Gear Up 5 - Debugging the Gender Gap
This Gear Up really resonated with me. I have experienced the bias that many women in the documentary have experienced. What I came away with is just a deeper understanding of the need to get involved in the movement to change the way women and various groups of people are treated in the industry.

Gear Up 3 - Working Styles
I am an ambient personality who tends to lean more on the extrovert side.
When things get difficult and I want to look at the bad side I allow myself a few minutes of pouting but try and quickly change my thinking to that of a growth mindset.

Gear Up 2 - Getting Better at Difficult Things
I look at the challenge before me and try and break things down into manageable chunks. When things get overwhelming, I try to reach out for help or to talk to someone about my challenge.
Look at your initial StrengthsFinder reflection that you completed in week 1 -- how have your perceptions of the top 5 themes changed?
....My perceptions have not changed.
How are you different today than when you first started at Turing? Where are you stronger now than on day 1?
....I am at an awkward phase...I find myself assessing on where I think I am at with all of this on a regular basis. It's up and down for me. I understand more than I did coming in. I am able to apply what I am learning and I can understand more of what the code is doing.
Considering how you describe these themes, how do you want others to see you as you continue to progress through Turing?
....As capable and evolving as a developer.
How might these themes play a role in describing your Turing story? Don't know.

###29 Behaviors that will make you an unstoppable programmer ..Get with someone who knows-This is key and it keeps you from wasting a whole lot of time trying to figure something out on your own. Analyze clues found in error messages-Developing this skill is paramount to writing and learning to code effectively. Google very Agressively-That's what I do and I must say I've gotten very good at finding solutions to my problems quickly. I have also gotten very good at phrasing my issues to garner different results with amazing answers.

###Getting Organized ..Checklist keep you accountable and ensure that no stone is left unturned. They are a backup in case you have forgotten something important. I agree with checklists and I use them in my life all the time. I think using them with school is important, given the volume of work/reading we are required to do. In order to stay on top of it all, a checklist is crucial. I have used Trello and it works well but I eventually went back to using my google c
