This work shows that I could sometimes expand on my writing to explain more of what I mean. I am trying to learn how to expand my thoughts and explain better. What I think is good writing in this is my ending sentences. I feel like I summed up my writing well and had good a conclusion.
Core Competency Self Reflection
Writing for me is difficult. I find it hard to figure out what I want to say and then write it down. I tend to only write when I need to, like in school. I find most types of writing hard. If it’s answering questions or making my own story, I usually struggle.
When I work with peers I am able to express my ideas and made suggestions for how out interview should be structured.
For the interview project, I made suggestions for the order that the questions could go in, but I was open to others points of view and opinions. I did my share of the work and put in effort to communicate to others. I also spent time researching and shared my findings with my group members
I can get new ideas in areas which I have an interest and build my skills to make them work
During the Micro Painting project I did this “I can” statement by getting many different ideas on what to paint. I only had enough time to complete one full one and part of another. I had an interest in this because I enjoy painting and I thought this assignment was fun to do.
I figured out what the avatar for Ms. Drical would look like from the descriptors of Peter. Since he has red hair, she probably does too. I gave her an upset look because she is upset at Cole for what he did to her son.
I chose the plot points because I think they represent multiple characters well.
The setting is important to a story because it gives more detail and information on what is happening and makes you feel more connected with the story and characters.
Mood sets the tone. With the right music, it will change how you feel about what’s happening. we chose a piece of suspenseful and darker music to make you feel how Peter might feel.
Core Competency Reflection
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus I take a walk and get some water.
In discussions and conversations, I help to build and extend understanding by asking questions and sharing my thoughts.
I respectfully advocate for my needs by taking breaks when needed so I don’t get too overwhelmed or stressed
The 3-year GIC works best for me because by the end of the three years I will have $120,509 which is more than enough money that is needed. This plan is also the safest because it is guaranteed to make you money.
Collaborations and Contributions
I found working with my group difficult. It was difficult for me because I have a really hard time working with others as I can never seem to help enough or speak up.
I did not have many contributions to the group. I didn’t start even sitting with them until about the second last day. I wanted to help but I just didn’t know how.
I do not remember what my group’s solutions to this were.
On a scale of 1-4, I was a one. I couldn’t do anything to help them and it took me until about the last day to finally slightly understand what was going on.
Core Competency Reflections
I can recognize my emotions and use strategies to manage them. An example of me managing my emotions was when I started trying to work with my group. I tried to control my anxiety about speaking and working in a group to get stuff done and contribute.
The ways I communicate at school differ from how I communicate at home. These ways are that at home I am very talkative while at school I rarely speak. When at home I feel confident in what I’m doing, when at school I often second-guess myself.
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus I take a few minutes and go for a walk to gather my thoughts. Doing this helps me calm down and helps me get back to work.
I can reflect on my thinking. When reflecting on my thinking during this project, I try to understand what I’m actually doing. Instead of just doing the work I try to break it down to understand it better. It doesn’t always work but I still try.

Personal/Social Competency Reflection
I know my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences including lowering my chances of getting jobs, so I adjust my actions to posting positive things online that won’t affect anything for me negatively.
I make digital ethical choices such as commenting positively on others’ posts in order to keep my digital footprint looking positive.
Before posting something online, I make sure that by posting this I won’t later regret it in any way.
