Reflecting on my Team
One of the most profound experiences I've had in this class is that of working with my team on a weekly basis. The Beehive team is an international powerhouse of up-and-coming talent headed straight for the streets of Mzuzu. We've got Malawians, Koreans, Chinese, and Midwesterners - that's enough cultural diversity to host one of those MIT culture shows that I never go to.
LeAnne is bright and cares about the world immensely. Unfortunately, she can probably beat me at any sport that exists. The other day, she got out of her chair to go to the bathroom and I flinched because I thought she was going to hit me. I took some karate when I was in middle school so I could probably take her out, but I just didn't want her to get first-punch. Wouldn't be fair.
Paul is half-human, half-robot, and 100% awesome. Nobody knows if his human half built his robot-half or the other way around, but its clear that he is a self-made success story. Scholars disagree on whether he is more like Iron Man or Robocop and the debate is unlikely to be settled soon. Sort of like defining the best metric for project success. Paul has spear-headed the technical side of the project and no one could be more qualified: you learn a lot about technology when you have to debug your own respiratory system.
Christina is really cool, too. When she doesn't stumble into our meetings drunk, that is. Nah, in all seriousness, her regular substance abuse has been a real asset for the team. For every time she has passed out during a brain-storming session, she has provided brilliant LSD-induced insight that has really moved the team forward.
