At the start of my research project, I felt completely lost! I had this thought deep down inside me of fear. Fear of me not going to meet the deadline, what am going to research on, it was going be difficult for me in compiling my sources and most of all fear of making mistakes or doing the wrong thing. But all those feelings, and thoughts were all for nothing. I was joined by 2 of my class mates Florence Jossy and Zahedul Islam to work on our research project, something I have never done before. At the beginning, we struggled with finding our topic, we argued on what our thesis statement should look like and what question we as a team should answer.
With the guidance of our amazing instructor Sabatino, we established our identity and begun to work on our project. A thesis topic and a question were agreed upon and we started to work. We worked tirelessly to produce our first draft; it wasn’t easy as we thought it would have been. We spent hours together working, texting and calling each other to make sure we complete our first draft and for us to meet the deadline and we were successful in meeting our benchmark for the project. To my group members Florence Jossy and Zahedul Islam, let me use this medium to express my gratitude and appreciation to you guys for co-authoring with me. It was awesome working with you guys especially with times that we disagreed on issues and views, we came together and found common ground as a group to move our project forward. We contributed our individual skills, experiences and cultures to our work. I learned a lot from both of you and I have developed a different mind set when it comes to co-authoring. I have become more open and ready to share my ideas in co-authoring any project in respective of the persons or groups involves. Let’s go into the world and make meaning.
