Importance of growing with a community
In the last year, I have been able to work as part of Curious Community-a community that unites like-minded individuals to reach a common goal. Currently, we are working on a product that makes it possible for mentors and mentees to be connected in one platform to facilitate the sharing of knowledge, so people can work together on various projects.
Being part of the community has been transformative. Along the way, I have learned much, but these key takeaways are evident,
- Partnership Steers Growth:
Partnering with people having similar goals enlarges your knowledge about things that cannot be accomplished through you alone. As I interact with others within communities, I have learned how to handle many challenges through collaborative problem-solving apart from acquiring technical competencies. - Diverse Perspectives Embrace Innovations:
A community is a group where people with different backgrounds come to share their unique perceptions and experiences. Such diversity opened my mind to more approaches that can help me be creative and objective thinkers. - Accountability and Motivation:
Being part of a community allows you to feel responsible. You tend to want to do more and be more consistent toward common goals when there are others around you. It keeps you on track to do what you are supposed to when learning a new skill or working on a project-whether it is in a class situation, business, or other activities.
The journey brings it back to how growing up with a community is not just merely the knowledge acquired but also the growth of human beings. With all these things comes the enrichment of the journey through connections, problems solved together, and support to each other.
