Module 4 Goals

List your longterm goal(s) of what you want to accomplish by the end of module 4

By the end of Mod 4, I hoppe to have a solid network of individuals who work in the industry that I can turn to for questions and advice during my Job search. I will be having my first child at the end of Mod 4 and hope to have a really solid idea of companies of interest to me so that come the new year I would have a few job offers to consider.

In this section, break down your longterm goal into smaller goals that you want to work on each week and/or day

Enthusiastic, creative, inclusive/welcoming
People who have a desire to learn, to help themselves, people who want to get the most out of life and they're personal situations

In regards to my workflow throughout this Mod, I would say that work with my teammates was a combination of both a waterfall and agile approch. In each pair project I had we started out with a clear outline of what we needed to accomplish to reach our end goals. It was helpful to use tools such as git-hub "issues" and waffle.io to keep track of chunks that were broken out to be worked on to get closer to MVP. Iterating through our work and new components for our projects seemed to go well since we were constantly refactoring as we worked along to the finish there were no major overhauls or huge hurdles in the way of progression. Something I would do differently moving forward is breaking things down into even smaller more simplified pieces, even if it means tackling one simple function at a time. Sometimes it seems that even in breaking out what we believe are small components there tends to be much more involved in the process and m

As a pair programmer I am doing well at keeping open communication with my partners, and being receptive to ideas. I am using my strengths by being flexible and empathetic towards those I work with, and keeping organized with tasks at hand.

I would like to continue to develop my strengths of organization and leadership and gain more confidence in my atmosphere as a web-developer.

I would like to continue to develop my confidence in pairs and be more vocal about my own thoughts and ideas even when I am unsure of what the outcome will be. I would like to continue to work on learning from my partners and asking for help when I feel like I am sturggling to grasp a certain concept.

I prepared for the conversation by setting up a time in advance that worked with both my partners scehdule and my own that we could share our feedback in private. I also took some time to reflect and write down some key points of my experience working with my partner throughout our project, as well as observations I made about work-flow. I felt that having key points to discuss would make the conversation flow more smoothly.

I was pleased with the outcome of our conversation. It was easy to keep an open communication flow throught the conversation to which we could both express our thoughts back and fourth. The part that was most difficult for me was being able to express clearly where I thought there was room for improvement in our workflow, although since we did have an open dialouge going on we

I reached out to Kelsey Dutton on 7/17/17 via email
She responded to my email and we made a plan to meet for coffee and discuss some questions I had about the industry and being a woman in the tech world. Our first meeting went well I felt very comfortable as Kelsey was receptive to my questions and concerns about my career change decision. After our first meeting we discussed planning future meetings to discuss further career questions and my mentor sharing advice on networking.
I feel like this relationship will benefit my personal development, as I will have someone I feel comfortable sharing my thoughts with about the industry who can share personal insights and experiences with me. In addition I believe this relationship can lead to introductions or connections with other professionals in the industry that can also be of guidance in my future career decisions and development.

	*Say "I don't know".
	Being able to say "I don't know" is something I find very important whether or not you are learning and new to something or
	if you are considered a professional. There is always that moment you run into what is a new situation that you may not know
	how to approach for the best solution. I was not always comfortable with saying I don't know, out of fear that maybe I should know.
	I realized over time that I will never have all the answers or know everything in any given subject, nor do I want to. It is best to
	constantly run into the "I don't know" moment, and learn something new! Once you can be comfortable saying that you don't know, that
	simple addmission allows the opportunity to learn quicker and probably discover more resorces than you would if you let a fear of
	imperfection or lack of knowledge get in the way and maybe never truly know.

	## Strengths and story-telling reflection:
	Looking back at my stregths finder I see that my perceptions of my top five themes has stayed the same for the most part but increased in intensity in a way. In my current situation I can see my stregths at play more than I could when I first started at Turing. At that time I was in a life situation in which I was comfortable and familiar with. When I first got the results of my strengths finder I could not really see the relevance in the same way that I can see them now. Each theme has continually resonated with me as a student at Turing.
	I am substatially different today than I was when I first started at Turing, I have been taken out of a situation in life in which I was comfortable and it did not require much effort to get my work done and enjoy my time off. Now once again as a student I am in a totally different mind set. As a student I have always been quick to catch on and good grades took effort on my behalf, although I did not ever feel it was a grand strug
