Positive Learner Identity

Doing hands-on activities 

Core Competency Reflection

 I can identify ways in which my strengths can help me meet challenges, and how my challenges can be opportunities for growth. I am using this picture because this semester I rebuilt it. I took it all apart while taking many measurements and then I put the whole engine back together. I fixed and rebuilt many things this semester in auto but I choose rebuilding this Honda engine. rebuilding this engine shows my strength of loving hands on activities and how hard I work when I get given hands on tasks.

Doing hands-on activities

I choose this picture because I love doing hands on activities in my free time. This picture is one of the examples of why I love hands on activities. This Charger was sitting in my Nonna’s garage alongside with a corvette stingray but me and my uncle already fixed that one up. I took this picture when me and my uncle were cleaning out the garage and getting ready to fix the car. The charger has been sitting for over 20 years so we had to move a lot of stuff around and had to deal with a lot of spiders. In this picture it shows the floor jack under the car. I learned how to use a floor jack in my automotive classes at the school and I also learned from those classes where the best jack points are to jack the car up safely so you wont damage the car. So after we get the charger out of the garage we are going to rebuild the engine and repaint the car.

My strengths can help me meet my challenges because I keep on trying and don’t give up. Some people when they face a challenge they just give up but I don’t do that. Because I don’t give up and stay committed when a challenge gets in my way it gives me more opportunities for growth.

I usually use this strength in my auto or metal class but in this old picture of me I was just changing the battery for my mom.

Core Competency Reflection

This strength will help me in the future to be a heavy duty mechanic or a tow truck driver. It will help me because I will know how to fix things and solve problems.
