Part I — My post
One part of SOLE that helped me grow as a leader is self-organization (when the group decides roles and plans the work). Practicing self-organization taught me how to divide tasks, make a simple schedule, and check in with teammates without bossing them. It made me better at listening, explaining ideas clearly, and solving small problems fast.
How it helped me understand myself: I learned I’m good at planning and calming people down, but I also saw I can get impatient when things fall behind. Knowing that helped me practice being more patient and asking for help instead of doing everything.
Real example: In my science class, my group had to build a model bridge. I suggested we split jobs (design, materials, building, presentation) and made a two-week checklist. One teammate missed work the first week, so I talked with them, moved some tasks around, and offered to help with the build. We finished on time and got an A. After that project I felt more confident leading and learned to trust others.

I liked how you said the big question keeps everyone focused. I agree — when we did a history project, our main question helped us pick what sources to use. Maybe next time we can write the question on the board so we don’t forget it.

Your point about reflection is great. After my bridge project I asked the group what went well and what to change. That short talk helped us do better next time. Have you tried a quick “what worked/what didn’t” at the end of a project? It really helps.
