Oh he's joking
Initial Reaction:
Oh he's not...
But now:
The concept of getting a group of college students to collect donated cars like they're free pizza or something is pretty ridiculous and absurd, which is why it is also ridiculously and absurdly invigorating. I'm excited and maybe slightly nervous for what this challenge will require of me because honestly, I have no idea of how to obtain a car, much less a car someone is willing to donate. Ironically enough, I myself do not have a car, so if inventory is missing one....it wasn't me, I swear.
I'm not just excited for the challenge itself, but for the cause it represents. I was pleasantly overwhelmed by the services and facilities Goodwill has to offer and the impact it has in Columbus. Having the opportunity to help in any way for Goodwill is motivation in it of itself.
I hope to contribute my 'competitive' and 'achieving' strengths to get results, and also my 'relator' and 'arranger' skills to promote sufficient teamwork and efficiently utilize my teammates strengths as well. There is so much to learn from this challenge and I'm excited to collaborate and innovate. This challenge will definitely test my creativity skills or lack thereof, and it will also put me out of my comfort zone. Asking people (practically strangers) for things (cars) makes me uncomfortable. I was never one to go door-to-door to solicit donations and such, even when I was a girl-scout selling cookies. My strategy was leaving it in the office kitchen where my dad worked.... worked like a charm.
I'm excited and anxious to do this because, well as far as I know, this type of challenge assignment has never been done before, at least by college students. BLF: The Trailblazers.... That was a joke.
