I'm in Paleontology this week, so I get to help with prepping my fossils :)
If you were to listen in on Entomology, you'd probably hear nothing. In Paleontology, probably a mini Jigsaw or a hacksaw. In Education, a printer or a conversation. Just because you might not hear someone talking doesn't mean that they don't communicate with each other on important things. Everyone has to be on the same page in order for things to work. Communication is key to a efficient working environment and life. And you don't want to be the person who never talks to their coworkers and therefore isolates themselves. That's not fun :(
Self-advocacy and asking questions is also very important. No one knows what your skills are unless you tell them or show them. You're never going to improve unless you ask for harder things out of your comfort zone. Like, I'm not too comfortable managing a classroom full of kids but I pushed myself to work with them. I observed how other people acted with them and tried to do the same. Asking questions if you're never not sure about something or just curious isn't a bad thing. For example, when I was sorting arthropods I came across several that I didn't recognize. Well, I asked for help and my mentor showed me what characteristics to look out for. I mean, what's the worst that could happen?
