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.
