the estimate of 30 students because anything less would mean having each student
pay an expense above $15 which is already more than the ticket Paragon makes individuals pay
on the daily bases. So we calculated that one bus would equal a total of $101.25, because a
school bus charges $22.5 per hour, and we also calculated that our trip would be 4.5 hours—4.5
hours times $22.5 equals $101.25. Therefore $101.25 divided by 30 students would equal,
$3.375 per student, plus the $5 meal, $plus the $6 ticket. With that we have a total of $14.375 per
student however we needed to cover chaperones expenses as well because we decided not to
make them pay for their meals and tickets. Thus each chaperone would equal $11 ($5 meal plus
the $6 ticket), times 4 chaperones equals $44, divided by 30 students. This would then equal to a
total of $1.46 per student to cover chaperones which means each student would pay $15.77.
Nonetheless, my group and I were willing to pitch in a few dollars in order to reduce the
student’s price to $15.50.

With that said, so far we only have some dates scheduled for turning in paper work, money
etc. As of now we aim to have the majority of the student’s money turned in by Wednesday,
December 19th, 2018 in order to meet the school’s requirement to have most paperwork and
money turned in a month prior to said date of the event. Other dates are further represented in the
Gantt chart under 4. Business Plan, Section c.

Attainable

In order to achieve our ultimate goal of providing a fun and successful school field trip, we
will use marketing strategies to promote the trip such as directly discussing the event with
Psychology classes, putting our event on the school news, and/or by hanging up flyers in
classrooms and around the school. Marketing is an imperative factor in the success of our trip
because without encouraging students to sign up, we may fall short in our goal of bringing 30
students to the theater. Staying on top of paperwork and money is also very important in
achieving our goal. This will allow our team to avoid any problems with the general manager at
Paragon Pavilion and with the school. Each team member will work within their assigned roles
and complete their duties to accomplish everything that must be completed prior to the event.

Realistic:

The above action steps are doable and manageable. By following our business plan and
completing necessary steps in accordance to appropriate deadlines, we will be able to
successfully execute the trip. We may face some obstacles however, we have the ability to
overcome them through proper team work skills as well as following and reviewing our business
plan/feasibilities.

34
Candidate Number 1216
Time Specific:

All permission slips and money should be handed in by Friday, December 21st, 2018. This
date gives us the ability to also hand in paperwork and money in time for it to be processed by
the school in a timely manner. General school trip and bus paperwork is to be turned in by
January 14th 2019. As discussed with the general manager at Paragon Pavilion, the money is to
be given to him on the day of the trip. It is important to meet each of the according deadlines so
that the money in its check-form and ready on the day of the trip. Further dates are estimated
down below.

d. Marketing Plan
Properly advertising our trip will give us the ability to successfully escort a group of
approximately 30 students and faculty to the movie theater Paragon Pavilion. Our target market
consists of the Aice Psychology students from Palmetto Ridge High School. To reach our target
market, we will execute marketing strategies and skills that will persuade students to go attend
the trip.
To promote this trip, we will create field trip forms to pass out to the Aice Psychology classes
and any interested faculty. We will include the date, time, and any other important information
about the trip. Flyers will be posted on bulletin boards near the classroom and around the school
as well. We will also announce the trip information on the high school news to get the word out.
This is our primary marketing strategy as it is the most effective way to announce the trip across
to the school.

35
Candidate Number 1216

These marketing strategies are best options because they are efficient ways to communicate
with our target market. Personally passing out field trip forms to the classes specifically, will
allow our group to answer any questions students may encounter and it also gives us the
opportunity to directly promote the trip. Posting flyers around the school will additionally allow
students and faculty to have a visual representation of the trip in order to ignite their interest
which may have a bigger impact than words will. Announcing the trip on the school news will
catch the attention of those who may have missed seeing the flyers or were absent the day we
went to the classrooms.
e. Risk Assessments
There are various risks that need to be taken note of when distributing this event; some risks
such as a flat tire. This would mean a major inconvenience in terms of causing possible injuries
as it may also lead to an accident. This can possibly create the need for medical attention such as
hospitalization. Nonetheless, according to Gibson Consulting Group Incorporated “the Collier
County School District is using 18 of the 20 best practices for transportation.” According to them
the district reinsures that in the event of an accident, staff members or their bus drivers, act
“promptly and appropriately” in accordance to the “Collier County School District’s
transportation department’s Driver and Attendant Handbook”.
Continuing on, Gibson Consulting Group Incorporated also mentioned that various situations
such as “inappropriate student behavior” can divert the bus driver’s attention from their
responsibility to drive their buses safely, to possibly resulting in an accident. This can also cause
injury to any participants on the bus. Therefore, my group and I have taken note of this and will
make sure the buses are consistently in a comfortable environment for the driver to drive in.
Aside of that, my group and I also researched the proper procedures that need to take place in the
event of an accident, a bus break down, etc. According to “The School Board of Collier County
Administrative Procedures” the following actions below need to take place in the event of severe
weather, an accident, a breakdown, and/or any student becoming “unruly” or “two or more
students become involved in a fight or create a disturbance”:
“Evacuation of Bus

The following procedures are to be followed when evacuating the school bus.
A. Stop bus, if not already stopped, off the road and out of the mainstream of traffic, if
possible.
B. Put on emergency flasher lights and immediately issue orders as to which exit is to be
used.
C. Maintain calm and direct students to "walk - not run", not to take books, lunch boxes,
etc., and to be careful when disembarking.
D. Send someone or call for help after making sure that all students are evacuated.
E. Form students into a group at least 100 feet from the bus and as far away from traffic as
feasible.
F. Check bus list to ensure all students are accounted for and are in good condition.
G. Emergency evacuation of disabled students may require modification of the above
procedures.
36

I. contact the dispatch office and supervisor on call as soon as possible.

Inclement Weather

Whenever the weather forecast indicates inclement weather approaching, the Transportation
Supervisor is to inspect the condition of the roads and advise the Operations Manager and
Director. If the forecast relates to the current school day, s/he should notify the Superintendent in
sufficient time so students can be transported home before road conditions would make such
transportation hazardous. If the forecast relates to the next school day, the Transportation

38

Director is to make his/her recommendation to the Superintendent prior to 5:00 AM. The
recommendation should be based on both personal observation of the roads and discussion with
the Highway Department and/or the State Highway Patrol or Sheriff.

If transportation is cancelled, bus drivers will be notified by means of the telephone chain and
parents by means of the radio and TV stations.

Dangerous and Illegal Weapons


The safety of students and staff is of paramount importance and control of dangerous and/or
illegal weapons is a particularly sensitive and critical responsibility. No weapon or other device

6. Success of the Event

a. Achievement of Original Aims


In order to properly evaluate the success of the trip it is important to consider the previously
mentioned objectives in order to determine whether or not they were met. Based on the exit slips
we handed out on the bus on our way back to the school, it is safe to assume that the far majority
of students had fun on this trip. With that, due to the proper research we were able to avoid
mentioned risks and as a result none occurred. Through proper communication between the
participants and us the group members, they were all well informed of all the rules and
regulations therefore we were also able to avoid anyone breaking any rules. Based on the
feedback from what the student’s took notes on they did seem to be able to analyze the
psychological incidences within the movie. They were also able to differentiate between fiction
and non-fiction occurrences.

62
Candidate Number 1216

b. Business Plan Effectiveness


In terms of the business plan, it turned out to be really effective. Due to all the research I
conducted I had the opportunity to be really knowledgeable in all the factors that came into play.
For example, conducting research prior to our meeting with the theater’s manager gave me the
opportunity to negotiate prices and other variables smoothly. The business plan only partially
turned out to be ineffective not because I didn’t have enough information but I feel as if I put too
much. For instance, the specific team roles and responsibilities did not necessarily contribute to
the execution of the trip, the group and I stayed within our roles however we primarily assisted
each other using all of the roles throughout the majority of the process.
c. Effectiveness of Materials and Resources
Aside of that, all materials used as well as resources were effective for the success of the
event. Primarily our marketing materials and resources are what really helped with the success of
the event. In fact, once we put our event on the school news we ended up escorting a total of 51
students where our original goal was 30. This as a result helped our situation such as we were
able to lower the price of the tickets and even make a small profit of $18. Other materials and
resources that were effective were the poster that I made with house supplies, as well as the
flyers we made and posted around the school.
d. Recommendations and Improvement
As for future improvement I suggest we learn to cooperate with each other more. Throughout
this experience there were a lot of times where we didn’t necessarily understand each other well
and that therefore resulted in constant disputes, specifically between Sophia and I. She is a
sensitive person and I am not and so due to our very different personalities and characters it was
really difficult for us to cooperate and communicate effectively. This caused for various
roadblocks in terms of the success of our event. Some recommendations I give are to think more
open mindedly when dealing with others who are not you; in the long run working together will
only better the situation and cause the event to result in more success.

7. Self-Evaluation

a. Communication Skills

In terms of my communication skills I have to say they have developed vastly due to this trip.
At the very beginning I was very blunt and liked to get the point across quick and easy.
However, in doing so some may consider it to be rude or disrespectful. Others feel it to be
demanding etc. Nonetheless through the execution of this trip I had to learn to communicate
more politely and take the extra time to say those extra words, in doing so I was able to
effectively communicate with according representatives and create a pleasing result.

63
Candidate Number 1216

An example of this is when I emailed “Coach Dillon” the psychology instructor. I asked for
him to send me a list of names of the students who were interested in our psychology trip.
Nonetheless, he forwarded the email to my Aice Travel and Tourism instructor with a response
that consisted of three dots, “…”. This resulted in him not being very enthusiastic about
promoting our trip; instead he used it as a form of humor and therefore causing students to lose
interest in the trip. To fix the issue all we did was expand our marketing strategies and it was
fixed, however the point is maybe if I would have been a little clearer with my communication
skills that incident could have been avoided.

b. Problem Solving Skills

With thorough planning I was able to avoid the only major incident we really had. When I
planned the itinerary with Sophia, we made it so that we had an extra 15 minutes of lee way
when leaving the school in case of incidents like the buses arriving late, participants arriving late,
traffic, etc. Therefore because of this when the buses arrived almost 20 minutes late we were able
to still make it to the movie just on time.
Another minor encounter we faced was that when we arrived to the theater the meals were not
all completed. Therefore Celeste and I went to the back and assisted the staff members with
packaging the rest of the meals. Other than that we really did not encounter any other problems.
