"Curious Travelers" Group Reflection

At the beginning of the semester, in my “Journey in Literature” class we were assigned into small groups with classmates whom we would work together until the end of the course. From that moment a new external journey had begun for me. As my classmates and I chose our group name, we got to know a little about each other … finding out we were all studying natural sciences! For, we decided to name ourselves after Curious Travelers. Given that all science mainly begins with curiosity, it involves the willing to discover while moving through our own journeys. 

We also had our different roles; mine was the task manager. I was in charge for tasks being done and in the right timing. Personally I really liked our group’s dynamic, since we worked all together and most of our writing compositions turned out to be quite fluent by combining all ideas as a final one; I felt as if we were connected! I must admit that this group experience gave me a lot to learn as for my internal journey, and external journey in terms of communication and expression. Since I can consider myself as being introspective most of the time, I had an opportunity of meeting people and sharing my thoughts with them. Now, I know I must expand my journey’s barriers, because if I do so, I’ll receive more of these great experiences, which will lead me to the path to success in life. I believe we had a great interaction as a group. I must highlight that it was very interesting, that from such a big group we were all put together. 

Among our various works and presentations are the analysis about our Puerto Rican identity, Jamaica Kincaid and Carl Yung's book of dreams. For these we worked together in reading the text and expressing our thoughts, which were then written and combined to be presented in class. Throughout this process we overcame our difficulties, and each one of us realized our different tasks. I would like to add that I have enjoyed reading my group members' personal blogs in which they have done their own analysis of these and many aspects discussed in class. I invite you to visit their blogs; in continuation,I leave you a link to their amazing blogs!
