GROUP EXPERIENCE

Working in a group can help a person bring out their inner side with out even noticing them. I like working in a group but it takes time for me to adjust to it. Therefore it becomes tough sometime. I feel uncomfortable at the fact that I have to share my thoughts and feelings to people and what might they think. Will they understand what I mean or not, because I would not want them to misunderstand me. Like this there were many questions in my head and as a result I was very uncomfortable to work in a group and as well as express myself to in it.
So, when Prof. William first notified the class about group work and how we will do our final paper with in a group I was worried. Did not know what to do and how will I tackle this situation. As far as I remember I failed to get many jobs due to group interviews. I used to be well prepared, practiced interview question couple of time with friends and then in my head. Once I see that the interview will be in a group I would panic and go blank. There fore when the professor declared the project I started panicking due to my past experience. I believe it was not only me because the professor then told the class how it will be easy and he gave us different ways to get in to a group like writing about the type of people that I will fell comfortable. How we should approach each other etc. Once I was put in to a group I noticed that following his technique helped me a lot to open up. Not only that my group members were help full as well. But the question was will I still be able to do the same with people that are my competition.
Yes, why not; was the answer at the end of the day. I learned that no matter where you at and who you with as long as you make the group members your friend and feel that you should share with them no matter how they take it cause you can not judge a person just by looking at them. They might or they might not look at you different. If you do not give them a chance then you will never know. I got this answer by working in the present group. I saw every body was sharing their thoughts, moments, etc. and we were like a family tried making each other comfortable and help each other and I came out of my fear and started talking which made me feel much better. Now I am confident to share with new people and make friends out of them. This will help me in the future in my group interviews not only that if we have meetings at work I wont have to be left out I could also put my two sense in.
