Team Experience Working with others has not been difficult for me. Two reasons I believe this occurs are I always challenge myself to do great work and I am also patient with other people. Unfortunately, these are two traits I suspect contributed to a challenging team experience, from which I was able to learn a lesson. I believe these are quality traits, essential for me to be able to do any good group work with other people. As such, I will need to continue to employ them, but in a correct manner, as I will have to work in teams as I continue in my accounting curriculum, in my work, and in everyday life as I will be able to accomplish so much more than I could hope to do by myself. With that in my mind, after my team experiences I make a point to remember what worked great and what did not, and I take my insights on to the next group I work with. The experience which gave me great lessons for future team work was one during my time at the university. I came to see that the way I participated in the team was not conducive to making it an effective team. First, from the start of a class I set out to do good work, because I aim for an A. The reason this did not help in this team experience is because in our first team meeting when I asked my group members what their grade expectations were, one said a C, another said I just want to pass, and the fourth one was not even present, later I learned she was ok with a C. Not until later did I realize, I really had an…

A well investigated and thoroughly documented case will result in a successful conviction in court. An investigator is usually called to respond to a crime scene and his field notes and report are important in the prosecution of a case. The investigator has to be well organized and be able to bring the crime scene together so that he/she can create a “big picture” (Lyman, p.32). Every investigator has to develop their own note taking system. A good note taking system can help the…

Waking up early in the morning, and then coming to absolute torture! School It’s just hard, and boring! But currently I’m in maths, why does it have to be so hard and boring? Why does Mr. Holland have to give us a test every week? When will we even need to know algebra? Can’t he just stop giving lectures and move on, like hey, we are in 7th grade not college! We are in middle school not COLLEGE! He makes me want to fall asleep… “Hey Alex, wake up it’s time for lunch!” Louis says, he’s the boy…

I have chosen “Mamma Mia”, a fictional story inspired by the music of the Swedish pop group, ABBA. The title of the musical is one of the group’s songs, and it sung throughout the show. I chose it because I saw it pretty recently with one of my closest friends, and it opened up a world of new love and appreciation for Broadway and Musical Theatre to me, even though I loved it already. It’s hard to talk about the musical without mentioning the history of the hugely successful group, ABBA.…

Dear Keenan, It’s me, Tristan. I’ve wanted to reply to your thanks and the advice you shared with me, some of that has really stuck with me and will for the rest of my life.I wanted to say thank you for the thank you, but not only the thank you but for everything. You were always there for me and some of the conversations we shared my junior and senior year were some of the most important in my high school career, and I wish I had met you sooner as I probably would’ve figured much more of it…
