When I was a sophomore in college I had to work with a group of five
other people to write a 40ish page paper. We met over several weeks and
it became more and more evident that this group simply didn't have the
dynamic to make it happen. I asked my professor if I could split off
and do it alone. I couldn't. Part of our grade was to see how we could
make group effort work. I did it all. At the time I was bugged that
they all got my 'B' for doing no work, but I got something so much
better. I was the only sophomore that I knew who had written a forty
page paper. From then on, I knew that I could write something of
length. Maybe I should have been able to do that earlier - I have since
met people who did it in high school - but that wasn't the norm. And I
knew that even though I was kind of a slacker, when push came to shove,
I could perform.
That group project was very good for me. Even if I did resent it at the time.
