Portfolio Assessment; Part 1

 In the beginning of this class I had one major goal which was to try and figure out what I wanted to do with life and where I wanted to be after high school. I also had little goals such as, doing my best, learning, and working hard on projects so that it could help me in the future. As a student, I just wanted to do well. As of now, not all my goals have been accomplished. I think it will though since we have not done a lot so far. In the near future though, I hope to do really well on our YPI project.

 I feel as if I deserve a G in this class because I get things done on time and when I'm supposed to. I feel like in this component I deserve an 86-88%.  I also work hard on any assignments given instead of just slacking off and not giving it my best ability. I also deserve a G because I'm always ready for class, and have not yet missed a day where I needed to catch up. For example, in my University Dean project located on my blog, I think I had a good amount of information and actually learned and taught myself a lot of things I did not know about the University of British Columbia. For example, I learned how much it would cost and what the benefits were of living on campus rather than at home. I also learned how it's so diverse and even though you could be at UBC for one thing, you can also have many different opportunities.

 Aside from projects, I feel like I also deserve a 86-88% in this component. I also learned a lot about myself and what I like to do through the many quizzes and tests we had done. This proves how much knowledge I'm getting about what I really want to do which ties in with me achieving my goal. I also think I'm great with helping my peers around me although I do think I lack helping other people that don't happen to be near me. I know I should put more effort into commenting and helping my peers out but never seem to do so, which I do want to change. I feel like because of this, I deserve a 76-80%.  I also feel like I should take into consideration about what people comment on my blogs but I feel like when people comment, it's mostly just stars and no wishes which does not help me improve in this class, although I'm hoping to work well on my YPI project and get a lot of feedback.

  Overall, I think this class is great and really does help me understand more things about jobs, schools and life in general. All in all, I feel like I deserve an 86-88% (A) in all the components.

Employment

Part 1: I feel as if I would be a great person to be employed. Communication wise, I love speaking and I think this would help me a lot considering I'm also good at it. I can speak infront of a crowd or even one person and still act mature and have my point be said. I also feel that the use of my words are more formal than informal. I  do feel that I lack in my body language though and I wish to improve this. Problem solving wise, I feel like it depends on what the problem is. For example, if I was asked to fix up a machine, I would not be able to do it considering that this is not my strongest skills. However, if I was asked to correct a design of some sort, I think I would do an exceptionally good job on it because that is just something I enjoy doing and comes naturally. For team work I feel like this could be my strongest skill and also my weakest. I feel this way because it depends a lot on who I'm working with. For example, I would not be able to work with someone who does not care about the problem or feels that they have no involvement. Although, I do feel that if my peers are working just as much as me, that things will run smoothly. This also does annoy me though, considering that a like things in a specific way. Overall, I've been known to be a great leader and this goes hand-in-hand with team work. For personal responsibility, I am great. I know that I'm organized and like to work on things to the best of my ability. Although I do feel that it takes a while for me to get start or get involved with a job because I get lazy and start procrastinating, but I always get the job done with amazing results. Overall, I think I would be a great employee.

Part 2: After taking the quiz, my results were not very different from what I had said in part 1 of this blog. Many of my skills were brought up and repeated. It did have minor changes though, such as me being a great leader an working really well in groups and also how I use my resources productivley. 

Overall, I think I would be a great employee because of all the skills I posses and the experiences I've had.
