# Pick out 3 behaviors that resonate with you in the list and describe why they resonate with you in a reflection (4-6 sentences).
### Understand that code is cheap.
> There is a lot to learn and I can't get stuck on mistakes that I might have with it. I have found while doing pre-work that if I start over with a fresh line of code or if I look at other peoples examples it makes me feel like I can learn a better approach and that my code will improve the more I practice. With how fast the technology is improving, I will never be able to execute code perfectly, but as long as it's readable and it works, (highlight the importance of WORKS) then that is what matters.
### Act as a leader, not a boss.
> I prefer to work with people, not command them. Helping people is something I really enjoy doing. I feel if you're around a "boss" then you might not be as willing to share your ideas or knowledge. Giving off that "boss" vibe to people can have a negative impact on a team. Having a leader, or being a leader, means that the group you are leading or being a part of will have a direction and purpose, and (hopefully) that direction is forward!
### Learn under pressure.
> Pressure is how I prefer to learn. If I feel like something is months away, I will have too much time to overthink the possibilities. If I am under pressure or close to a deadline; I don't have time to think about anything other than getting it completed properly. In a learning environment it's especially helpful because it helps me create a (much shorter) time line and to-do list for studying the learning material. As long as I have resources to help facilitate the process, I feel like it's when I'm under pressure that I am the most productive.

# Write a reflection (4-6 sentences) on the benefits of a checklist and how an organizational system such as a checklist might help you first as a student and later as a full-time developer.
> A checklist is a great organizational system built to ensure that proper steps are taken to improve goals or obtain desired results. They improve memory by giving reference and requiring attention. Helps with consistency and reduces failure of tasks especially in cases where time management is key, and, of course, helps ensure completeness of tasks in repetitive environments.

# What is your impression of strengths-based development? What questions do you have about this kind of development?
> Strengths-based development has a place in any job. It helps create an environment of innovative thinking and differing perspectives. It focuses more on positive aspects of people and how they contribute to a company or team, and less on what they have to improve on. I am curious what other tools to help in the development of a strengths-based approaches in education are being created or worked on.

# What do you feel are your top strengths? How do you know?
> I've been told I work very well under pressure, and that I am easy to talk to when it comes to people asking me for advice. I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't been told such things at just about any job I've ever had by team leads and managers.

# How do you hope to develop your strengths for your new career in software development?
> Well, from what I have heard; this program will be great for improving those stengths by giving me a 7 month timeline to completely overhaul my lifestyle into a new career (working well under pressure!), as well as having a good sense of community to work with, talk to, and help solve problems.
