Drexel: Learning To Work In The Real World

Some of the goals that I plan to accomplish include being on the dean’s list and obtaining a summer medical internship. I wrote about these goals in my previous reflection essay, and they have not changed since. I continue to work hard to achieve these goals. To acquire them I am studying hard and preparing myself for the scientific research I will do in the summer. I have discovered that it is extremely important to learn how to work well in groups, because the internship that I wish to obtain along with many other summer programs requires students from all over the globe to work with one another. So far at Spelman I have completed various group projects in classes like African Diaspora and the World, and I have grown to appreciate the genuine camaraderie that I gained with my group members. Working in groups helped to improve my

Three major traits I have gained include time management, teamwork, and diligence. Managing time requires an abundance of practice, and my typical schedule, as a full time mechanical engineering undergraduate student and a part time employee, forced me to plan my days effectively in order to complete all of my work in a timely manner. Much of this work involved participating with teams of people with various backgrounds and personalities. My high school career had little focus on group assignments; however, the university places a major emphasis on working on teams. With this extensive practice, I have developed the ability to work alongside people with extremely different dispositions and backgrounds. Succeeding in the mechanical engineering degree program is not easy, and as a result, I have spent several weeks focused solely on school. Diligently completing difficult assignments has gotten me to where I am today. During my first year of college, an upperclassman told me, “Although the work does not get easier, you get better at it.” The virtues of time management, teamwork, and diligence are evidence that this statement holds

I am going to be looking at and discussing how to improve on my own and team practice. Within this, I will be discussing why it is important to continue with my professional development and why team work is important in schools. I will also be describing why it is important to be respectful of the skills and expertise that others can bring to the team.

Reflecting on experience is an important capability for an individual to be able to move forward. As (SOURCE) said, “(CONTEXT”). Moreover, individuals ought to be able to work not only individually, but also to work together in a group. Working with other people, especially whom you have not known is not as easy as it seems. In fact, it is quite difficult to develop an effective team. Through this reflection essay on the group presentation that I did last Monday, I have become more aware of useful strategies to deal with issues and understand what could be improved for future presentations. Developing teamwork skills is am important benefit for me as future professional workers.

Collaboration is often first learn with friends (e.g. a sandbox), within the classroom (e.g. team projects). Emily Eldrige also goes on to share her life story, and her tendency not wanting to work in groups. Collaboration, by society standards, is seen as a natural skill, that everyone possess. When student prefer not to work in group, rather than promoting team effort, it is best to ask the students, why are groups not an interest or a likeness. Collaboration falls into three categories: life experiences, personality, and contextual knowledge. Personality is the predominant factor for most students. During this phase in a person's life, he/she is making numerous personal decisions that he/she will carry for the rest of his/her life. When

As an individual, I learn most effectively in small groups. With Vassar’s student-faculty ratio of 8:1, I will be able to build strong and long-lasting relationships by engaging in close and direct interactions with my peers and professors.

UT Austin offers me a world of possibilities that I could only dream of. UT is already extremely erudite, so making an impact will be difficult. But I will tackle this huge challenge, because I know I can bring unique traits that are uncommon in this world. One of those being, I am very collaborative. I function well in teams because I can communicate with people honestly and positively. At UT I know these skills will help everyone learn more and learn faster. In the real world, all jobs are team oriented, so I know that my good teamworking skills will help other students learn how to communicate ideas. I learned most of my team working skills from robotics club. As part of our new member training, I led a group of new members in building a

All participants agreed that there were things that could be done to improve their relationship with their colleagues in their educational experiences. Most agreed that better communication with colleagues would definitely improve their relationships with their colleagues.

My cooperative nature stems from my diverse experiences. As a CNA and tutor, I work independently, but I also routinely collaborate with my supervisors and peers to provide the best service. These qualities will benefit me as a PA, where I will work with consulting physicians and other healthcare affiliates to deliver exceptional care. Furthermore, by being conscientious I work hard and operate with integrity, two values I learned to appreciate from my environment. Being the first of my family to attend college, gratitude powered my resilience. This mentality helped me when my father was laid off work; and I had to take on two jobs to assist my family, as well as pay for school. Although this led to challenges early in my college tenure, eventually I was able to successfully maintain both jobs while remaining a dedicated full-time student - as evidenced by the upward trend of my GPA. It is this resiliency that has pushed me to continue on my path to becoming a PA.

Conversely, a work environment such as my co-op placement is drastically different from what would be found in a school. This is mainly because of the characteristics of all individuals,

Furthermore, prior work experience and involvement as a student-leader has helped me develop interpersonal and organizational skills, both of which are critical in project collaboration and professional settings. For example, I serve as Hedrick Residential Hall Treasurer where I track budgets, cooperate with other members in the student body government to fund events, and present bi-weekly updates. This has helped me successfully serve as a member of a team as well as work with diverse groups of people.

By sharing their diverse perspectives, working together on assignments or on research, or simply supporting each other, students can achieve more. In addition, I personally prefer a cooperative environment over a competitive one. Some of my most enjoyable experiences during the last four years have been with my school math team and the New York City Math Team, working together with the other members to help each other perform well on the competitions. We helped our teammates understand how to solve different types of problems and learned their strengths and weaknesses, eventually forming into a community. In college, I hope to find a new community of students with whom to share my

The experience I have that will allow me to influence others in a positive way is collaboration. I have learned best by working with group because it allowing me to get the ideas from others. Not only it giving me the ideas I also gained more knowledge. For example, the classmate are doing the experiment about how the two plants are contrast indicating one by the window and one in the shade. The group has to decides to come up with solutions. Each person may have different opinions. So, gather the information and by sharing answers with one another's helps me understand the ideas. If I am doubt about something I like to see and questioning someone.

Genuine learning originates from individuals. Taking in that knowledge requires great coordinated effort and administration. I trust that, the capacity to interconnect and team up with in a gathering setting of different individual qualities and learning condition will come about a win. While teaming up with individuals or building up a team, one must consider

Through my experiences, I have been able to meet and work with a variety of people with different characters. Especially in a school setting where different types of people are placed in the same room, developing a like and dislike for certain people was inevitable. Despite that, I was still able to perform well and achieve progress with those people. Having the chance to work with them has really helped me develop the values that I have today, and I find that those values are more evident when I am working with others. For example, these values of mine are shown especially in cases where I have to work with other
