Core Competency Reflection

Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in group projects. I know how to gather information, respectfully listen, and share ideas connected to a topic. An example is the earthquake/ volcano broadcast video where I was placed in a group with two others. We were able to gather information individually then communicate clearly to share information and eventually design and build a presentation.

Some of the things I do to stay mentally and physically healthy include regularly hiking with ES and participating in extracurricular sports and activities. With ES we were doing at least 1 hike or walk a week and I am involved in a soccer team that practices 2 times a week with 1 day of games, in addition to a volleyball team which also practices 2 times a week with up to 2 days of games.

My support network is helpful to me because they are always there to help me with homework and they are always available to talk to. I also would like to call my classmates my support group as we can bounce ideas off of each other, inspire each other, and always communicate and talk with each other. Without my support group, I would not be able to excel in school.
