#My Career Development Pre-work

1. The article entitled, "29 Behaviors That Will Make You an Unstoppable Programmer" outlines 29 different helpful tips for how to be successful and progressive as a working programmer. Here are 3 of these behaviors that I feel I already exhibit and try to implement in my life. Finding the right tool for the job/Using Google aggressively I will lump together and re-label "research and self-education". I find this to be very useful and important for all aspects of life. Knowing that resources are a click away is very empowering. If I have a question (about anything) I love to self-educate online using as many viable sources as I can find. I also find the behavior of how to recieve criticism very important. It is not always easy to recieve feedback or criticism but the practice of analyzing the feedback and not taking it personally is a great way to learn from your trials and mistakes as well as see the perspective of others on your team or identify a more specific need o

Guiding Questions to Define The Relationship:

What are your learning goals for this project? What drives us in this project? What is your collaboration style? How do you feel about pair programming vs. divide-and-conquer approaches? How do you communicate best? How do you appreciate receiving communication from others? How would you describe your work style? What are your strengths? How can our strengths complement each other? What’s gone well or poorly in your previous projects? How will we set direction and make decisions as a team? How will we overcome obstacles?

Write 1-2 paragraphs about your StrengthsFinder themes: How have you seen yourself using these strengths at Turing? Has your understanding of these strengths changed since you first reflected on them? If so, how?

-I feel like I have been able to use my strengths often at Turing and have definitely gained an understanding of how they come into play. I have been able to recognize the 'learner' in myself by working in paired projects and actually enjoying the process of problem solving with another perspective that enables me to see things through more than just my personal lens. I have also seen my connectedness and individualization working strongly during paired or group settings as well in just learning to code. I am always finding a way to connect what i learn to something else, or sometimes to past experiences or abstract relationships. I really love to find out how others think in regards to what i'm thinking and to recognize strong points that i should try to learn from. everyone is valuable to this exp

##Question 1: While I have been at Turing I have been using some agile practices without actually realizing it. I find myself approaching a project by first identifying the requirements and then approaching each one and modifying it based on how I feel the user might interact with it, then testing and continuing to circle back each time with a new type of user in mind. In mod2 I have employed the use of Waffle.io to organize and drive workflow with paired projects. This tool has been useful to help break the project up into smaller units, but I have also found it to be hard to remember to update. In future projects I would like to try to create more structure to how the steps are approached but I want to continue to use the circle-back agile method of evolving and testing based on different user types and interactions.

##Question 2: This mod I had 2 paired projects and in each one i played a different role. During game-time I found myself in the leadership role and I used my relationship and strategic relate

##Working Draft Ever since I can remember, if asked what I wanted to be when I grew up or what I want to do with my life, my answer has been: I'm not sure but I want it to involve me creating something, building something, fixing a problem. I always loved solving puzzles and video games and I still do! Equally motivating is the feeling of being creative and creating something beautiful or inventive. In highschool I thought I may want to aim for the arts or theater and I ended up working towards a design degree. However, i quickly realized this path was not quite the right fit and hopped over to a different industry. I began a study and career as a massage therapist. I've always felt that I was methodical and precise and good with my hands and this is probably what led me to this new venture. The gratification of helping others and knowing i was good at my job was a great motivator along with the promise of schedule freedom, a solid living and self employment. I was extremely dedicated to my clients and a
