Reflection Essay

Throughout this class I was never one of the social people, I didn’t raise my hand or answer any questions really. That’s just how I have always been, I always feel like what I have to say is wrong so I would just never answer and just listen instead. When you said we would be doing a group project that meant that I would have to be working with people that I didn’t know. Its not that I am against group projects I think they can be fun if they are over something the whole group likes. Before we were put into groups we had an essay that we wrote over a UK club/activity. I wrote my paper over the club volleyball team, mostly because sports are important to me and I miss being involved with an activity.

            When we were placed into groups I didn’t know anyone, but I am a social person in general so I didn’t have a hard time talking to my group members and trying to figure out what we were going to be talking about. We decided to go with Haggin hall and I was completely fine with that because I thought that it could be funny and be something everyone would like. Honestly the group member who thought of this was the one who really did the project in a sense because haggin is an all boy dorm which made it hard for any of us girls to go in there because you need to be checked in and you can have so many guests and such. Anyways, I didn’t completely like how our video went because we weren’t really involved, I have a very busy schedule and I knew that it would be hard for me to do things, but I said anything I could help with I would on my own time. I was in charge of getting a recording of my grandfather who went to Kentucky back in the 60’s and I worked really hard on getting that because I had to drive back home since over the phone didn’t sound well. I took the time and gas money to drive 3 hours and then the recording was not even used. That did upset me, and I would’ve added it if I could, but I am so horrible with technology let alone editing videos.

            As a whole, my project went well, I don’t think that people worked as hard as we could’ve, but I take blame for not making more of an effort.
