All the Little Details
Talking about being a good leader and actually carrying out all the duties and responsibilities of a good leader are two totally different things. Saying "let's meet once a week" is easy. Actually finding a time that works for everyone is like trying to fit a square piece into a circular puzzle. I also discovered that it's not so easy working with more people because I can no longer confine all the work to my room. With more people, we need more space, and finding such a space is a chore that I can't always complete. I discovered that the person who manages facility reservations for Wade doesn't work on the weekends. This means that my request for a room on Tuesday may not go through, but I won't know the outcome until Monday afternoon, when it will most likely be too late. All the other little details like making sure everyone's on the same page with reading and creating a friendly atmostphere are like million-dollar diamonds: They are beautiful in concept, yet almost impossibly difficult to make.

Although I am not one of your team members, I knew you have been working so hard. I understand your situation because I am international student too. I afraid of taking challenge sometimes, but you instead take this opportunity to build yourself with leadership. Everyone should really work together in a team, because without everyone putting efforts in it, the team would not work and function well.
