I have no background in Economics and it was quite new for me. I had to work extra hard to bridge the gap. I met my classfellows outside the classes, discussed their routines, study patterns, strengths and weaknesses. This way i was able to offer them help in my strong areas and vice versa. This practice not only develope team work in us but also we built a strong bond of mutual care and respect.
Teamwork
At the Robotic Research Lab, I developed teamwork skills by collaborating on projects, sharing tasks, and aligning goals. This experience taught me to work efficiently, respect diverse views, and achieve shared objectives.
Teamwork
As group work activities increased after entering high school, I was able to enhance my teamwork skills, and improve my collaborative skills with others.
Teamwork
I aquired multi-tasking from my club. Since we have our first ever tournament, club tends to get quite busy and I think I started to balance my schoolwork and that naturally as time went on.
Multitasking
Me and my team were working on a project until they broke apart. Then, I eased the tension and gave good reasons why that was dumb, and then we united hence I believe Im good at teamwork
Teamwork
Communicating with other students at the university.
Empathy
I published paper with my teammates.
Resilience
During the Covid pandemic, I was the member secretary to the District Covid Taskforce. I was heading a small secretariat group working on the formulation of contingency plans, situational documentation, etc. That was the moment I feel we had the greatest teamwork which made things go smoothly.
Teamwork
I think the second greatest degree is Teamwork. Now, I am living in BKC I-house and there are a lot of events here. Therefore, it requires to work together and understand each other. For example, there is a winter party today. Some I-house residents including me are asked to cook food or dessert from our own country. Thus, we discuss and help each other to conduct this event. Besides, we also discuss with each other about the next event and so on.
