Some skills that I have been using during the process of my project are;
Critical thinking. I have used this skill multiple times during my project, a specific example where I used it the most is in my last reflection that I wrote because I have to use my reflecting, applying, analyzing knowledge to find out how some issues that are currently happening in the world affect our project. It was hard at first because I wasn’t critically thinking well and was only basing my thoughts on the basics of my knowledge. This skill has created a great impact on my think throughout these mounts because it has helped me think more creatively and outside the box about certain aspects of our project and other things. It has also helped me better understand myself, helps my motivations, and goals. I teaching myself this skill by being open-minded about ideas and the way I think I try to make it more critical. This skill will be crucial for my future because when I go to college I will have a situation where I need this skill but it will be easy for me because I had already had the practice of it.
Communication. This skill is the one that always use the most and especially in this CAS project. Communication is a skill that is necessary for our project and we use it, even more, when it’s a group project. We use it when we communicate ideas about ways to raise money, also when we have issues or we disagree with certain aspects. Communication is very important because it’s the only way we can effectively work together on anything. This skill has improved throughout the months because at the start of our project we didn’t have the confidence to communicate with one another but after a few classes and discussions, we gain that confidence. It has been very effective in our project because we know are able to listen to others’ ideas and communicate our own. it has helped us become more open to other perspectives and with our compromising ideas. I teach this skill to myself by asking questions and including other thoughts to create an effective group. I will use this skill in the future because good communication can help you with an interview and that first job in your new career.
Teamwork. This skill is the most important one for our CAS project because we are a team and our job is to work together to make our idea successful. An example where we use teamwork is during our job distribution. Ashley and I are focusing on raising money for our project and Diego finds information about aspects that will be imported for our project. This these weeks some of us were focusing on baking cookies and Diego since he inst here with us got the job of finding crucial importation about the VISA which is the most important aspect to make our project a success. As a team, we were able to tackle this skill even though we are not able to see each other or have the right communication. I have personally improved this skill very much throughout these mounts because before I never liked working in a team but now I really enjoy it. This will help me in the future when being in a group it will help everyone bring their skills, talents, and experiences together for a common goal to make whatever situation a success.
