Halfway Reflection

Tenaciousness is a competency.
What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course? 
Throughout this course, I have been able to develop my time management and organizational skills. Although there are only two main assignments per week, it is very easy to underestimate the amount of time each assignment takes to complete. For this reason, I tend to set up my blog "edits" in advance with future assignments. Moreover, rather than doing both assignments on the day they are due, I do them throughout the week so that I don't have to stress about them later.

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?

In regards to giving up, there are a few moments where I didn't feel like completing an assignment. One of these moments would be when I realized I would have to conduct interviews regarding the opportunity I identified. The thing that pulled me through would be the fact that I never give up. Regardless of the situation, I complete whatever is asked of me.
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. Create a schedule. Although Canvas provides a calendar with upcoming assignments and due dates, I find it best to write down everything that's due and crossing it out once completed.
2. Complete assignments ahead of time. Given that Professor Pryor grades based on the minimum requirements of each assignment, it is a relatively easy course to pass. However, there is a lot of work that must be done for some assignments. Therefore, it is beneficial to work in advance to prevent the stress from completing assignments right before deadlines.
3. Remain open-minded. In this class, you are asked to identify opportunities. Some people may agree or disagree with what you have chosen as a need. For this reason, it is essential to keep an open, positive mindset.
