The Last Good-Byes

            In my first group project, it did not go so well because everything went wrong for me. My computer was acting up because I did not realize that I needed to download adobe on my computer. The leader was upset with me and went and reported me to the teacher. She and another member was conversation me and another member in the study. I thought it was very unprofessional. But the teacher took care of it and explained to me that I need to download the adobe on my computer. The team leader and her partner asked me to forgive them which I did. But there was no trust, respect, and no listening skills in this project especially, on the team leader side.

After everything was completed, and we began the project individuals has to do something in the design. It was four of us my duty was getting the information we needed for our project. I was very shocked and surprised when team leader Sharon and the members agree to go with School Bullying for our topic for the project. I went to Blytheville high school and got the School Bullying Policy. We began to gather the information we needed to put the plan together. When everyone put their minds, heads, and energy together as a team, the leader did her part. Everyone began to communicate and asking questions about the project. When one could not find or accomplish their part, we would volunteer and help get the project together.

We did an excellent job I was excited about working together with people I did not even know. But at this moment we began to feel like we were at home. We knew that the end was near, and we did not want it to come to the finish line not just yet. We did not want it to end because everyone started to communicate and dialogue lead to relationships. This is what I gained in this project forever friendship between the people I collaborated with during this project. I hated for this section of my life to end because I learned that when people communicate with each other they form a bond. When we come together, we can conquer anything we set minds to. It is very hard to say good-bye when you get to know the people you are working with. Because you have grown closer through by means of communication.

  1. Cedar,
    I read about this group situation in your discussion but I did not realize that it ended up being a positive situation for you. It sounds as though you developed good relationships through the struggles in the beginning. Your story made me think about how adversity can bring about satisfying and fulfilling relationships. I think having challenges demands that we communicate. Even if that communication is negative in the beginning, we eventually clear the air and we are left with respectful relationships. I am so glad it all turned out well for you.
