collaboration blog

I think working in a group with different people has its benefits and its disadvantages. Everyone is different and everyone has different paces. Some disadvantages are, for example, is that it’s hard for someone to be in a group with people that leave things for the last minute or vise-versa. Or if someone is very productive and is wanted to do really good on a project and is working really hard to get things done but at the same time going all out and they know they won’t get it done if everyone in their group is not on that same state of mind. On the other hand working with people is a good experience to have. You get to meet people and are able to establish relationships and some even turn out to be long life ones. I personally like working in either situation, but if I’m working in a group they better be doing there work! :)

My Home

Home to me is freedom. It’s a way to be able to relax after a long day. I'm able to go to a place where I know a heart warming family is waiting for me. Home is where I usually spend all of my time. I like being home and just being able to spend time with my family. In a way I consider home a person now that I think of it. It helps me stay calm and focus. I like being home, because at home I know I can just be me. My home is my own world and sometimes only I understand how it works. :)
