Hello,

Midnight was approaching and the list of groups for my ASTRO 1105 final research project will be posted online. Finally, the clock struck twelve. In awe, I gazed at the computer screen: Bryan, and Abhiram. Two people I was least acquainted with in the class, and I had to work with them.
I never relish the thought of group projects. I experienced many instances at school where I had taken on the burden of the entire assignment. This was no exception. However, this six-week summer program provided limited time for me to take on the assignment by myself. It was time to pull the group, collectively, together.
I took on a - not to be pretentious - leadership position. I emailed Bryan and Abhiram the outline of the research project on Eta Carinae. I told them I was doing the introduction, and the before-after observations of the stellar outburst; they had to do fluctuations in luminosity and the application to light blue variable stars. I recognized the importance of teamwork and I didn't coerce Bryan and Abhiram into doing the work. Instead, I explained to them the significance of this project and the looming deadline; we had to work as a team to achieve the best mark.
Two days later, I received a very pleasant email. It was from Bryan. It was a research paper on the application of Eta Carinae to the LBV star! A few days later, Abhiram's part followed. Immediately, we cross-edited each other's paper. Then, I complied the parts. However, the conclusion was not completed yet. It was no surprise that we did it together.
