Self Reflection and creating My Story
## 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 struggle. As a turing student, I feel more overwhelmed than I have before. I am enjoying everything I am learning but it is a grand struggle for me to feel like I am keeping afloat. I tend to be a perfectionist to some degree, and set high standards for myself so it has been difficult for me to feel like I don't belong or that I may not be catching on as quickly as I had hoped even with all the extra time and effort I am putting in. I am stronger than I was on day one, because I feel that no matter how difficult this feels and how much I may at times feel like I am not as proficient as others, success at Turing is something I strongly feel is a possibility for me. I was not as strong in my belief of that when I started at Turing or even my first couple days/week.
I would like others to perceive my strengths of empathy, activator and arranger throughout my time at Turing. I would like my community at Turing to see me as someone they can depend on and go to with struggles or to share succeesses. I also want others to understand my flexibility and go getter attitude.
In future mods I envision myself becoming more confident of the skills I am learning on a daily basis, and able to share my new knowledge with incoming students in lower mods as well as others in my cohort. I see myself becoming more involved in the community and comming to acheive the success I set out to accomplish! I see the story of my time at Turing ending in bliss.
## My Story: draft
I am a student at Turing, on a journey to open my mind and learn all that I can and do what it takes to become a proficient Front End Developer and take those skills to produce amazing work. I am a former Registered Nurse, and while I loved being able to help others with my strength of empathy I found myself with a strong desire to do something else as a lifelong career. I was desiring a change in my life and wanted a hard set of skills that I could employ creativity and keep my mind enthralled on a daily basis, and still have the ability to help others through my work. I chose to come to Turing after deciding that I wanted to pursue web development as a new career path, because of the reputation and mission that I learned of during my research. While I am a student here I hope to accomplish what I set out to accomplish before arriving at Turing, success in developing the knowledge and skills it takes to be an amazing Front End Developer. I hope to build on the skills I had when I arrived at Turing and become a stronger individual in the process.
