Self Assessment
Above I have my self assessment chart. In the chart the black squares are what I originally had put for what my strengths were. For each class we were given two new squares to place on the chart. I placed one of my squares for engineering in communication and the last one in collaboration. For english, I placed one of the in courage and the last one in pride. Below I will explain why I placed them where I did.
Engineering
The blue squares are the new areas in Engineering I feel as if I have grown in the past two months. We have had a lot of group work and I feel as if I have grown in collaboration. Before the Soul Machine project I have always preferred to work individually, but this project has showed me the importance of having partners. Having partners gives you different perspectives and helps you complete your work more efficiently. I placed the last square I had for Engineering in communication. This project has not only helped me grow in collaboration, but also in communication. I have to communicate a lot with my group members in order to get work done. I've also had to communicate a lot with Mr. Poole. Having done so much communication in the past months, I have grown in this area.
English
For my english class, I placed one of the squares in the pride section and the other in the courage section. I feel as if I have really grown in courage because of the Soapbox speech. The Soapbox speech forced me to grow out of my comfort because I had to present my personal thoughts and opinions not only to my peers, but to an audience filled with strangers. Placing the square in the courage section was a big step because I had never placed a square in that section before. With gaining my courage I also gained pride. I also gained confidence to express my personal thoughts and opinions on stereotyping. Therefore I placed my last square in the pride section.

Goals for Next Semester
Next semester I hope to be more involved in each project and as well as express my opinions. Through this semester I have improved in this but there is always room for improvement. By involved I mean by taking on more tasks, and taking a on a leadership role. Through this semester I have struggled to take on a leadership role because of how many influential people there are in my class.
