Mentorship

I feel that a mentor just falls into your hands from chance. In my experience with people that I've talked to and what I know, you gain a friendship either through work or school. You get a bond by working with that person and come to realize that this person is guiding you, someone that your looking up to and before you know it this person is someone that you rely on. You would be able to go to that person and they wouldn't expect anything in return. I have personally never had a mentor, however, I look forward to either having the opportunity of having one, or being one myself someday.

Mentor

Finding a mentor can happen multiple times throughout ones life. Finding one can also happen a matter of ways. Making yourself known is the first step, especially to whomever you chose to be your mentor. Getting them to help you is after you established some type of relationship with this person, getting to know them and them getting to know you. Once a relationship is established there is trust and similarities that get realized and then one may dedicate time and energy into helping you. Sharing similarities can help because then it may take less convincing in order to have this person mentor you. 

Guerra e Pace National Anthem

We are the country of Guerra e Pace

We are the country of freedom and equality

 

The people united can never be divided

Together we stand

For the people

For the mother land

Guerra e Pace

 

We were once part of a nation

That was destroyed from an explosion

And out of the ashes we have risen

We are Guerra e Pace

 

The people united can never be divided

Together we stand

For the people

For the land

Guerra e Pace

        I am realizing that this game is more fun than I thought it would be. I think that it took a while to pick up and get interesting but now I think it is very interesting. I do not like that sometimes we only have a few minutes to come up with laws, I think that having more time is helpful. But I also recognize that Odin is trying to give us more time.
        Personally I think our group is very good at making decisions together. We all very reasonable and hear each other out before making a decision. I really like it because we are able to come to decisions quickly and are all comfortable talking truthfully about our own opinions on the different problems that are thrown at us.
         I think it would be cool to have someone a little more aggressive in the group. It would make things a little more interesting to have more "heated" debates.
         When it comes to others nations or countries we are all have talked about making decisions as a group, presidents opinions come first of course. But overall we work really good together coming to a conclusion that we are all okay with.
Honestly I think that I am proactive as is our whole group. I like  that the whole group comes up with multiply ideas for us to go over. I also think that we all help with the wording and terms of the laws.
         I don't necessarily think we are trying to take after any one nation. But we do have the knowledge of mistakes some nations have made and we do talk about that and sometimes it does weigh on our decisions. I do think that we use that to our advantage.

                                            

Blog Assignment 8

The game is interesting. It makes you look at the hard decisions law makers have to make. Our group works well together to make decisions on how to run our country. We have not had much chance to see how other countries are run or a chance to interact with them other than once. If I was to change something I think it would be to come up with the laws for homework and interact with other countries during class. I think our group is trying to be proactive, but it difficult to think of all the possibilities that could come up.

The Game

My group definitely works together in making decisions for the country and I am very happy with the way my group works. When we meet up in groups, my group always just throws ideas onto the table and we pick and choose the ones we feel fit our country the best. I like the route my country is in and I think it is good where it stands because we have a president that is for war and against war and the creativity just shows. We have not discussed a strategy when dealing with other countries.  Our country is based off original ideas, I guess you can say that growing up in the USA has influenced some of my ideas, but I wouldn’t say our country wants to be like any country that is already existing today.
