Turing Pre Work: Personal Development

3 behaviors that matter to me

  1. Always use the right tool for the job. This statement is fundamental to properly executing any task in life. If you are not using the right tools for a task then you are clearly wasting time with the wrong tools. The first step I use in my approach to problem solving is evaluating the tools at hand and picking the best to execute the task. Learn about the toolbox. Choose the best tool. Complete the task.

  2. Take responsibility for your mistakes. Playing the blame game is detrimental to solving the issue. If you are playing the blame game then you are ultimately wasting your own time By taking responsibility and moving forward one is closer to resolving the issue and moving onward. Accepting responsibility for mistakes

Storytelling Mod1

I have attempted to focus on my strengths to help power through struggle. It has been a challenge.

I struggled to reach out in the beginning of the mod, but I've gotten more comfortable showing others my code and implementing suggestions. I'm a learner and a leader without a doubt. My mod has showed me tremendous grattitude throughout the first 5 weeks specifically at retro. They thank me for being the only person I know how to be, and I admit that it feels good to be viewed as an approachable leader in stressful times. What they do not realize is that they have helped me to remember who I am in a difficult period. I have never experienced this much stress and anxiety at any point that I can rememeber. I had carved out a stress free lifestyle up until Turing, so dealing with new emotions has really been a struggle for me. Imposter syndrome is incredibly accurate.

My understanding of strengths has not changed, but my strengths have been tested. I had a really hard time understanding our first individual pr

Night Writer Project w Iza DTR

DTR Project: Night Writer Group Member Names: Timo Mitchel, Iza Jimenez Project Expectations: Open communication, falling through on responsibilities, not procrastinating, good time management. What does each group member hope to get out of this project? Developing better programming skills and understanding - improving enumerables practice . Facilitate good learning practices.

Goals and expectations: Finish strong, finish early. Both persons understand all components of the code, and explain thoroughly. Have time to refactor. Follow rubric and use irb/pry to test implementation. Make good tests. Share good references and resources! (i.e. visual representations). Share tips on using atom/terminal shortcuts. Make each other faster/better developers overall.

Team strengths: Timo: Persistently works through projects and hurdles. Will make Iza take breaks.

Strengths and Storytelling for Turing School Mod 1 Back-End Round 2

Last module and this module have been night and day for me. This module I came in prepared, level headed, and confident that in my own abilities. I used my leadership, learner, and input strengths to help my cohort mates and pick up as many helpful strategies as possible. I dealt with a lot of anxiety and imposter syndrome last mod. It certainly was detrimental to my learning. This module I had a mindset that nothing was outside of my problem solving scope. Even if the problem is difficult, remembering that every problem has a solution helped me gain confidence in my ability to solve the problem. Because I knew what to expect the module was much less overwhelming. I understood my tools. I felt confident with my typing. I knew how to navigate around my environment. I had resources I was comfortable with at school. I sought out new resources. All of this is important when navigating the steep learning curve. I wish I was more prepared the first time around because I do miss my original cohort. I'm happy to hav

What are you doing well as a pair programmer and collaborator?

I'm communicating well with my teammates and allowing them to feel relaxed and calm communicating with me. I'm keeping our groups moving forward and being kind to my partners while also encouraging them to provide input.

How do you use your strengths as a team member? I embody approachability so that I can leanr and teach as directly and effectively as possible in a team environment. I make sure my partners feel comfortable communicating and contributing on my team.
