Step 3: Please respond to the following questions in a reflection (4-6 sentences):
   * What is your greatest strength and how do you know? Emotional intelligence, perception, and empathy for others. I know because I usually have an easy time connecting with people and noticing them. I usually can read peoples emotions or the dynamics of a room. I feel other people's energy pretty strongly. 
   * How do you work best? idependently, but with others around.
   * What is your greatest area of improvement? time management, organization, confidence and self promotion. I hate talking about myself!
   * How do you hope to maximize your strengths for your new career in software development? I'm pretty good at peace making, problem solving and woirking through conflict, which I think can be pretty useful in time sensitive, high-stakes collaborative working environments. 
   * How might knowing about your strengths and working preferences benefit you as a software developer? I think I have a good idea of what kind of c

What role does empathy play in your life and how has it helped you?

``Empathy plays a huge role in my life. From work problems to traffic disputes, I find that empathy helps me move through the world
in a more generous and relaxed way. Whenever I feel a burst of anger at a perceived slight I try to remind myself 
that the person I am focused on is a human being, that they might have a difficult life, that them flipping me off on the highway
is probably not personal. I find that empathy reduces stress, and helps me build and maintain friendships. It also helps me 
approach conflict in a more productive way. I have also benefitted tremendously from the empathy others have shown me.``

How does empathy help you build better software?

## What is a "framework?" And how does it differ from a "library?"
difference lies in "inversion of control". 
The technical difference between a framework and library lies in a term called inversion of control.
With a library you choose when and where to call it and implement the code. With a framework it provides places for you to 
plus in code but it is in charge of the "flow".
You call a libraries code, a framework calls your code.

## Why should we consider using a framework over vanilla JS like you have been doing in mods 1 and 2?
They are more efficient. They provide a blueprint to work off of instead of having to build out an entire foundation.
they help async functionality and data retrieval be easier and have fewer bugs.

Please describe the current vision you have for your career. What are the values that will drive your job search? What are your goals for your job search? What kind of role do you see yourself pursuing in your job search?

Initially I would like to start at a company with a decent value system, a tech stack I am interested in, and a notable mentorship program for new devs. I would like to work at a company that has a culture of inclusion that they are always working to improve. I imagine I will start out as a junior front end developer. Eventually I would like to be able to do fullstack, so I would like to work in an environment where there is room to grow. Opportunities to go to confrences and take workshops for continuing education is also valuable to me. My long term stretch goal is to get enough experience and continuing ed to be able to pay it forward. I wouly like to eventually be able to teach formerly incarcerated people in the Philadelphia area programming fundamentals. Ideally I will be able to p
