Special Place
For our special place, our group chose the umbrella area on campus. This became our special because it was the first place we met as a group outside of the classroom setting, and we have now met there for every other time we decide to conjugate. This area is located on the CSU Chico campus next to the library, in front of the student services center. In this specific place we have explored our identities and new experiences. Ever since we have met in this place, or meet here before we work together, we are able to share stories, learn and understand the other members of our groups, take on roles in various aspects, and more. Ever since our first meeting we choose to meet here a little bit earlier than the time we determine to start working together as a group, and therefore we are able to communicate and discover things we had not known about each other. We each choose to sit in one of the over sized chairs and devote time to share things from our days or experiences we had since we last met. This has led to the concept of us building a connection and feelings for this particular place. Therefore, when we pass this place or meet here, we revisit the feelings we had when we experienced it with our group members. There is not another place on campus where we have been able to build a connection collectively, and also be able to identify ourselves with this unique place.
