Thinking+interdependently

While I was hiking through the Rockies, my friend Willie Unsoeld told me "//No one must feel alon, cut off, for that is when you do not make it//."
I replied: "You said it, man"

No one, no matter in which kind of situation-- could be war, business project, a basketball game, or something as common as experimenting in your chemistry class-- should feel as if he or she is not part of the group. We are there for each other, and knowing that is vital to a group work. Forming a group work simply means that we can apply and share all the knowledges from each individual group member for a certain subject matter. Everyone must contribute to the work and every each one of the members **does** have something to contribute; it is not something we are born with, but developed through our lives. There is always something that one can contribute to the work that is distinct and unique from everyone else. While working on my group experiment on "how much rust can sodas remove", our group decided that we should split the group work as evenly as possible so every each one of us can the right contribution. Our experimental process consists of 3 major phases, the actual experiment, the videotaping of the experiment, and the editing process of the final production. Since Kevin volunteered to do most of the lab procedures; i initially thought it was due to the fact that he's not familiar with imovies so he took part more in the experiment(however, i found out that Kevin is good with the macbook, which maybe i can apply to responding with awe) Isabelle on the other hand, both filmed and edited the video. Because Isabelle is relatively specialized at operating iMovie, she contributed most of her work into this area. I played the role of a "floater", I worked in fragmented amount in each phase. There was a moment when our group was watching the production we made so far, I suggested that instead of showing only one single footage while running different steps of the experiments at the bottom of the screen as subtitles, we should show each individual footage that corresponds to the steps running in the bottom. So Isabelle, our chief technician, agreed to it and started making changes to the video. After the experimental process, Kevin recorded the results on a table while Isabelle calculated the percent change. Later, Isabelle took Kevin's datas and transferred them onto the computer and sent it to me so I could generate the graphs. Personally, I think we worked well as a group because we knew each other and understands each other's strength. All of us contributes and listens to each other's opinions;every each one of us was willing to provide opinions and give advices on how to make the lab work smoother.
