Hate The Project But Love The Group
First,
I would like to say, all I liked about the group project was the group part of
it. Personally, the work was kind of boring but, doing it as a team made it
much less burdensome. I always loathed working in a group and I still do most
of the time, but this was different. The reason I despised these types of
assignments was because nobody seemed interested in talking to each other. It
would always feel like an obligation. I expected no better from this class.
Imagine my surprise when it was not so. On our first assignment we immediately
hit it off. Out of all the groups, we were the only ones laughing. It is not
that we were not doing the work, we would keep telling jokes or just talk about
funny things as we were doing it. I remember how our first assignment was late
and we made a sort of “search party” to hunt down our professor. It was fun. The
only thing I detest about this group is the name. Holistic Nomads. God, I hate
that name. My biggest regret is not doing everything in my power to change that
godforsaken name. It just sounds so cringy. Every time I heard it being said, I
would shiver. The name is strangely adequate though. Holistic is defined as
“all inclusive” and that is exactly what this team is. I have never felt
excluded. Everyone seems to accept me for who I am. I wish to remain in contact
for the future. I do not know whether everyone sees this the way I do. This
could very well be the start of something cool. I always wanted somewhere to
belong. To have friends who I can talk to and depend on. The thought of
everyone going their own separate ways makes me unhappy. Everyone has something
to offer. Sergio is very quiet and reserved for the most part, but when he does
speak he is quite hilarious. Miguel is also funny in his own sarcastic way.
Kiara is super friendly and sociable. Isabel is intelligent and has very
interesting things to say. Alondra is very kind towards everyone. I am sort of
the eccentric one, to say the least. I
really want to get to know more of everyone and be true friends with them all.
Hell, I even proposed to hang out sometime after the semester is over. Maybe play some board games, drink some beer,
and maybe watch a movie. I have had very few friends over the years. I have always
been meticulous choosing my friends, For I only make friends with people I
truly like. People would also find me to be extremely odd, sometimes even
stupid, so that also did not help in socialization. Despite the extreme
difficulty I have in socializing and making friends thanks to my Asperger syndrome,
I still hope to make some truly great companions. Who does not want that? Thanks
to this project I was able to meet some truly genuine people. For that I am
truly thankful.
