many things but among those lessons I learn to cooperate with others; learn the importance of respecting others: and I learned the joy of the results achieved. While I was practicing in class I noticed that there was one person who surpassed others in skill and agility, but when we all practice together that same person destroyed the entire unit and ruined the group exercise.
