Collaboration Prompt

If the group is not getting things done, we can have a time to brainstorm in order to get things moving in the right direction. This means we focus on new ideas in an organized way, making sure everyone gets a chance to share.

Creative Thinking Prompt

When it seems the good ideas just won’t come to me, I put myself in a creative or inspirational activity, such as listening to music or reading a book, to help myself create space in my mind to invite fresh perspectives and imaginative thoughts.

Personal Awareness and Responsibility Prompt

When I am sad, angry, or frustrated, engaging in physical activities help me calm down. I practice this by going to the gym or doing a home work out. Working out allows me to transition my negative thought into positive thoughts. Once I am done, I can regain control over my emotions and focus on my awaiting tasks.

A goal I have for myself to move forward

I would like to make an effort to improve including my voice and perspective in group discussions. I will start by building confidence in expressing my thoughts. I will practice this by sharing to a smaller group to overcome my fear of public speaking. Slowly I will be able to speak my thought to a larger group and participate in group discussions.

Calculations

3 year 4.2% non-redeemable GIC

  1. 80,000 x 1.042 = 83360
  2. 83,360 x 1.042 = 86,861.12
  3. 86,861.12 x 1.042 = 90,509.29
  4. 3rd year of GIC = 90,509.29
  5. 3 years total savings = 30,000 (10,000+10,000+10,000)
  6. 90,509.29 + 30,000 = 120,509.29

Grand Total = 120,509.29

Core Competency Reflection

Reflection ( Collaboration and Contribution )

I missed a few classes, so I couldn’t participate with my partner much in this assignment. She did an amazing job without me and helped me a lot with the work I missed. I think I helped with doing some of the calculations, and also help my partner understand some of the concepts of this project when she needed help. There was a part where we struggled, and we did not hesitate to ask for help and understand the confusing parts. I would rate my collaboration abilities a 2/4, because I missed a few classes and wasn’t able to participate in this activity fully.

Justification

We did not use the 1 year annual GIC because if we did, we wouldn’t have been able to reach our final goal of 120,000. We did not invest in stocks because we did not want to take the risk of losing money. Our final decision was to stick with the 3 year 4.2% non-redeemable GIC because our calculations proved that this would make us reach our goal of 120,000 in 3 years. Turns out it did!

Core Competency Reflection

  

What was something you learned that you didn’t know or consider before?  

In this unit I learned how to perform the proper steps of CPR, and how to react and handle a emergency situation.

What is a key takeaway from the Theory or Practical CPR unit?  

One of the skills this unit taught is the way to perform CPR to an Infant. I have to perform CPR with two fingers because the they are small, have soft bones and is easier to reach the heart.

How does this unit connect to the nutrition unit learned previously?  

Nutrition and the diet you are on affects the condition of your body. Not getting enough could weaken your body and causes health problems that could lead to heart attacks, and strokes.
