Core Competencies Reflection

I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way….. I do this by writing about my topic in a clear and organized way so when I read it over again I understand what I was thinking earlier. Doing this also helps if you are working in groups, so we can all share our ideas, and understand each other’s ideas.

I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy. I take pride in my work and myself….. Showing pride in your work is a big thing for me. If I take a lot of time on a project or paper, in the end, or when I am finished I am proud of myself because of all that time and effort I put into that. I get happy and excited when I have finished an assignment because I worked hard to get It done.

I can tell what is important to me and I can explain my values….. When something is important to me in is my main priority. Knowing what my values are is important so i can get them done in time if it is school, but if my values are family, I will make sure to spend lots of time with them.

I can identify my strengths and identify my potential…. Being able to know what your good and bad at is important, so u know what you could improve on. If i am bad at writing i could practice writing more, but if i am good at reading that could help me with my writing, and i can also improve on my reading too because you can improve on everything.

One Goal

I can explain when something is unfair and advocate for others…. I have a hard time sticking up for myself and others, so that is something i would like to improve on or work towards. I choose to word towards this goal because i feel that it is important to be able to hold your ground and be able to stand up to others to protect yourself.
