One person that I’d absolutely love to study and work with is my old college mate Bobby. I’ve known her since uni, though we?lost contact over the years?because she moved to another country and life got in the way?for both of us. Despite this, I always?remember fondly?the days when we used to hang out and do group assignment?together.

?

So back in uni, there were a lot of overlaps between?the courses?we?took, and we would always find each other to be?teammates in group projects. Over the years, we’d done countless?projects together, ranging from group presentation?to student films. Every time, we would?come through with flying colors, which I think, can be partly attributed to?the fact that we complement?each other so well.

?

People would look at us and wonder why on earth we were friends: Bobby and I were like chalk and cheese. She’s always charismatic, with?a wry sense of humor?while?I used to be really quiet and straightforward. But I think the difference is the exact reason why we made such?a great team.

?

For example, when we brainstorm, she’s the one to come up with innovative, grand ideas?while my no-nonsense practicality kept her grounded?from time to time. On the other hand, when my detail-oriented?mind got stuck in the tunnel vision, she could always remind me to look at the bigger picture?from a more?holistic perspective.?

?

Most importantly, I think deep down?we are both empathetic individuals who’s willing to listen to, respect and consider each other’s opinions. Put together, I think those are the main reasons why teamwork with her felt so enlightening and enjoyable at the same time.?
