3 Years of STEAM Part I

Transformation, according to Dictionary.com (using the American Heritage Dictionary's second meaning) means a marked change, as in appearance or character, usually for the better.

Our team underwent several transformations. Though, technically, people left the company and were replaced, I still would say that those changes were transformation. It was a marked change for the remaining members because it allowed us to make the most out of it. It also allowed us to ensure that the team move forward. Change is for the better.

From September 2005 to April 2006, this is STEAM batch 1.

From May 2006 to Dec 2007, STEAM underwent rigorous change.

Karla left, then Stef, then Berns...so we welcomed Maneelene, Dominic, and Norman while Erman and Rupher transferred, Kaila and Me-ann took over. Middle of 2007 saw Rey leaving the team and Darren transferring to another group...Claire and Maris enter. 2007 was supposed to end with Mark, MeMay, JP, Julie as the surviving members with the support from Maneelene, Dominic and Norman who entered middle of 06 while Kaila and Me-ann entered latter part of 06. However, Kaila decided to move on at the end of 07 so we have to find a replacement fast.

It's 2008. After Kaila, Darwin arrived. It is September and we will be celebrating our 3rd year in existence. Imagine, we are 3 years old. Definitely, we are toddlers. As toddlers, we are still capable of learning as long as our bodies and minds yearn for it. This is the new look of STEAM after 3 years. We are definitely transformed but we are not mature yet. We are a sapling to a tree.
