I can do things you
cannot. You can
do things I can’t.
Together we can do
great things.

We had a science project to do. My
group was Jacqueline, Emily and
Raquel. First, we argued on what
project we should so. Then, Raquel
thought of doing something with magnets.
Jacqueline, Emily and I thought
that was a great idea and would get us
a lot of points. We figured out that Emily
is a good writer and she could write
the paragraphs. With Jacqueline’s
artistic skills, she could design the tri
board. With Raquel’s intelligence, she
could think of the hypothesis, conclusion
methods, and the questions. With
my speaking skills, I could explain to
all the guests who came. Since we got
it all worked out, we could now focus
on the project. We got an A+ and came
in third place (which is really good!)

Once, there was a girl named Melanie
who wanted to do a science project.
She had a friend, named Fortune, who
wasn’t so smart. And a friend, named
Raquel, who was extremely smart but
was less friends with her. She decided
to do it with Raquel. Melanie was
a smart girl but she wanted to see
Raquel’s thought before she said hers.
After Raquel said her thought, Melanie
liked them. So, she thought that
she doesn’t need to say hers. Raquel
wanted to hear Melanie’s thought but,
after Melanie said it, Raquel liked
her thoughts. They took a little bit
of Melanie’s ideas and a little bit of
Raquel’s ideas and made it into one
idea. This is using your talents wisely.

There was a girl named Sara who was
the head of the play. Sara needed to
find three more people to be in her
play. Sara didn’t want to pick the popular
girl as the lead role just because
she is pretty. Sara needed to see how
she acts and sings. It turned out that
the popular girl wasn’t a good singer
or actress. When Sara told the popular
girl that she didn’t get the lead, she
was so angry that she said, “If it’s not
me, then who is it? “Miss shy” or “miss
ugly”? Sara gave the shy girl a chance
and she was a fabulous singer. She
just needed to believe in herself. Then,
Sara gave the “miss ugly” a chance and
she was an amazing actress. When
she gave ‘miss popular’ a chance, she
wasn’t good at all at either singing or
acting. So, that shows that Sara didn’t
judge by the looks. She dug deep and
found the inner soul of those 2 girls.

Teamwork: when everyone works together
you can achieve more. Let’s say
you are making your friend a surprise
party. You want to be in charge, take
all responsibility. Only one problem.
You are not an artist. Don’t let your ego
take over. You don’t want to be and do
something you aren’t good at. Let the
master be the pro. You buy the decorations
and let the friend who is responsible
in all ways take charge. Teamwork:
Let it be less of me and more we.
