Ricky and I collaborated and brainstormed to come up with strong ideas that we agreed on. We thought hard and pitched ideas then worked together to improve, combine, and finally come up with our research topic. Eventually with our 4 companies, that fit each business model, we divided and conquered each one until we were done.

Creative Thinking, I can form new ideas to create new things. I can also build on the ideas of others
I showed this during the ‘Market Structures Company Profiles’ project when my group was brainstorming topics. I used creative thinking to build off of my peers’ ideas to create a stronger idea, and they helped by building off my ideas until we came to an idea we were all proud of.

Law Deserted Island Project

Core Competency Goals

Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle include setting and maintaining a better sleep schedule.

I show that I value feedback from others in my group by listening and collaborating with everyones ideas. I demonstrated this in my Psychology 12 class when members of my group suggested ideas and I helped build off of them with other ideas to create the best solution to our problems. But I can always work on improving this skill.

My next goal is a Personal Awareness one, I will try to eat healthier
