COMMUNICATION 

One of my strengths is communicating because when we are in groups, I try my best to contribute and share my ideas. For example, in French class, we would do discussion about a book called “Où est ma maison” in this discussion I would share my ideas on the character and share my opinions about what happened in the book. I also shared connections in my life to the book. I also showed my communication in math class when we would have to for math question on the white bord in class. In these groups I would try to do the questions with my knowledge while asking the others if they had any other ideas or ways. Sometimes, we wouldn’t agree so I let them show what they were thinking and sometimes they were right so I would ask them to explain. I would ask them questions if I didn’t understand. If they were wrong, I would try to explain what I would do differently, and I would explain why. Some of my weaknesses in this category is that when questions are asked to the class, I do not answer enough questions as I am hesitant to get them wrong. I will work on this skill by raising my questions even if I am not sure about the question.  

CREATIVE THINKING 

Some of my strengths in creative thinking is that I can create ideas and execute these ideas. For example, in business and entrepreneurship, we had to make a product to repel bugs, but it had to be something new, and it had to be functional. We also had to make it an affordable product. So, in this process, we had many obstacles while making this product because it was too expensive to make, so we had to change something so that it would be affordable but because of that the aesthetic we went for wasn’t there anymore. So, to make sure it was still there we changed our logo and designs so it would make it so that it wasn’t noticeable. Some ways I create new ideas is brainstorming so I would brainstorm everything that needed to be in the product then I did research on things that would help me achieve these goals while writing them down than based on my research I made the product. Another way I use to make ideas is looking at other examples than I use those to help me make ideas based on them so that they aren’t repeated but the goals are similar. Lastly, a weakness of mine is that sometimes I am not able to show my thinking and I don’t put enough detail in them while executing them or explaining them. I will work on this skill by asking people questions about what is unclear and what they don’t have a full understanding of so that I can add and show it.
