Identity Crest Reflection

Curricular Competency & Content Reflection

This assignment impacted how I have an unconscious bias to things that I don’t even realize. I hadn’t really realized how much my decisions and thoughts are unconsciously biased. For example, I have a peanut allergy so through this assignment I really recognized how much thought goes into the news I try and if I can have them or if I will react to them. This assignment has also revealed to me how many little things my family and I have in common. Sports are a big part of life on one side of my family, and I never really realized how much we have in common when it comes to things sports related. On the other side of my family food and gardening are a big part of life and I never noticed how much we have in common when it comes to that. So really this assignment opened my eyes to the unconscious biases I have and the things that I have in common with my family members. 

Core Competency Reflection

I think my experiences such as playing games with my cousin influenced my choice of sports because he helped me be competitive and want to win. Yes, I would be competitive without him but I get more competitive when we try to one-up each other with our accomplishments.

Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in the paragraph because I communicated pretty clearly how the assignment made me notice thigs about myself that I would not have likely noticed without it.

Although I am challenged by a lot of little things, I can get through these challenges by tapping in to my perseverance and slowly but surely make it through all the little things that I find challenging.

I appreciate feedback on everything I ask about and prefer it comes in the form of honest but still kind words. Brutal honesty is sometimes wanted but if its not needed then I don’t really want it.

My Goal

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus I listen to music. My goal is to stop relying on music to help me refocus and try to be able to focus without it because I will not always have access to music.
