While working on this group project I realized just how hard it is to work with a large group of people. While it makes the work load sometimes easier, collaborating with others and coming to an agreement on certain things can be challenging. The more people there are to work with, the more difficult it gets. The hardest part we discovered was trying to find a mutual time for everyone to meet. This was the biggest challenge we found. I learned a great deal during this assignment. I learned about firms and some of what it takes to run one and who is involved. I learned and witnessed how people come together to get things done and how there will almost always be the handful that run and do nothing.

Overall I enjoyed working on this and being a part of the team I was on. It was a great experience and I wish those from our team going to Chicago to present it the best of luck!
