I grew up playing hockey and this is where I discovered my skill at working as a team member. I was rarely the fastest, strongest or most skilled player on my team, but I was consistently picked for top compeditive teams, because of my ability to raise the level of play of my teammates. I did this by being flexible and well rounded, which allowed me to fill different roles depending on who I was teamed with.

As I grew up and time came to pick a profession I knew that technology is where I wanted to go. I always have had a knack for problem solving so tech was a good fit. I've been interested in many fields and at times I had dreamed about being a chemist, physicist, geologist and even got a degree in metallurgical engineering. I followed all of these because they were fascinating subjects and have I have moved away from wanting to pursue these careers when I realized what the work environments. A hugh time investment in research for little progress and huge ammounts of capital investments.

##### Challenge 1:
I needed to make each of the smaller divs as inline-blocks to keep their size consistent inside of a flex box. I created a big flex box container for all 3, then a smaller container for 2 & 3. The big container uses justify-content to space out the boxes.

##### Challenge 2:
Nested each block inside another div that was using display:block; and used align-text to get them in the right spot.

Where I am….
I see myself using my strengths nearly every day at Turing. Specifically, my self-assurance when I’m working on a project.
I feel like I put a heavy reliance on knowing that I can figure out a problem on my own and I have been able to teach myself
quite a few things by researching them myself. I feel like this ties into the learner aspect because the drive to learn is
what is pushing me through this experience. It is odd that relator is one of my strengths because I tend to feel shy in new 
groups, especially larger than a couple people. However, I see myself using it to build better relationships with specific 
people and getting closer to them. 
I feel like my understanding of these strengths has changed how I view myself, because it has allowed me to think more about 
what I am good at rather than what I am bad at and need to improve. It has allowed me to be unashamed about who I am and 
accept that I don’t need to be everything.
