Answer 1

What is the answer 1 to your EQ?

• My first answer is: Making sure the kids you're coaching know how to behave safely while using the potentially dangerous equipment.

What evidence do you have to have support this?

• During my time volunteering, I've seen a couple of minor injuries. Most of these injuries have been caused by unsafe equipment practices; if you don't fall right, you can hurt your ankles or back. These injuries could have been preventable if everyone in the class knew how too keep themselves safe on the equipment.

What sources did you use to find this evidence?

• My service learning.

Self Reflection

(1) How do you think you are doing so far in your senior project and why?  

• I Think I'm doing well. I'm completing most, if not all, of my work. The work I don't do can be chalked up to my  scatter-brained forgetfulness, which, coincidentally, has been kept under relatively good control. I've been putting many of my assignments on my phone and remembering that  way. The blog has also been instrumental in my organization. Over all I would think that I'm doing solid P work.

(2) What one thing do you think you have done well on and why?

• One of the things that I've been doing well on is my service learning and independent project. I had my service learning from almost the second week and I think that has really helped me stay apace or ahead of the game. I know many people are still struggling with their service learning and I'm glad that I don't have to deal with that stress on top of the already stressful work.

(3) What is one thing you would like to improve on and why?

• One of the things I would like to improve on is my physical organization. Last binder check I was scrambling to get everything organized and ready. I don't like that feeling and stress. If I could minimize that by simply being more organized that would be great. So putting papers where they need to go and things like that.
