Describe how you work in a team.
I like to listen to what my teammates have to say but I also like to talk. I love encouraging because I feel like if I encourage everyone they will remember me, and also encourage me to be who I am. Sometimes I get really distracted and start laughing and making jokes and I try to breathe and think about my time and that I have to be focused. I am really kind so every time there is someone being left out I encourage to join in and try to not have anyone feel left out.
