Assignment - My Connections

Often we do not realize the number of connections we make in a day. It can be a simple "hello" to a stranger and the person smiles. Daily connections are as important as the network of people with whom you have a greater connection.

Requirement:

For this assignment you will create a diary and track your connections over the course of a week. This assignment is to create an awareness of the people who come into your life on a daily basis, by creating a diary tracking your connections over the course of a full week, 7 days, Monday to Sunday, and how that person influenced you . Remember to title your work and include the date.

There are many ways to share your connections for a week. You may wish to keep a diary, create a mind map or use the example below. The purpose of the assignment is creating an awareness of the many people we come in contact with and how they have influenced you in some way.

See the following example:

Day	Where are you?	What was the interaction and with whom? How did the interaction influence you?
Monday	walking to school	Spoke with my neighbour about the weather. She smiled when she replied and thanked me for asking. This made me feel good that she was pleased that I spoke with her.
Monday	at school	Helped the janitor move his ladder. He thanked me and said that many students talk to him let alone help. I was pleased that I was able to make him feel good.
Monday	Petro Can	Opened the door for an elderly lady who said her name is Mary. This small action brightened my day.
