Story Telling
Storytelling Reflection
Describe your 3-act arc by answering these three questions in 1-2 paragraphs:
Who are you: I am a hardworker that always strives to do my best. I've always enjoyed learning new skills, especially in an analytical type of field. Growing up, I always loved math. I enjoy anything that is very logical... especially activities that somewhat parallel a puzzle. I enjoy challenging myself to gain new skills and be the best I can be within a certain subject area. I'm aware that there's always room for improvement, and that is exciting for me.
Why are you here: After graduting from college with a degree in mathematics, I went in to teaching. I loved teaching, but it did not allow me to live a lifestyle that was enjoyable outside of work. I had a desire to have a job that would be mentally stimulating, and would allow me to achieve goals outside of my job. Turing is really touch, and I knew this coming in, but I am enjoying this challenge!
What's next: My ideal position in the future is one in which I can still work in/for a service industry (possibly nonprofits). I would love to see the direct benefit from my work, and feel confident that I was helping someone.
What was particularly easy or difficult about telling your story? What are 1-2 steps that you can take to continue to improve your abilities to tell your story, talk about yourself with ease, and examine your strengths?
It is tough to just talk about myself. I also feel like originally I left a lot of big events and transitions out that actually helped lead me to Turing and to software engineering in general. I think it would be beneficial for myself to spend more time remembering those events, and also my desires for the future.
