Mission Techies Spring 2016 Class
Thursday, February 19, 2015
Elijah Toluao 2/19
Today we (Mission Techies) began the day with a group ice breaker activity where we passed an imaginary ball around the group. It was fun and it helped me feel more comfortable around my fellow techies. I felt the activity was meant to show us lessons on teamwork and just cooperating with each other. One of the messages Leo told us was no matter how hard or easy a situation would get, we would all work together and lean on each other to get through it. We also created power point presentations about ourselves highlighting certain skills, qualifications and experience we bring to the table or in this case the Mission Techies Program. Today was very exciting because we got a little preview about some of the things we'll be doing throughout the next 12 weeks. Going in with no experience in the Technology Industry is at times scary but with the environment and aura set up by Leo and the others at MEDA, I know I'll be just fine.
