Sally joined DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) at the University of Utah.
She was very excited for the opportunity to participate and make new friends. However,
when she got to the first meeting she had a hard time making new friends; a lot of the
members went to high school together as well as participated in DECA for years. As a
result, they are all good friends and enjoy one another's company. Sally often has a
hard time understanding what her role in the club is because they mostly reminisce on
memories and tell her to do what they did when they had won in the past. Sally is
worried that these could be red flags, but she is unsure what to do since they are her
leaders and peers. What would be the best way for her to see if these are red flags or
her nerves? - Answers :Kindly approach the group with examples of behavior that
makes her uncomfortable and ask if there is a way they can fix it.
