INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT 1: POSITIVE INTRODUCTION

My name is Isaac kofi kwakye I was born in Accra the capital city of Ghana about twenty seven years ago. I have spent a large part of my age in the capital city although I have travelled around the country while I was still growing up. The desire for my parents to see me achieve a higher height in life led to my early enrollment in pre-school .This marked the beginning of my academic life. My academic life started slowly during high school but gained momentum in my studies which saw me receive some awards in mathematics and geography.A good performance in the final exams in high school translated in me gaining admissions into the premier university of Ghana. That is university of Ghana. I pursued an undergraduate degree in Geography and archaeology which led to the award of a Bachelors of Arts degree with a very good class. This led to the start of my career and experiences.
To start with, during my final year in my undergraduate studies my class undertook a research work on the past and current life ways of a particular ethnic group in Ghana .The idea to conduct this research came with much excitement and enthusiasm since we were going to spend almost three weeks executing this .I worked in a group made of six members. We were tasked to research into the architecture of the area. We had a discussion on the strategy we were to apply, inorder to get sufficient information to enable us solve a research problem.I saw myself Introducing myself to the locals and getting them involved in an interesting discussion.By so doing I was able to gather sufficient information which was very salient for our course. Although, I had not worked much in a team, my ideas and contributions were seen by my team members to be excellent. The final day of the research was marked by a durbar in the community’s assembly hall with a sitting capacity of five hundred people. The assembly hall was almost filled to capacity. This was the

    There was conflict when group members did not show up at group members ans we felt that not everybody was contributing to their best abilities. One group member did not even bother to have a text book and I as a leader made sure she got a copy of the case. It was in the group’s best interest that she be given a copy. Then we met for the first time not everybody had read the case and it was apparent and frustrating. Then we were rushed for time and we met the professor and only two out of five could meet the professor. Then we cracked the case and not all members were present at every meeting. It was hard to work as a team. Then I decided to host two meetings at home and the last one brought us closer together since we shared some snacks and personal…

    The group consisted of three males and one female, one of which seemed overly confident in his knowledge of breach of duty and as such took a stance as the group leader. It was apparent that his presence at the group first group meeting allowed the other three members to relax. However, this also created problems as it seemed that “bad habits developed”5 and these accepted bad behaviours, in particular rearranging meetings or not being productive in meetings that were attended, became “the norm in the group”6. Although I initially thought that the more confident boy in the group had taken it upon himself to become the group leader he continuously missed meetings and seemed disinterested in the work. Without realising I assumed the role of group leader and as a result of the lack of communication among the other members of the group and so I found myself constantly passing on messages and attempting to organise mutually convenient meeting times. I felt that despite my best efforts we had no formality to our meetings and that the majority of the time in the library was spent socialising rather than being productive. In time these bad habits that formed in the initial meeting became more frequent and I found that other members of the group did not take an equal role in researching the…

    It has made me think about how I will work within a team next time, and how I will have to work with people of different professions in my chosen career and this experience has given me a first glance at this. To develop my own academic and professional skills, I have decided to seek volunteer work so I can gain experience and I have also learnt that I enjoy working in a large group of people. Rather than by myself. I will work more openly with my colleagues and peers next time around, by being more confident in my ideas and abilities. Lastly, I think both things will help me make a positive impact to my development in my academic career, and help me later working in health…
