Chapter 1

I chose a quote from the reading to reflect on. First, "We don't always need to go very far from home to find groups of people whose ways of behaving and communicating are different and interesting, yet unfamiliar to us." I chose this quote because it says a lot about my life. As a three sport athlete high school, the way I communicated with my team mates changed from season to season. During football season the team was very individual. By this I mean there were groups who were self excluded and those who would not miss out for the world. The team was not really close at all. But all of this would change completely. On the swim team we all were so close. We did everything together. It was like the week between seasons the world changed. I say this because there was another football player on the swim team and during football season we would not get along, but as soon as swimming started we were like best friends. I say these things to show that we do not have to go very far at all. as little as a couple hundred of feet. I found that the way the teams interacted was different from season to season. The way the football team was much different then the swim team, and baseball was not even in the same ballpark.
