Felt experience:
Isabella: I can remember how I felt when I received my first acceptance letter into college. The ORDER in which I got my acceptance was through a large blue letter in the mail. I was shocked, astounded and proud. I was ready to START my journey as a college student, increasing my knowledge and abilities one step at a time. I was excited to CONNECT with new people and make friends, but I was also scared. I would be going to school in Rhode Island, four hours from home. I would not see my family often and would have to figure things out on my own. I was hope full I would accomplish this, but of course still hesitant.
Brynn: I was 10 years old when my parents told me I was going to be having a new sibling and I was no longer the youngest in the family. I thought I was going to get left out and the new baby would create an imbalance in the family CONSTRUCT. When we found out they were giving birth to a girl I imagined myself being forgotten as the only girl in the family once the new baby came. My Nana called me 4 hours after her arrival and I was taken to the hospital to be UNITED with her for the first time. I'm walking down the hallway nervous with butterflies and underlying excitement. I see my dad and he is pushing my new sister, Rylie, in a little cart. I lean down and look into her big blue eyes and say, "I don't get it, she looks like an alien." He told me to be quiet and to not say that in front of my mom. What I learned is that change is inevitable and we must NAVIGATE through new and different challenges.
Matt:
Matt: Over the summer I spent a few hours volunteering at the Rhode Island Food Bank. There were many of us, and we were each assigned a specific task and formed an assembly line. Though we each had separate jobs, our efforts were INTERCONNECTED as the completion of one person’s task was essential for the next person’s ability to complete their task. Our individual efforts were COMBINED to achieve high productivity and efficiency. The Food Bank uses this FRAMEWORK for completing tasks because it is successful in preparing large quantities of donated goods for shipment and it feeds the most people.

Accomplish / Hesitant )
Word Pool:
Two words →
Accomplish: Success, fulfill, achieve, execute, perpetrate, realize, reach, actualize, materialize, complete
Hesitant: Reluctant, tentative, ambivalent, skeptical, dubious, uncertain, doubtful, afraid, wary, disinclined
Re-Structure:
To achieve SUCCESS, one must balance SKEPTICISM and acceptance.
Felt Experience:
Isabella: Right now I am starting to apply to law school. All I can think about is SUCCESS at the end of the road, that is hopefully begin excepted. Of course there is SKEPTICISM in my head regarding if I will. The competition is overwhelming, the standardized test is challenging and the factors that determine my future are unknown. I have accepted if I do not receive entry to the place of my choice I will work a year in the finance industry to build my knowledge, then I will try again until I succeed.
Brynn: Living alone in NYC over the summer was nerve racking but also exhilarating. It
created a new type of independence in me that I enjoyed even though I was SKEPTICAL about my choice. I found myself walking around aimlessly through different boroughs to create new experiences. Being alone got me to SUCCESSFULLY take care of myself.
Matt:This past spring I took a chance and decided to run for President of Beta Alpha Psi, which is URI’s accounting honor society. Having never served as a club officer before, I was SKEPTICAL about my chances in the election. On the evening of the vote I gave a speech to the club members, asking for their vote. Afterwards, I left the room and waited in the hall for the results of the vote. When the door opened again, I was informed of my SUCCESS in the election. I was grateful for everyone who cast their vote for me and I have since worked hard to provide great opportunities for our members.

Final paragraphs:
REALIZED: To comprehend completely or correctly
INSIGHT: The ability to discern the true nature of a situation, especially by intuition
Isabella: Words are an important part of our everyday lives. Through this activity, as a group we have been able to use words to evoke feelings, memories and intertwine ideas. This activity has helped me visualize the movement and connection of words and ideas we have. We built a “structure” in which our knowledge can flow to one another, integrating it into new concepts. This new found network has meaning.
Matt: Words are symbols that evoke feelings within us. We always associate emotions and images with text; it is an involuntary, natural reaction that occurs within us. Through this exercise, I was enlightened by the many associations I formed with the text. From the initial opening structure, my thoughts travelled in different directions as I created word pools and pulled from my own felt experiences to expand on and create new associations. My thoughts and emotions evolved throughout this exercise, and my understanding of the initial opening structure greatly expanded.
Brynn: Words are one of the great tools we humans use to communicate every minute of every day. It is something we all have in common and a constant medium in networking and socializing. This fishbowl activity I did with my group gave a new meaning to the attachment between words and feelings. Something I will take away from this is the importance of how certain words will connect with specific ideas and in turn expand one’s understanding of the topic or story being told.
