So this happened when I got a group project where my teachers gave it to a class. She divided the class to 8 groups and I was in group 6 and I had to work with a guy that I’ve been studying with for 2 months. And you know what? I’m tired of a very serious person who takes everything seriously. But the guy who I work with, really, nonchalant, don’t take anything seriously. So it’s kind of big difference in personality where I cannot connect to him at first. So I was discussing with him about these problems and you know what? we find a solution that we will divide the project to many parts and with each personality we will put it in a suitable part that we think is suitable and we can do it. And finally the project was completely accomplished. And you know, it was a… And you know, we got 80 on 100 marks. And that was a really amazing experience when I when the first time I had to to find a solution with a person that got a really different personality from me so I learned that everything can be solved We just sit, we jotted and think about the solution seriously and you know that was a really great experience that I would never forget. At the end we become best friends and really close to each other.

So this happened when I got a group project assigned by my teacher to the class. She divided the class into eight groups, and I was in group six. I had to work with a guy that I had been studying with for two months. You know what? I'm tired of very serious people who take everything seriously. But the guy I worked with was really nonchalant and didn't take anything seriously. So there was a big difference in personality, and I couldn't connect with him at first. I discussed these problems with him, and you know what? We found a solution: we would divide the project into many parts, and for each part, we would assign it to the personality that we thought was most suitable for it. Finally, the project was completely accomplished. We got 80 out of 100 marks. It was an amazing experience, especially the first time I had to find a solution with someone who had a really different personality from mine. I learned that everything can be solved if we just sit down, jot down our ideas, and think about the solution seriously. That was a great experience that I will never forget. In the end, we became best friends and grew really close to each other.
