With the stress that I have on the daily basis, with school, hockey, and lacrosse, it can get really hard fast and its best to do everything as soon as I get it and try and do it to the best of my ability. Whenever I have an important hockey game or lacrosse game, I try and get my mind focused a couple hours before the game and then do something else productive, like clean my room or do homework. I think positive whenever I get a stressful homework assignment and think to get it done asap then wait until the last minute. Using technology really helps me with all my schoolwork, letting me search for help, use Powerpoint, Word, Excel, etc. It also helps me whenever I’m done with my schoolwork, like playing video games or just scrolling on my phone.

Core Competency Reflection 

I find it easy to be part of a group because I like hearing about the different views of other people and getting to work alongside others. I also think its a lot more fun working with other people and sharing the workload on the thing that we are working on or have to talk about.

I demonstrate respectful, inclusive behavior. Whenever I am playing basketball or any sport, I make sure to include everyone and invite other people to play with us if they have no one else to play with. I also make sure to play by the rules and own to anything I do wrong, which most people do a lot because its easy to mess up.

I participate in classroom or group activities that improve the class, school, or community. I always try my best and participate in all classroom/school activities, even if I don’t feel like doing it or don’t know what I’m doing.
