For this project in my Education class in university we had to choose from a list of 50 different values and narrow it down to our top 10 important values. This assignment made me aware of what I value most in my life. This assignment is likely to transform me in the future. Now that I am more aware of what I value most in life I can take those values and apply them to my education, looking for a career, and my future life goals. Choosing my top 10 values was a bit tricky because some of the values intertwined with one another so it was hard to separate them and narrow it down. However, I am happy with the values that I ended up choosing. I think when I am put in a situation when I have to make a tough decision keeping these values in mind will help me to make a good choice. I plan on using these values to help me change my view on life and allow me to transform into a better person.

This is an assignment that I had to complete in a film class when I was in high school is an example of collaboration/teamwork competencies. In this assignment we had to get into groups and create a short film along with a movie poster to advertise for our short film. Doing this assignment was slightly challenging because everyone in our group had different ideas for the short film and what they wanted to do. We had to learn how to collaborate with each other and try to incorporate everyones ideas into the film. This assignment helped me to grow my teamwork skills and learn how to work together with others even if our views on something was different. I had to learn to accept others opinions and ideas and try to work together to combine my ideas with theirs.

Personal Values Statement:

To be more respectful of myself and push myself to try new things.

My Goals

1. A personal goal for me is be more open to changes and not being scared to fail.
2. An academic goal for me is to put more time and effort into studying and assignments for my classes.

Meeting my personal goals is going to be a struggle for me. I am scared of changes and anything that is new. If I haven’t done something before then I very hesitant being open to it. However, I know that being open to change is very important especially where I am in my life right now. I have to be open to changes and trying things that I have never done before, even if I fail the important thing is that I tired it and I did the best I could. Putting more time and effort into my assignments for my courses is extremely important especially for my grades. However, if I do put more time and effort into my assignments and I go more in depth with them then I will gain a better understanding of them and maybe even have a deeper meaning on the subject. It will be hard to take more time out of my days to study more most because of my job but I want to start to add at least an extra 30 minutes to my study time and hopefully that will let me have more time to go more in depth with my assignments.
