This week my group discussed the three main project ideas that we want to expand on in the coming weeks. We came to these decisions pretty easily, and it is really refreshing to have a group that thinks similarly to one another and is all interested in pretty similar things. The three ideas we came up with are either working with MASA, Big Brothers Big Sister or a project on the health benefits and cost-effective ideas for eating vegan/vegetarian meals. I really like all of these ideas and I think that all of them touch on important subjects and can be really informative in their own ways.
In terms of how our group can be successful this semester, I think that communication and delegation of work is a really important thing. One person definitely cannot do this project on their own, and the fact that we all have varied skills and have already gotten an idea of the different tasks that each one of us would be best at doing is definitely a good sign. I think that as long as our group takes responsibility for the specific things they are tasked with and shows dedication towards the project, we will be successful. Personally, I think that one thing I need to work on this semester in order to help my group succeed would be to come out of my comfort zone and speak up in the group. I am an introvert, which can sometimes make it hard for me to voice my opinions on things, whether that be an idea I may have or constructive criticism.
