What? So what? Now What?

During the community service event, I was placed with a group of students also in research groups. We did community building activities together. For every activity we completed, we received a bike part that we used to put together a bike. We learned how to work together in a group, in both our activities and in putting the bike together. I learned how the different parts of a bicycle comes together, and I also learned about new and interesting things about the rest of my team members. I liked that we worked together because we were aiming for a common goal: to build a bike. It reminded me of how people at work normally would work together, like at a research job. The experience was different from what I expected. I expected to build a bike from scratch, first of all, and I didn't expect that our groups would be smaller. Smaller groups allowed for more interaction among all of us. If I could do the group activity again, I would have helped out with constructing the bicycle more, since I was also partially involved with the chicken toss.
