 Virtue: Work well in groups (Agreeable)

             Believe it or not, there was a time in my life when I was quite shy. Given the opportunity to engage in straightforward small-talk or sit quietly in silent, cringe agony, I would choose the later without fail. Unfortunately, my Sophomore Biology teacher had other plans for me. She assigned a group project that would result in thirty percent of my final grade. After hearing the names of my groupmates, I slumped into my chair next to the four other awkward teenagers. I pursed my lips in that weird fake smile you make to acknowledge someone’s existence, but to let them know you don’t actually want to talk to them. No one said a word for fifty-five minutes and we went our separate ways at the chime of the bell. When I got home I realized that I only had four more days in class with my group to make or break my final grade. The next day, I decided to be that group member that everyone hates yet weirdly appreciates. I asked everyone’s name, I made some initially awkward small talk to break the ice and build rapport, and I took the liberty of assigning everyone a job. It’s hard to say what made me decide to appoint myself group leader. I just decided. In the end we got an A- on the group project and everyone lived happily ever after.

             Learning that I had the ability to work well in groups was a revelation to me. Little did I know at the time that I would not become a data entry serf working out of a cubicle. Not that I don’t find such a job attractive at times, but my current career path requires I regularly engage with teammates. The ability to work well in groups is useful because it allows me to contribute to a team, ultimately making my life easier by delegating responsibilities. Not to mention, having the ability to work well in a group can also benefit the lives of my teammates. Ensuring everyone pull their own weight will make the team much more effective, which makes everyone’s life a little bit easier, myself included.

Fault: I tend to procrastinate (Conscientiousness) 

           My mother’s antique clock, brought over from the motherland, chimed 12 long, ominous clangs. It was midnight. I stared down at a pile of manila folders and three small tubs of Elmer’s Glue. My best friend Garrett and I squandered the last two weeks in our senior Physics class to build a bridge using only four manila folders. We had 18 drafted ideas we would never be able to pull off and the bridge was due 5th period the next day.  “Let’s go to Safeway and get some caffeine and snacks. We’ll bust this out when we get back,” I had said to Garrett. As you might imagine, I have a bit of a procrastination problem. Luckily for us, we were able to throw together a makeshift bridge and simply coated it with enough Elmer’s Glue to give it the tensile strength of a small condo. However, our victory came at a price. As it turns out, complete sleep deprivation makes for incoherent Socratic seminar contributions in English class. Mrs. Smith, wherever you are, I am sorry for my unintelligible ramblings on that day.

             “Gnōthi seauton,” the Greeks say. “Know thyself.” One thing I have discovered about myself, and the root of my procrastination, is that I have far too many ways to distract myself at home. In high school, if I wasn’t leveling up my undead mage I was long boarding until it was too dark to see. I guess I had soccer practice and a job too, but priorities are priorities. The fact is, I just couldn’t work at home. Early on, I learned that I need to get out of my house if I expect to get any homework done. In high school, that meant staying after school to crank out my assignments. In college it meant walking my lazy behind down to the library and staking out some real estate at a desk for a few hours. Today, it means holing up in a coffee shop on a Sunday. We like to think we work well under pressure, that procrastination is actually some demented gift. The reality is, at least for me, we just need a change in environment.
