I would like to talk about a person whose name is Raj. I met him at the college during my first year. He was arrogant and sometimes seemed to be a bit rude. I thought he was an arrogant person. I did not like talking to him much at first. One day my teachers had put us in a safe group for a group project. I need to ensure our teamwork would be effective and did not make us fail in the project. At first Raj gave strong opinions for the project and I felt annoyed. But as we started working I realized he was actually very helpful. He guided the team and helped us solve problems quickly. His support was very good. He was just very direct in his communications. By the end of the project I saw a different side of him. He was very kind and hardworking. We started talking more and eventually became good friends. Now I appreciate his honesty and he has helped me grow in many ways. He is a person who respects him because of his straight forward nature and his ability to express himself without fear. In the future I would love to work with Rohan. If I get a chance. Overall he left a lasting impression on me. I am very lucky to know him.
