14A – Halfway Reflection

1) Tenaciousness is a competency. What are the behaviors that you have used (or developed) to keep up with the requirements of this course? 

For this course, I planned assignments ahead of time and even woke up early on Fridays to meet the 12pm deadline. 

2) Tenaciousness is also about attitude. Talk about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this?

 Whenever I feel overwhelmed from an assignment or feel like giving up, I count backward from 5 and I remember the reason I am taking this course. 

3) Three tips. What are three tips you would offer next semester's student about (1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset'?

(1) Be consistent

(2) Embrace failure as just a way not to something, don't let failure define who you are, 

(3) Create meaningful values about what you're doing. Whenever it's hard to follow through remember those base values.
