Half-way Reflection

1) Tenaciousness is a skill. What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course? 

I have definitely used my time-management skills more than anything so far to keep up with this class. With so many assignments that are due every couple of days, it takes a lot of time to know what assignments are due next and which ones take more time to complete. I have also been more outgoing since starting this class. For many assignments, I need help volunteers for, so I have gained communication skills asking for help from others.

2) Tenaciousness is also about attitude. Talk about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this?

I definitely think I have gained some tenaciousness over the paste two months. When I don't want to go on anymore, I tell myself that my grades really do matter and that with every assignment I am bettering myself. I definitely felt like giving up during the customer interview assignment but pushed through and told myself that talking with strangers would help me grow.

3) Three tips. What are three tips you would offer next semester's student about (1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset' ?

1. Just trust yourself that you will do a great job on every assignment and that your ideas will eventually work out.
2. Go out on a limb and act outside of your comfort zone. 
3. Talk with people who are tenacious.
