on his own, said, “You could do it if a friend or partner is helping you.” Sam, who had
previously been retained, wrote, “Yo aprendi que trabajando en equipo podemos resolver
probroblemas con las ideas de todos.” (I learned that working in a group we are able to solve
the problems with the ideas of everyone.)
