My interpersonal skills improved with this assignment because, as an introvert, it showed me that working with other people isn't as scary as it seems and can make things more efficient and even fun.

The most difficult part of completing this task was working through the brain teasers and thinking outside the box with a partner.

There isn't much my partner and I could've done differently, and we ended up working well together.
How does this relate to what you have learned in the past?
This experience relates to past partner projects I've done and instances where I've had to think quickly.
How can you apply this to future learning?
I can apply this experience to future learning by remembering the moment and reminding myself that working with others is not so bad.
