I had a blast working with you Dan. I loved the constant communication we had and I really appreciated the fact that you respect my time. Whenever we worked, we worked hard. It was super satisfying. I also want to say that I really appreciate your patience with me especially when it came to the localStorage part in our code and how you were using a counter to define each individual idea. I know it took me a while to understand it, but it was really helpful that you continued to explain it to me and even let me explain it through a couple times to you to make sure I was understanding it correctly. You were an awesome partner. 
If I have one bit of advice to offer, I would say maybe next time you work with a partner, if you get some advice from your brother, see if your partner can sit in on the conversation.  That way they don't have to play catchup later.  Rather, they can hear the same awesome feedback your brother gave you.  Otherwise though, again, I really had a great time working with you and look forwar

# Strengths & Storytelling Reflection Guidelines

* Look at your initial StrengthsFinder reflection that you completed in week 1 -- how have your perceptions of the top 5 themes stayed the same? How have they changed?

My perceptions of my top 5 strengths have not really changed. 
  1. Communication - People who are good communicators have an easy time talking to people. In my experience this does describe me as I am almost always able to find a topic that I enjoy speaking to others about.
  2. Consistency - I think this means that people are able to expect, rely or predict my behavior. People can expect certain class of work, behavior, attitude and demeanor.
  3. Harmony - I think Harmony and empathy have similar meanings. I do not look for conflict. If avoidable I will avoid it. However that doesn't stop me from having conflict in my life. Sometime conflict will lead to harmony. But by understanding what others are feeling, or thinking I am able to create an atmosphere where we all can collectively enjoy ou
