My stressors

Sometimes I can get really stressed. With unreal amounts of homework, chores and endless basketball practices its hard to manage my time properly. I cope using music and eating, usually lots of eating. Even making healthy balanced meals can improve my mood, as long as I have time. Playing basketball really helps when I’m stressed, it makes me forget about all of the stressful things in my life. Last semester I had 3 finals and 2 final projects within 3 days. I don’t Believe this is healthy for anybody, even the smartest students would be stressed out because of something like that. I worked through that week with lots of basketball and hanging out with people who make me happy.

Core Competency

I understand that my identity is made of many interconnected elements. I’m a diverse person with many skills to offer, I am a combination of so many things that have built my personality. I  work to inform myself about issues surrounding me. I am quite aware of how the world needs to change, economically and physiologically. Global and local issues are something I’m familiar with. I find it easy to be part of a group. Group work is one of my greatest strengths and I really enjoy working in group.

Core competency goal

I use strategies to help me find peace and I sustain a healthy and balanced lifestyle. I’m still working on balancing my life with work, school, basketball and fun.
