Blackman taught me about healthy aging, my experience with the team helped me hone my understanding of how to function in a group. When interacting with new people, a “feeling” period is necessary. People may not fit in immediately, but they can adapt to each other. The most important thing at the start is not to give a bad impression which could tarnish perceptions. On our first visit, it felt like all four of us were seeking balance in our interactions with Mr. Blackman. Not only did this allow Mr. Blackman to get a better feel for each individual, but it also allowed us to get to know each other better. This helped set the tone for future visits. Even though I was the facilitator for the second visit and the two nursing students led the third visit, the responsibilities and actions performed were balanced among the team members. There was a desire to ensure everyone was involved and engaged in the visit. I believe this willingness to get to know each other first, and then use that information to help maintain balance in the group, not only allowed us to function better as a group, but also helped to maintain a good attitude within the group.
