"I could name a million things that I love about Wharton - the classes, the people, the clubs, everything. But one month into the fall semester, I have to say that I love my Management 100 team best of all. Management 100 is Wharton&amp;#039;s freshman rite of passage. Freshmen are divided into teams of nine or ten and partner with local non-profit organizations to complete a project over the course of fall semester. It could mean throwing a benefit concert to raise money for a homeless shelter, or putting together a curriculum about financial literacy for inner-city schools. When I first met my team during New Student Orientation, I was a little apprehensive. We were all so different. There was Amelia, who had taken a gap year between high school and college to work for City Year in Los Angeles. There was Ben, fresh off the plane from Australia. And I (a complete girly-girl) was sure that I would have nothing in common with Zac and Brandon, two enormous football players. I remember the same question racing through my mind again and again -- how would we all work together? However, the past few weeks have shown me that not only is it possible to get along with a diverse group, but the diversity is what keeps it interesting. As we&amp;#039;ve gone through scavenger hunts, business venture pitches and artic survival simulations together, I can&amp;#039;t help but feel that I&amp;#039;ve gained an incredible amount of knowledge, and I&amp;#039;m having a lot of fun with the team, even outside of class. Last week, our team received our project - the American Red Cross. We are expected to put together a presentation on fire safety for elementary school students and deliver it to at least 800 students. Of course, Team Stop, Drop and Roll (that&amp;#039;s our team name - isn&amp;#039;t it cute?) never settles for just what is expected. So watch out in the coming weeks for my updates, and don&amp;#039;t say that I didn&amp;#039;t warn you when I&amp;#039;m tearing out my hair at four in the morning preparing a presentation. I can&amp;#039;t wait! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
