2/5 Class: Your Element

In today's fast-paced and competitive world, finding fulfillment in our professional lives can often feel like an elusive pursuit. Many of us spend a significant portion of our time at work, yet far too often, it can seem like an obligation rather than a source of inspiration. However, we learned today in class it's possible to not only find your element in your job but also come to peace with it being the most important thing in your life.

I learned to take the time to reflect on what truly excites myself, what I excel at, and what matters most to me. This involves exploring my hobbies, interests, and past experiences to uncover patterns and themes that point myself in the direction of my true calling.

I hope everyone understands that message because it makes life seem a lot easier

3/20 #2: Story Abroad

 I am currently traveling with a group of 7 guys and we don't always get along. When planning our spring break there was a lot of disagreeing. That being said, we learned how to navigate it quite well. Rather than stepping on everyones toes, we took a step back and asked everyone what the most important part of the trip was. In a snake order each person got to plan one thing until all our days were filled. Doing it this way we felt everyone was able to get their fare share of input and a good mix of interests making it a very unique trip. We even had point son. the trip planned where we'd split up briefly to do our own things before coming back together at a final destination. I am very pleased with our communication skills throughout the process and it has forever altered the  way we approach disagreements like this in the future again.

2/28: Strategy

 In class today we learned how to approach all our big rocks. I used getting an internship this summer as an example. While I have had friends who put hundreds of hours and applied to hundreds of positions, I found intense grind sessions to be a more effective approach in my internship process. Consistency was key in my success. I found a job working at WellsFargo in Charolette NC, through targeting my interests staying real/ honest with myself, and by positioning myself to the employers as someone who wants to learn and is open to criticism. I want to reflect the way I handled the internship process in the other big rocks of my day to day life. It taught me a lot about what I am capable of when organized and determined.
