Know Yourself - Chapter 5

The Critical Difference
My Score:
Avoider style: 14
Consumer style: 27
Strategist style: 17

How Systematically Do I Solve Problems?
My Strengths in Problem Solving are: Identification, Evaluation, Action, and Looking Back.
I need to practice on the Definition.  If I am not able to see what the main definition is, then I will not be able to see what can help and what could be the one that can be a good choice.
Make sure that I am able to put the type of solving so I am able to see what other methods I can do so I can accomplish what needs to be done for my class.

My Creative Profile
I am often creative.

Know Yourself - Chapter 9

What are My Writing Strengths and Weaknesses?
My writing strengths are I follow the instructions.  I always stay focused.  The things that I need to improve are to think of what I am trying to say and try to sum it up in a better way.  No, when I am working on something important, I try to think of what is the best way that I can go and accomplish something.  A strategy that can help me would be to brainstorm my ideas.  Once I brainstorm my ideas, I will be able to choose what sounds good and which one would go with the topic.  It would be a good idea to go to a writing center, when at the center, they can help you with what you need to do and what needs to be done so you can be able to throughly write a great story.

Are You at Risk for Plagiarism?
Reproducing the writer's original words-with quotations marks.  Rearranging the words in the writer's original sentence, and identifying the writer, but puttting theoriginal sentence your own words.  I reproduce the writers original words-with quotation marks.

What Are My Speaking Strengths and Weaknesses?
My strengths are I connect with the audience by talking directly to them rather than reading my notes or delivering a memorized script.  I follow appropriate conventions, including grammer.  I need to improve on are my purposes and keep the main focus the whole time.  I need to organize the speech a little better and I need to reflect more on the course.

- watching tv
- playing games
- just sleeping when I should be doing work

2. I spent too little time on:
- reading the book
- studying
- getting ready to take a test

3.Next week, I will spend more time on:
- studying for tests
- read the chapters for my classes
- getting organized and have everything for the next day
4. Next week, I will spend less time on:
- watching tv
- playing games
- less time on the computer unless it is for homework

5. After a week of managing, monitoring and evaluating my use of time, these are the most important things I have to work on to be a great manager:
- make sure I am completing everything on time
- be on time when I am doing my work
- making sure that I will be able to finish my work and have time to study so I can succeed in my classes.

Know Yourself - Chapter 1

Campus Resources to Meet My Needs
I am  discovering new things on campus everyday.  There are places on campus that I haven't been yet.  Some of the places on campus that help me out I pretty much go there everyday.  There are also a lot of clubs that I can join so I can get involved.

What are my Interests?
The activities that I like to do the most is playing basketball.  I always play basketball when I have a lot of free time.  I also like to go and hang out with friends. 

When I am doing what I want it is pretty much helping out others.  I like to do a lot of community service.  I also pretty much play basketball whenever I can. 

In my leisure time I try to play basketball, but when I am at home, I usually help out my brother with his homework.

My hobbies are as I said before playing basketball, and playing other sports, I usually like to hang out with my older cousins.  Because they challenge me when I play them in basketball, we usually play 2 - 2, and they know my weaknesses so it is a little challenging but I still fnd a way to get the win.

I can't relate any of the activities, hobbies, or interests to possible academic majors.  I can't link them to any possible carreers, the only way that I could link it to a career is that I will be able to talk to people I don't know and be able to help them out with what is happening.

Know Yourself - Prologue

What are my Values?

- having good friendships and getting along well with people
- self-respect
- having a good spiritual life
- having the respect of others
- being a moral person
- feeling secure
- being a great athlete
- being well educated
- contributing to the welfare of others
- having peace of mind
- being happy
- family relationships
- honesty and integrity
- dedication and commitment
- having personal responsibility

My five most important personal values are:

1) Family Relationships
2) Having good relationships and getting along well with people.
3) Being well educated
4) Honesty and Integrity
5) Having a good spiritual life

-I got to these through what my parents have taught me.  Also what I have experienced and what my friends have taught me.  I learned these through all the challenges that I have had to overcome to get to the point to where I am at right now.  I have hard about them really hard.  Family relationships are a big deal for, because my whole family is always there for me and I know that they will always have my back no matter what I am going to do.  If I have a good relationship with someone and getting along with people I know that I will make friends easier.  Friendship is important because you will need them to talk to about what is happening in your life.  Being well educated is important because without an education then I know I will not be able to get a good job and be successful.  Honesty and Integrity is important, because you need to keep your promises and you have to be able to tell someone the truth so you can show that you are honest about what you do.  Having a spiritual life shows that I am a religious person.  I always go to church and pray especially when I need to talk to someone.
-I am living up to values.  I know that I am doing what is right and I know that I will always do what is right.  They truly reflect who I am.  I am an honest person and I know that what I do doesn't just affect my life but affects the ones that are very important to me.
