"There was a major group project due, and everyone was putting in overtime. The work was easy for me, and I kept finishing my tasks early. I stopped asking my supervisors for more work and just jumped to where I felt I was needed. I worked with every member of the team and with each task. Others on my team also jumped to where they felt they were needed. I guess I led by example. The collaboration and how everyone went above and beyond to help each other out, wow! That was great."
