This gist contains a short assignment I'd like everyone to complete before our formal lesson. The prework involves reading some of the React Router documentation, and will allow us to keep the lesson more hands on.
When you've worked towards a goal in the past, what systems or tools have been helpful for you in accomplishing that goal? How could you adapt those same systems/tools to use while at Turing?
-In the past I have always just set time aside to complete projects. If I knew I would need help, I would ask a friend when they were working so I could meet with them and work through it with them. I suppose that will work here as well but I'll have to make it work virtually instead of personal meetings.
As you start this new career, what is one of your strengths and how do you know?
-I'm a problem solver. I like to find solutions to puzzles and I believe that will be useful in finding solutions in these problems.
Describe how you work best (conditions, environment, preferences, etc.):

| I've never had trouble being empathetic in a work setting, having worked in service industry and also being a teacher now. | |
