With that being said, I always looked up to runners because I thought that they had exceptional talent to be able run considering I was “just a thrower.” This mindset was my ideology that was going to fuel my ambitions of striving to not only better myself, but become a runner and prove to all the other children my age that I wasn’t “just a…

not depend on me. The analysis showed that I was able to take a full 15-minute break only one time during the 15 days of work. Most often I took only 1 break, sometimes no breaks at all and the break length was 5-10 minutes long. The lunch period of half hour is not considered for the purpose of this paper since it is mandatory and a subject to negative administrative actions if not taken. The first histogram named “Break Number (BN)” depicts the ratio between number of work days and the number…

Underdeveloped I am underdeveloped in taking initiative and taking the team till the end. I like and live with change but I am not comfortable taking initiatives. I also feel that I have a great potential to be a change catalyst in my home and work environment due to all my experiences. I fear of failure. Failure of the initiative.

Presenting, however, is not as easy as preparation. Presenting in front of your peers for 20 minutes is much more difficult than it sounds, at least for me. On November 19, when I first present the Jot case study in class, I could feel my sweaty palms and knocking knees even though I just stand there. When I was presenting, my voice was timid or quivers with nervousness as I felt more than 30 eyes staring at me. I realize this is what I need to improve as I would be required to present to…

Over the past few weeks I have been working on how well I budget my time. According to LASSI, I have impeccable time management skills, however, according to my grades, this is something I could improve on. To get a better reflection of how well I manage my time, I made two calendars. The first calendar was a raw representation of how I personally spent my week. When making the second calendar, I planned out my week ahead of time and then tried to stick to it. Before doing this assignment, I had…

In comparison to the group work done for paper one, I do believe this was an improvement, mostly because we wrote the paper as we worked through the problem. This not only helped with preventing the procrastination of typing the paper at the last minute, but gave us time to gain an understanding of what was going in the problem by going to office hours. What I feel needs improvement is my the communication between my partner and I. partner initiative to understand the problem. There were times…

is to look at the glass as half full. Which, I mean, I understand the idea, but shouldn 't we be a little more specific about the contents of the cup? What if the glass has arsenic in it? Regardless of whether it 's half full or half empty, if you take a sip you 're going to die -- and who is drinking from this class anyway? I guess the assumption is you drink from your own cup, but the scenario completely changes when someone else gets involved. If I drink a glass half full of arsenic -- that…
