# Strengths & Storytelling Reflection Guidelines

Build on your professional story by thinking about how you're progressing at Turing. Answer the questions below in your own gist to use your StrengthsFinder themes to add to your story:

* 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?
  * I think that my perceptions from week 1 have basically stayed the same. The one thing that I am disappointed in myself about is that I lost positivity during the ideabox project. It had issues, and I fell into a fixed mindset and had a hard time over coming the issues. Instead of blaming myself, I should have fallen to my natural positivity strength and been positive and believed that the obstacles we faced would be overcome.
* How are you different today than when you first started at Turing? How are you stronger now than on day 1? How have you struggled?

Challenge 1

I first created a 3rd div. Then I positioned the box to float right. To make the gap between div1 and div3, I made div3 a border-box, and gave it a margin of 5px so that there would be a gap between the two boxes.

Challenge 1

Challenge 2

For the second challenge, I forked Challenge 1 to keep the three divs. Then I made div1 position: relative so that it would stay in the top left corner. For div 2, all I did was make positioning: relative so that it kept its place in the block, but margin:auto so that it would be centered. For div3, I used absolute positioning because nothing was below it, and it didn't need to hold its space. Then I just used right: 0 to make it line up with the right margin.
