Share with us your experience with the activities from this week, human camera and mine field. How was it being blind folded, did you trust yourself, your partner, what was good about the activity what could be changed?
I have learned to have trust in all the students n the class. Its the only way to survive, With this philosophy of trusting everyone in order to do well. The hardest part was the last mine field challenge. I lost the ability to communicate with all the noise. Now the idea occurs to me, that we could have worked together as a class in order to perfect communication clearly.
I feel a lot more comfortable with everyone in this class because of these activities. I really didn't mind being blindfolded because I knew my partner wouldn't let me run into anything or get blown up by the mine field. I preferred the human camera though because I couldn't always hear everything that my partner was trying to tell me, especially when we weren't allowed to talk (since apparently everyone else came up with the same idea of communication that we did -- clapping hands).
I trusted my partners completely in all activities since I knew them pretty well already. I trusted myself because I've known myself forever. Being blind folded was a little scary since I'm not super balanced as I usually am when my eyes are open. The good thing about the activity was that it was in the gymnastics room so if you fell, the floor was nice and it was fun. And I wish there were less people in the minefield so you had less of a chance of interfering with others. Carla Kus
I trusted my partners in both activities. Being blind folded was a little scary just because of the fear of the unknown and its not as easy to take off your blindfold as it is to open your eyes. Kiersten
Being blindfolded was more uncomfortable than I would care to admit, but it's by degrees, so I was still confident that I was not to be horribly injured or anything. Partner wise, I trust pretty much anyone.
I really actually enjoyed this activity. It really taught me to trust my partner and just kind of let go. It was fun and exciting in a way because i didn't know where i was going. The only thing i would have changed though is that we should have had the same partner through out all the days we did the activity. That way we explored different levels of trust with our partner! -alyssa sprengel
To be completely honest, I hate being blindfolded. However, this did not stop my partners and I from having a blast. I had complete confidence in my partner until the activities where we were far away. Everyone was yelling and it was a tough time. All and all a pretty quality week.
I've come to trust the people in this class a lot, so this activity wasn't challenging or scary for me. I just got a little confused when we couldn't stand right next to each other because I had to make sure I was listening to the right person. But I trusted my partner a lot and I'm getting more comfortable with the people in the class. ~ Anushka
I trusted my partner and i thought this was a good acrivity to trust people. something that could change was to be with different people and maybe different obsticle courses. Elisa Perez
I liked this activity. It was a good way to find your trust in poeple too. I started out with a little trust, and it grew once I realize that my partner was doing all they could to keep me from running into anything at all! Marissa Flemming
I trusted both my partners. When we were blindfolded I lost my partner a few times and I didn't really know what to do so I just kind of stood there waiting for her to find me. It's important for us to trust our partner for this activity because if you don't, you could fall and possibly hurt yourself. Sarah Ewert
I thought that over all, these activities really improved trust throughout the class. However, the minefield became pretty chaotic once every got involved. It was hard to distinguish your partner from everyone else. -Katie Prochilo
For this activity, I did trust my partner. It was hard at first really having to have them tell you where to go, but as class continued, I found I could trust my partner to lead me to the other side. When we had our partners stand on the outside, that was when things got really hard. I couldn't hear very well, but I somehow managed across the floor with the trust i had to put into my partner. This activity definitely made me feel like i could trust people. Lauren Betti
I trusted my partners for the different activities, knowing that they aren't going to just leave me alone. I thought it was fun, but at the same time, slightly scary just because I couldn't see where I was going, and my partner had to stay out of the mine zone. The only problem was the not being able to hear my partner during the last activity, but clearly I figured I eventually did.
I thought this activity was fun, and I actually didn't peak at all. I can definitely tell I'm trusting this class more and more with these type of activities. Sara Lawler
I really liked both activities and thought they were fun. I trusted myself and in the mine field excersie I fully trusted my partner, even though at times it was really hard to hear her over some people's screams (...Annie...:). Overall I thought activities were very fun and got us trusting new and different people in the classs. -Karolina Chojnowska
