Working on my Own!

 I plan to work on my own for the movie project because I feel I work better on my own rather than in a group. When working in a group it can be very nerving because you have to worry if your groupmate will fulfill their side of the project.  I choose to work on my own for this blog because I am not very familiar with my classmates as of right now. In addition, I'm very to myself unless I'm with close friends. I wouldn't say I find it difficult to meet and get along with new people it just forces me to step outside of a box where I am most comfortable. When working with others even though I might come across as quiet I tend to make lots of final decisions so in the end me and partner(s) don't fail. However if one of my friends happened to be in my class I would probably still be working on my own for this blog the fact that I work better on my own. I tend to be very indecisive when making any type of decisions whether they are what cereal I might eat in the morning or choosing which colleges a plan to apply to, this isn't the ideal characteristic most want when looking for a partner. Therefore working alone is the best option for me. While writing this blog is a little difficult considering I must write 20 sentences about why I choose to write alone I am finding more and more reasons as to why I would rather work by myself. Say I wasn't working on my own another person's grade would be my responsibility. Not just this one blog grade because if we failed it would bring down her class grade which brings down their grade point average which could lower that person's chances on college, joining a club or sport or it could disappoint them and their parents. I definitely don't want to the cause of that because the opposite could happen to me if they didn't do their part pertaining to the assignment. One might call me an overthinker when it comes to working with another person but I think the opposite. Last year because of Covid-19 my self standards dropped because I felt trapped and overwhelmed with the new way of life we were all forced into, now that we are back in school I have started to focus more on school and try to get into the routine of doing a turning in assignments on time. I am very grateful that none of my teachers have assigned any group work yet this year because I'm not sure I'm ready for the amount of responsibility that comes with a group project or any group work as of yet. Working on my own for this assignment specifically has given me a new sense of self when it comes to my work ethic and focuses. I'm honestly very tempted to turn my assignment in with only 15 sentences because now it's getting difficult to come up with things to say about myself. Media studies has made it easy to fulfill a word count of something I might not be 100% interested in. For example, in my eng lang class, we wrote an essay on how to make a sandwich and it had to be 4 main paragraphs, an intro, and a conclusion. Writing that essay was easier because I've taught myself to speak about every possible detail when trying to meet a word count when writing about something so tedious or small. Finally the final sentence I've written 20 sentences about why I choose to do this assignment on my own.
