Example

I just finished my post graduation degree in Microbiology , and most of my classes during my final year involved teamwork. I tried to step up as a leader whenever possible, because it allowed me to develop skills in communication, delegation, and managing multiple tasks and deadlines. In our class, we were broken off into teams of four and had to complete a large project throughout the entire semester. Our team collaborated and after thorough discussion decided to work on “Human Cloning: A better you”. My team ended up getting the highest grade in the class because I set a schedule early in the project and delegated tasks to people based on their strengths. I also took advise from expert professors for the betterment of the project completion. I enjoy leading and delegating, and I hope to continue leading in my professional career now.
