Another wonderful day! Today we waxed the rest ski boards and the most exciting thing is that we got to test the result: we skied on the ski boards that we waxed! It was an adventure for all of us, none of us did cross country ski before, of course, and we all had fun of skiing.
This afternoon, we did our first out door project: storage fire wood. There was a pile of fire wood that located close by the river. We moved the pile of fire wood to the wood shed near by the urban ecology center. The distance from the fire wood located to the wood shed wasn’t far; however, it was posited at the lower part of the hill and the slop was very steep. As a team, each of us took a place to stand on from the pile to the shed. We toss the wood from the fire wood pile to the wood shed one by one. We moved half of the pile in an hour; we moved all the woods that are no frozen on the mud. It was a huge success for us; Fox, the UEC’s staff was amazed by how much we have done on this task.
From the fire wood moving experience, I realized that the team work is really important. When I first heard the task, my first thought was each of us takes one piece of wood move back and forth in between the two locations. However, what Fox wanted we to do were totally different. He wanted us each take a spot and toss the wood to next person and the person who stand close to the shed put the wood into the shed in a clear order. Suddenly I realized that we are a team not just multiple individuals. With a little bit team cooperation, we could finish the work much more efficient. As a result, we did increase the wood delivering speed; it was way faster than each of us brings one pieces of wood at a time. I experienced the team work today, I liked our team, and I believe the rest of the team felt the same I did.
