Communicating 

I feel it’s very important to support proper communication with your peers. I always try my best to share my ideas effectively by telling what I think, how can we use my idea? It’s also important to take/give constructive criticism. We need to know to give feedback without being rude or in sensitive. This also goes with receiving, the only way we can learn is by always learning from our mistakes and hearing other ideas that can help shape your future self. Communicating is one of my strong suites considering I’m more of a social butterfly. I like to work in a strong communicative environment since it helps me feel productive and helps me learn new things. When learning, I like to ask questions and visually see ow things are done. I love talking to others and working in groups because I find I learn more and feel more confident in the work I give to my peers because I’ve received help by multiple people.  

Thinking  

I am more of a creative thinker. I enjoy looking at things outside the box. I love expressing my work through projects that have more of an artistic style to it. I enjoy showing my thoughts differently. This is how I learned to use certain tools like Sway, making my own websites, and drawings. I took Marketing Business 11 this year and we had been given a task to make our own product and convince entrepreneurs its able to be successful. I had worked with 3 other classmates and we truly put our creative thinking to the max. We developed a product, made websites, and were able to share our ideas effectively and in a fun way. I really enjoyed playing around with my ideas and building new skill sets that can become useful in the future. I find music can help me develop ideas. 

Personal and Social  

Covid-19 made me realize how much we take for granted; we truly have a lot of things that we don’t appreciate. Especially ourselves. As a society we set an image of what and “ideal” person should act and look like, and I feel it effects women deeply. Our teen years is where we are very vulnerable to society. We worry that people will judge us for being ourselves, so we try to fit in. This is where mental and physical illnesses develop. I have now realized that I should focus on myself! I have been focusing on taking care of my mental and physical health. I had joined Athletic Training and have been enjoying it. I feel healthier and more productive throughout the day. I make sure I’m friends with the right people that make me feel comfortable and welcomed. Maintaining this type of self-love is very important and we should remind everyone that they are perfect and you’re always there for them.
