If there is disagreement within the group, I will...
If a disagreement does occur, I usually find myself just starring at everyone with my mouth shut, waiting for everyone else to come to an agreement. Of course, that never ends up happening and things get awkward. I want to change myself so that I can be of help somehow. I don’t know why but I think I avoid saying anything because I hate or am scared of getting involved and getting on someone’s bad side if I do say something. So, my goal is to speak up and try and be of help to finding a solution. I plan by doing that by suggesting hearing out each other’s opinions and sharing what we agree on and disagree on and hopefully everyone sorts things out and comes to an agreement.
When I need to re-focus, I…
When I am distracted, it’s usually because of something that is in my hand or something on my desk. I tend to fidget a lot in class and then, in the end I have no idea what to do when given an assignment or worksheet to do. So, to improve my learning and focus in class I have decided to clear my desk. I know that it seems super simple but to me, it isn’t. Fidgeting with something is hard for me to not do. If there is nothing on my table, I have the urge to put something on it just because I hate how plain – looking my desk looks with nothing on it. And if there is something like a water bottle or pencil I either end up drinking too much water even if I’m not thirsty, or I draw on paper, chairs, or desks. By the end of this year, I hope to not be distracted in class, as well as not fidgeting with anything.
What helps you get new ideas?
I find that a lot of my ideas come from others. I often feel influenced by others because I like their ideas. I remember a lot of times when I got my ideas from others but making my own are difficult. It isn’t because I don’t try. I don’t copy other people’s ideas exact though; I like to change them to fit into my own style, so it doesn’t seem like I’m copying. There are also times when my own ideas come to me as well, but even then, I like to add other people’s ideas to mine to make them “better”.
