Who’s your study buddy?
From grade school to graduate school, I was always the person everyone wanted to partner with for group projects. For all the reasons you might suspect: they knew I would do the project and they would get an A.
But then came high school physics class. I always liked physics and was quite adept at theory, but I was chronically terrible at algebra. And there is A LOT of algebra in physics.
Luckily, I was seated next to this kind, patient math nerd named Melissa, who was the only reason I passed. She helped me as I fumbled through homework, and she partnered with me on all our class projects.
The final test was a class field trip to Six Flags Great America—a 2-hour bus ride away—where we calculated the physics of six roller coasters. She had the baseline equations already worked out by the time we got to the theme park.
Whenever I have the joy of speaking with J2 architects or technical leads, I am reminded of Melissa; the intelligence, the patience, the kindness, and the “showing up to the starting line with the project 60% done” level of initiative is unparalleled!
Be sure to pick J2 for your next group project!
