Failed in test tried to recover from it.
Resilience
My whole life through meeting and having relationships with many friends.
Empathy
I learned how initiate events and plans within my family and school, and improved my overall initiative skills in those places.
Initiative
I think I was able to achieved to be initiative through the exams. Every exams, I wasn't able to do as good as I wished for, but I didn't stop by that but reflected in the exam and though about what worked well, and what I need to develop. Every exams, I set a higher goal which can lead to my own development.
Initiative
My understanding improved the more I tried my best and took more ownership of my own work of studies and club. Especially in biology, where I improved my understanding the more I studied and asked the teacher questions, taking ownership and responsibility of my studies.
Understanding
In my science classes, connections between topics are necessary to understand the topic fully. Through studying, I have built habits of making connections between topics and overall deepening my understanding of science and life in general.
Understanding
When i was working with my group, my group wasn't as successfully at communicating and we had to rush at the end of the due date for the project. However, for other groups, they were successful by diving the work and having good communication, which I thought that was good teamwork.
Teamwork
I think the resilience is related to the initiative, but after exams, I was able to set a new goal for the next step, and I was looking at higher things every time.
Resilience
I think I acquired to the greatest degree in resilience through the Koufusai Preparation after the summer holiday. As I helped in the preparation and planning team of the class event, I faced several troubles such as not having much time left, different opinions within class, and the financial aspects. Through this experience, I learned the importance of having responsibility and communication, which built my resilience.
