Things have been going so downhill lately. there are two sides and me not so in the middle, but getting both ends anyways. And me telling everything secretly is NOT going to help! A team meeting is desperately needed even when some don't think its necessary. and if they don't think we need one, then they have no idea what is going on...
And if they don't want to have a team meeting, just tell everyone to read this:
Favoritism: main reason of team division. everyone feels the same way and i'm not going to say names, but to everyone of the team, it should be pretty obvious.
talking behind eachother's back: not everyone can assume that when another person is whispering something, that its something bad about them. maybe they are, but don't retaliate by talking about them to other people. it makes the situation snowball even more, and thats how things have gotten so bad.
opinions/help: there are 24 people on the team who could help if you just asked. we all realize that leading all of us IS hard, but thats why we feel you should be comfortable with asking us for anything.
secrets: especially for me right now, secrets are not fun. i don't want to keep it in anymore and i think the whole team should know whats actually going on.
upholding what our team stands for: our team name isn't something random. When we all got on, we were expected to be role models and actually reinforce our name at all times. We have gotten speeches about this before and i think that being ICONS is another aspect about being on this team.
Time: it has been stressed that being on time is important. we are supposed to not be late, especially during this time because it MIGHT have an effect on where your blocked. i say might because if your not there when we are blocking, you shouldn't be in the dance because its a hassle, but thats not always reinforced.
Unprepared: I'm not the only one who feels like we are always unprepared all the time. And even though you say that we do this all the time, i don't want it to be like this all the time. Like i said before, i know its hard to have everything done because of school and maybe boys. But i don't feel like we are reaching our full potential like if we had just another week to get ready. I think that if we prepared for it more, we would be super clean and be like amazing. at this point, we look good, maybe great, but why settle for that when we could reach higher.
i can't stress enough that WE KNOW THAT ITS HARD TO BE A DIRECTOR, AND WE APPRECIATE IT. But this isn't just how i feel, but how alot of us girls do, i'm just the one who can't keep it in anymore. I've been on this team for over a year, and it makes me so sad to see it go down especially right now and in this way.
I really hope that no one takes this in the wrong way. please don't!
this is not meant to be mean, but to explain the division within our team. i just want everything to be out in the open like how it should be. Because i know none of us want a huge blowout like what happened at pcn last year.
