Strengths/Weaknesses Journal Entry

Please create a journal entry about the challenges that you have undertaken in the past few weeks and how you have used your strengths or overcame your weaknesses while work on the project.  Over the past few I have had to learn that I am not alone working on my CAS project, and yes it is a little bit easier to manage work/time wise I have struggled not being totally in control. Working with a team has always been interesting to me, as throughout life I have always worked with teams and I enjoy it. Just at times I struggle not being totally in control of what happens to me. In order to feel re-assured that everything is going as planned I communicate with the people I am working with. Communication is one of my strengths and when I don't communicate I don't work well. Through this process I have learned that about myself and I now know that communication is an important element in working with a team on group projects. I have also procrastinated a bit about writing emails. Within my project I was tasked in writing emails to possible sponsors. While it is an easy task on paper I struggled/struggle with writing formal emails. Something about it being so prestigious and official scares me a bit even though I am a good communicator. Through this struggle I learned the importance of asking for help. I would've never finished the emails I have already done if it wasn't for my friends and teachers. It's now reassuring to know that it is not wrong to ask for help. Asking for help when I need it has always been a weakness of mine, and to overcome it use my confidence. I usually don't care too much about what people think or say about me and reminding myself that helps me to not worry when it comes to asking for help. This week I am going to challenge myself to give help to someone else. This will remind me that it is ok to ask others for help. And it will allow me to work better as a team.
