Adjourning and Saying Good-bye

Once a group has meant its goal and objective it moves to the adjourning stage. This stage is vital in teamwork because at some point the team splints up and we can share with others what we have learned and can adjourn with a positive ending. The closing rituals that we had was we had a farewell get together we gave each other hugs, high fives and set a date for a time to get together after the carnival.

The hardest group that I had to leave was when I transferred to a new school to work at. The first job that I had working at a school my co-workers and I had to play the school carnival and we all came in with a positive attitude and great ideals. Even though we all worked in different grade levels we still had a great time and grew together both personally and professionally. Those are the times I will remember even though I left we still get together at least 2 or 3 times a year. When my husband died I got the greatest support from the group that I worked together with and we have an everlasting bond.

 As our time is getting close to leave with our Master’s degree I feel that has I adjourn from all of my colleagues at Walden I will feel sad but happy at the same time. I will feel sad because I will miss my classmates and professors that I learned so much from. I will be happy because I would have fulfilled my dream of getting my degree that I have always wanted. Even though we are saying good-bye to each other but hopefully stay in contact through e-mails and Facebook.
