CEDO565 Week 1

I don't have a great deal to say about my leadership at my school. I guess I need to stand up more and be a leader. I've only been at my current job for 3 years and I lay low. It's not because I don't feel confident, but there was just to many things going on. I watched and listened a lot!!! I wanted to get me feet wet and feel things out before I started to put myself out there a great deal. I think every year that goes by I'll come out of my shell more and more. I want more responsibilities, but I also work at a private school that is fairly small. I don't feel like there are many opportunity to "lead". We'll see what happens this coming school year. I just feel young and new at my job.


I have to blog about the surveys we took...................I just feel strongly about it this week.
I think this weeks assignments helped me learn a great deal about myself. It's not often that I take a survey about myself and my personality. I don't think I have done one in over 5 years. It was interesting and informative to say the least. Haha I did enjoy it though. I really liked doing the surveys because I'm all about improving myself. I'm a little bit of a perfectionist. I wouldn't say I'm over the top, but I set goals that are pretty high. I'm not hard on myself if I don't meet all of my goals 100%, but I do think it's healthy to have goals in all areas of your life. The surveys helped me realize that I need to be less judgmental of others. I was a little shocked by this, but hey the results don't lie. I felt bad that I scored high, but that just gives me something to work on and change.
I wasn't surprised that I scored extremely low on the imagination portion of the leadership virtues survey. I'm not an imaginative person at all!!! I'm more of a realistic person. Haha
I never like cartoons as a child.........maybe I was never an imaginative person.........I never had imaginary friends either. Hahaha..........Ok......all jokes aside.....I really liked that assignment and I'm glad I took it. I learned a great deal about myself and what I need to do to make myself a better person. I think if you don't look at your weak areas and change them..........you'll never grow.

WHOOOO HOOOOO I'm done!! Well........I'm sure I'll need to make some changes alone the way, but it feels good to complete another class. The portfolio has been a great deal of work, but it looks great. I'm glad to show off all the hard work I've done! The pace of the class was good and I was able to get things done on time. I really jumped in early and was able to sit back in the end. I had a hard time coming up with a project, but I thought of something last minute. I hope it works out ok..........but we'll see in our next class.
