| Are YOU at a Dead-End in Pathways? | ||||||
| Or is there an alternate option for you? | ||||||

| Pathways | ||||||
| At a recent Club Officer training session for District 18. someone asked "What do you tell members who have reached a 'dead end' in their path?" What they meant by dead-end was that a member had researched a level in which they did not want to do the required projects. I assumed that perhaps that had completed one path and just did not want to repeat one or more of the projects that are required in all or nearly all paths, for example: | ||||||
|
||||||
| ALTERNATIVE # 1 My answer at the time was to just start another path. ALTERNATIVE # 2 What I should have added was to take a look at ALL the projects in your path. Each path 'requires' only four electives, but in actuality there are almost thirty electives in each path. |
||||||
| Doing all or many of these projects would
be interesting and challenging, and should keep you motivated to
learn new skills. Keep in mind. I am personally nearing the
completion of my fourth path and I find that when repeating a
project I learn something new every time. And remember, repeating a project does NOT mean you must do it the same way. Each time you repeat a project, challenge yourself to stretch, come up with a new and interesting way to present that project, You will grow and your fellow members will see that you are creative and innovative and new or newer members will be inspired to challenge themselves. |
||||||
| I'm in no way suggesting that you don't do the required projects, but if you find you don't want to do a project, skip it for the time being. Come back to it later and maybe it will be more appealing. Keep in mind you will never complete a path if you don't do all the required projects in that path. | ||||||
