core competency reflection
i can understand and share information on a topic of interest in a clear, and organized way. i showed this by taking my chosen topic and looking into the culture of that country, then splitting it up into several sections and presenting them all in a short and easy to follow way.
i understand that my identity is made up of many interconnected elements. i find this in myself but also in the things around me. if i had never researched this country i would have never realized all the important parts of its culture and how they shaped it into the country it is today.
i advocate for myself. this was shown whenever there was something i needed, i wouldn’t try to go without it. i always let people know what i needed and when i needed it by so i could be more efficient and take charge in my project.
i recognize my emotions and use strategies to help them. this was a common thing i had ti do whenever i got stressed with finishing this project on time. i was able to stop, take a deep breath, and recollect myself so i could do everything to the best of my ability.
my goal for next time is to now wait till the last minuet to do things. i can do this by making sure i start on things the day there assigned so i know its something i need to get done, i can also set reminders for when the project is due so i avoid leaving it.
