Reflection

I am usually not one to brag when it comes to reflecting on myself, but for this essay I go over some of my best trades and personal qualities I learned through highschool. One of if not the best personal quality of mine is my self worth. If I believe that I can do something, then I do it. It's pretty simple in my mind. I don't let my mind hold me back when it comes to obstacles I'm facing. I always keep a positive mindset when going into new things so that I can lessen stress. If I'm trying something new, I take it slow and stay positive. Doing this helps me achieve goals overtime, rather than rushing to new conclusions. Having the right mindset can be very profitable when it comes to self worth. Having a growth mindset makes it easier to achieve new goals, therefore making it easier to persevere through challenges in life. Having self worth is a great quality, but you need more than that to succeed in today's competitive climate. That's where sociability comes into play. For me it's important that I keep a great attitude while around others. This lets other students or adults know that I am cooperative, and patient. Both of these great aspects describe who I am as a person, and I make sure to show that when talking or interacting with others. I strive to be a very likeable pier to my friends, family and other people I meet on the way. I want to make allies that can help me through life, and in return I can share with them the knowledge I have learned. I believe that this is how the world should work. Everyone in unity spreads knowledge.
When it comes to basic understandings of life, I believe writing expresses ideas that are more than just basic. When writing, learners, teachers and everyone else can express themselves freely. Writing is a great way to state ideas and thoughts that you might have. This can be done anonymously or not if you want to. When writing you can let out parts of you that others may not have known. Through writing, you can tell how someone's mind truly works, and how they interpret different ideas. Writing can be a very basic understanding of life, and a great way to express yourself freely, but when it comes to overall health, Fitness can exceed expectations. Fitness is something we need to stay healthy. Unfortunately school doesn't focus on the health side of things as much as the learning side. What people don't realize is that there has to be a balance of basic needs in life. Yes you need to learn basic mathematics, learn how to write, But you also need to know how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Fitness doesn't just bring fantastic looking results, it can change a person's whole mindset. When you treat your body correctly, you become truly happy and truly healthy. Your body reacts in different ways when triggered to different lifestyles. Being physically fit can help in other aspects of life, and make you think from a different perspective.
After about 4 years of highschool you seem to pick up on little things that can help your ability to learn. When asked the question, do you know how to learn? Learners can typically answer this with yes. In my book I would say that I have developed different learning techniques that help benefit my style of learning. This may be taking extra notes, or taking a picture of the class notes for later use. This helps me remember everything from class so I can use it later at home. Other techniques could include different study methods before a test that help me memorize different material. Not only do you learn your own learning style through high school, but you learn to think in different ways. This would be called creative thinking and directly correlates with different learning styles. Using creative thinking can help me find new study styles, new plans for college, and a lot more. When thinking about things in a different way, you can find things that work for you. I have come to perfect my style of learning and my style of thinking that lets me figure out what works for me.
A lot of skills are required to be taught to high school students. One of those skills is to learn how to work with others. While going through my high school years I perfected my teamwork skills. I often advocate that I work with a group and love to help others. Working with a team allows me to practice my communication skills for the real world. I really love working in a group because you get the chance to put your ideas into someone else's mind. This allows groups to merge ideas, creating a whole new perspective. This also ties into being a leader. Having great leadership is a trait that I have learned through working with others. When you start out with groups you always need someone to lead the team and make sure they are on track to reach their goals. Being a leader in the classroom can directly translate to being a leader in the workspace.
There really is nothing that gets me more excited than technology. I have been using it since I was a young boy. I always found it fun to play around with it and see all the things it can do. While using technology I have been able to make myself aware of different difficulties that may accrue. I really enjoy fixing technology. I learned a lot from my 6 year internship I had at a computer shop. I found it so fascinating that there were so many different issues that everybody occurs once in their lifetime. Being aware of technology and knowing how to use it, are different things. I could say that I am aware of tech by just being around it, but you never really know how to use it properly until you come into problems. After you come into these problems you learn how to fix them. This keeps happening throughout your life. It is really surprising how many problems you can come into in one day.
