My Skills

As I am preparing to enter into the adult world it is time to asses myself and what skill I have or what I need to work on. This website has 28 skills that define student readiness.  Here is what I've concluded.

Self-Directed- I get easily distracted, especially when doing homework. I'll be sitting there doing it like I'm suppose to, then all of the sudden I get a text asking for homework help. I'll respond and help them, then I get a twitter notification so I have to look at it. After that I have to check Twitter and everything goes down the drain. So the easy fix is don't have your phone next to you when doing homework, but then I have a question and I'll text a friend for help or I'll need to look something up. It is honestly just easier to have it close to me, but upside down so I can't see all of the notifications.

Self- Management- I don't control my emotions to well in situations. That is a big issue I have. When I get mad, like really mad I'll lash out and say things I don't mean. I cry, a lot, when I get upset. I need to work on controlling my emotions. But hey, I am a work in progress.

Nimble- I think that I am okay with this one. There is definitely room for improvement, but it's not something I completely lack. I like to study and learn in quiet environments. I like there to be lots of light and I like to have room to spread my stuff out. When I don't have these things my learning doesn't stop, it just takes longer for me to do things.

Skills I Posses:

Communication- I am a good talker. I can't tell you in clear sentences how my day was yesterday or how to do double digit multiplication. I can do the same with writing, you've read my blog haven't you? I think that I have communication pretty much mastered.



Flexible and Adaptable- I am a mover and a shaker and I enjoy change. I am super flexible and am good at squeezing things into my schedule. When I get asked to babysit I normally get asked the day of so I am good at adjusting my schedule likewise.

Resourceful- I am full of idea and am always open to learning new ideas to share. I can look at how to do things differently.
