Project Partner
Today in British literature we got a paper on a project that we are doing. Each person got a partner for the project. They were picked by Sis. Holly drawing names out of a bowl. I was the last name drawn. And my partner...Gabe. Not gonna lie; I was kind of upset that I got Gabe. Then I thought that this could be a great opportunity to learn how to work with people. We had a little disagreement already because we did not agree on what topic we wanted to do. There was a list and every team had to pick from that list, no duplicate topics. All we had left was an author and two other topics on general themes. Before I even knew my partner I knew I wanted to do an author and not a general theme. By the time that Gabe and I were able to pick there was only one author left. When Sis. Holly asked which topic we want i immediately called out the Author. Gabe said no. i strongly told him that I will only do an Author and not the other two. I didn't care which author we did, if we would have been chosen earlier he could have picked the author. However, since there was only one left I had to put my foot down. Do you think I was too harsh and should have listened to him more or is what I did okay?

Jeremy I actually blogged about this this week and I feel that you did the right thing, lets be honest you are going to do about 90% of the work for this project so why not pick a topic that you are going to be able to do, and on top of that I respect that even though you are in a very unfortunate situation you are trying to look for a place of improvement. You are a good guy Jeremy and that is a quality that you should never drop.
ReplyDeleteI like how you shut your partner down when he tried to pick the topic. I agree with Justin, if you're going to do a majority of the work, you might as well choose the best topic. I hope your project isn't too much trouble.
