Group Project Reflection

Working in a group isn't something new for me; I did a lot of group projects in my high school.  I felt a little weird about doing a group project in college. I thought that in college there would be none or minimal group projects and hearing this the first week of my English class shook me. I was a little nervous because I didn't know anyone in my class. The day the teacher assigned the groups was a little bit awkward because nobody knew anybody. That same day, we were supposed to name our group and assign the responsibilities of each member. I was assigned to be one of the researchers. My job was to research about the topic or things relate to that topic that we were working on. Assigning the responsibilities was pretty fast, but deciding the name was kind of hard. We had no clue what name to choose for the group. Everybody started brainstorming about possible names, but as time passed we had only two possible names and none of them was that great. We decided to keep looking for names, until one of the members thought  that the group should be named English Thunder. We all agreed because it was simple, related to English, and to be honest it was the only good one we had.

I'm truly glad about this opportunity of working on a group project. It has helped me learn about various topics like for example: gender, racism, prejudice, and others. Also, thanks to it, I've made a couple of friends that I'm really glad to have. This project was really unique because unconsciously we were learning from each other and making ourselves better persons, but the thing that I'm really grateful for is that I had the opportunity to meet great people and if this opportunity comes again without a doubt I will do it again.
