Normally, we could choose our partner but somehow that time, my lecturers decided to pick 2 names, randomly, formalists, and Unfortunately, I ended I ended up with Lee, the last person I wanted to work with. Now let me explain why I really didn’t lie her. First off, she was incredibly lazy and irresponsible. Many of my classmates had worked with her before, and they all said she was the witness linked in their teams. Siliva finished her task on time, always had excuse and level of responsibility. As someone who cares a lot about my studies, I couldn’t stand the idea of getting a bad grade because of someone else’s on top of that, she was kind of being always taken before always talking behind people’s backs, which I absolutely had.

This story takes me back to a bad assignment. I had to work with a classmate at university about a year ago. At the time, I was studying a subject called public speaking, and as a requirement of the course, I had to work with another person to prepare for a presentation. Normally, we could choose our partner, but somehow that time, my lecturers decided to pick two names randomly, from a list. Unfortunately, I ended up with Lee, the last person I wanted to work with. Now let me explain why I really didn't like her. First off, she was incredibly lazy and irresponsible. Many of my classmates had worked with her before, and they all said she was the weakest link in their teams. She rarely finished her tasks on time, always had excuses, and lacked a sense of responsibility. As someone who cares a lot about my studies, I couldn't stand the idea of getting a bad grade because of someone else's lack of effort. On top of that, she was kind of a gossip, always talking behind people's backs, which I absolutely hated. Working with her was tough, but I had to suck it up and find a way to cover for her for the sake of my grades. I tried to be as friendly and supportive as possible. When she struggled, I encouraged her and gave her compliments on her work. I was also careful with my words during our discussions to avoid hurting her feelings. Thankfully, in the end, everything turned out okay. We got a pretty good grade for our presentation, and I was really relieved.
