Journal Ch. 4

Entry #15
1.) List the successes you have created in your life.
One success in my life was graduating high school, I completed this without failing any courses and did well overall. Another success included winning multiple championships in city league basketball.

2.) List personal skills and talents.
A few things I am skillful at include basketball, lacrosse, and snowboarding. Outside sports I believe I am fairly talented at math and writing.

3.) List positive risks that you have taken in your life.
Changing my major from business to computer science was one risk I have taken. I had no background at all in programming and I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. It turned out that I actually like computer science and am doing well in the class.

4.) List important actions you presently have some resistance about doing.
In various classes I am sometimes timid about answering questions I'm not sure about, also there is resistance when asking questions every now and then, in that I don't want to ask a stupid question. Also there is a job this summer I know I want to do, however, I am a bit nervous because I have never had a job involving computers or testing programs.

5.) Write a visualization of yourself successfully doing one of the actions listed in step 4.
I am offered a job testing computer programs for the summer. I know this will help me greatly in the long run, so, I am going to give it my best effort. I am on the way to work, it is my first day, I get there and everyone is friendly and willing to help me out. I am thoroughly trained to do the work, so I know what I have to do for the job. It goes well and I am asked to return for more work.
