My Group Experience

Even though we did not meet many times, this group experience has support my idea that everyone is different in many ways. One would find these differences by actually meeting, talking, and engaging in a relationship. For this group project, I was assigned to work with Carlos, Alma, and Javier.

I believe that the first impression is significant. Before knowing anything about Carlos, the first thing that passed through my mind was that he looked like a Mexican-American student because of his physical appearance: dark hair, dark mustache, brown skin, and an English accent. I also noticed that he liked football because he was wearing a football jacket from Moreno Valley High School Football Team. While he was introducing himself to the group, I found out that we had graduated from the same high school. I also learned that this is his second year in RCC. Carlos is a first generation student who has plans to transfer to a four-year institution. I would rate him as an extroverted person; he looks serious but as we kept talking he became more confident.
