Civic Lieracy & EngagementOne of the things that we had to do this quarter in Community Engagement / Sophomore Seminar is create a project that will benefit the school. This project has mostly developed my interpersonal skills. I took on leadership of our group and have managed our sophmore seminar project. In this role, I've set up a plan every week for what needs to be done and then split up the work between my groupmates and I. Throughout this, I've tried to give everyone tasks that best fit their skills so that they're more motivated to work on our project. The thing that I'm most proud of about this project is that, out of two other projects in my class, this is the only project that was green lit. Because of this, we got work on our project while everyone else in the class had to paint benches in the parks.
