Weeks 10,11, and 12

Wow, I got really bad at keeping y'all up to date on my adventure in the School of Communications Foundations. Let's catch up really quickly.
Week 10 was trends in communication. I thought this week was really fun. The speaker was a professor at the university here in Madison and I really enjoyed him. He focuses on educational gaming. So what did we do? We made a game! I partnered up with three of the guys and we built a game based on the North Korean prison camp, Camp 22. I learned a lot about North Korea during that time and all I did was help design the camp. One of the guys and I are hoping to finish it, but I do not know how realistic we are being in that dream. This guy is actually the one who led my outreach with his wife and he will be entering into a co-leadership role out at the Training Center and will be one of the leaders of the new DTS. So pray for him because he is coming out of a school and jumping into leading a school of a little under forty students. That was quite a side note. haha So week 10 was awesome.
Week 11.... Intra personal communication week. This week was amazing and at the same time, I despise it. Just being honest. Intra personal communication is how you talk inside yourself. (Hence, intra.) The speaker led us into a time of looking at Moses and the burning bush. Moses began to believe various lies about himself while he was in the desert. For example, Moses was raised with the princes of the land of Egypt and therefore, given the same education. All the princes were taught how to speak. To be influential speakers. In the New Testament (I have to look up where) it says that Moses was one of the best speakers in the land, but Moses is at the burning bush saying "No God, I cannot speak". Which is not true because he was trained. But he began to believe lies. We all do. Week 11 included a presentation: Risk Night. Basically, it is all in the name. This was a night about taking risks.  What did I do? Well, why would you want to know that. :P 
I had the worst time trying to figure out what a "risk" was for me. Performance wise, there is really not one. I have done almost everything possible on a stage and not a single thing is really a risk. There are some things that would freak me out more than others, but all in all, it was not about doing something on stage. For me, this night was what I would be saying. Actually, I did not say anything the whole entire time I was on stage- I did a mime to a voice-over. And I was shaking the whole time as I bared the truth of who I am. I tried to hide so much and for my risk, I peeled back layers and layers of who I try to pretend to be and try to show other people. My risk: vulnerability. Looking back, I can still not believe I was vulnerable with people I did not know super well.
Week 11: success
Week 12 was debriefing. How was the school, the leaders/staff, etc. Oh and a review. Over all: it was alright. Extremely tiring.
I am still realizing the different things I have learned throughout these three months and I am excited to continue in my new skills and this thing of vulnerability. For now, my next step is remaining in Wisconsin. I move out to the countryside in a couple of weeks and will be living there from September onward. New and exciting stories and lessons.
