The idea of growth mindset appeals to me strongly.  The fact that it is in a constant state of flux is what interests me most.  Continually being able to practice working through the motions of gaining a mindset state is great.  It makes us better as human beings in my opinion.  Repeating has helped me grow a better mindset with myself and towards others.  I like to discuss and listen to peoples experiences and see how I can help or learn from them.

Week 1 Diagnostic

Floats and Integers

What’s the difference between a float and integer?
    float is a number with a .2545234 -- not a whole number -    
    an integer is a whole number --  1, 2, 3
  
What’s are the similarities and differences between BigNum and FixNum?
    can't think of it off the top of my head.  Will look later and smack myself for forgetting

You did well communicating in person and conveying your ideas. When we split up I could have used faster response times when using slack, esspecially when it was the night before it was due and we were trying to flush out the rest of our problems. When give the project it really helped a lot that you got it started and gave us something to work with. Although for the next project it would be really helpful if you included me with the beginning so I could see your thought process and how you came up with what you did. It would have really helped me learn more on how to start a project if I had seen that.

I am a software developer.  I'm half English half American.  I probably recognize my English side more than I do my American.  Just personal preference really, I hate most American sports, they are all time managed, which holds no honor to me.  My sport that I love is Football (soccer to you guys).  I love being able to help and talk to people.  I especially enjoy conversatinos that challenge my view ands way of thinking.   

I hail from California, though I don't consider myself a transplant into CO.  I have no home or love left for California.  This state where I am now, the people that are here, is where I want to be.  If I do leave, which is a possibility with this job, I want to live in a similiar state, or live in England, Norway, Denmark or Canada.

Keep going, keep smilin, keep working.  I don't know exactly what is next, but I know I think of several things I want to do.  I want to make a website and build a following off of it, that maybe leads into a business.  I want to work and be able to maintai

5 minute breakdown talk about courage and the use of a pick up line.


in the first 1:30, I want to try to connect to my audience as well as start my story. This took some time to think about.
The way to connect with my audience is to include all and not only focus on just the male point of view.

in th next 1:30 - 3:00 I want to explain why courage is important to all of us and how each of us should receive it.

in the last two minutes of the talk, I would like to wrap up and tie in the use of how it is useful to each of us and then

  Seth,
  
  Thanks for helping me aginst my feelings of failure and dread.  I feel as well that our project taught us a lot.
  I think we should have talked and detailed more of a DTR than we did.  Primarily in the aspects of the time frames we planned
  to work together.  We ping ponged well and we made some great movements inbetween the hurdles.  You were seeing syntax errors 
  and a few other things along the same lines that I wasn't, if next time you could point that out and elaborate on it next time.
  I feel stronger after learning from this experience.
