Manukura Reflective Writing

 Since joining the Manukura trial class, I have become more of an active learner and have been more in tune with my work. Back in my old class, I didn't ever want to do the work. But now I am excited to work and am happier to do it. I sometimes was behind in my work in other classes but now I am never behind. This class has made me feel happier to come to school and happier to come to classes. I would change a few things about the Manukura trial. We could include more science-related subjects and English-related subjects too. I feel that we have been missing out on science a lot since joining the trial class. So that is one thing that I think we could improve on.

Qualities Tournament

 

I think Loyalty came out on top because I think loyalty is the best thing you can have. You can have someone who is kind and honest but still betray you as a leader, friend, or partner. Loyalty means you will never be betrayed. I think I could probably improve the way I live and use these qualities a bit more.

An Inspiring Leader

 

The leadership circle

This week, my class had to complete a task about the leadership circle. We had to rate ourselves on a scale of 1-100 in each category. After I had filled out the whole piece of paper, I was surprised by what I had found out about myself. I turned out to be very controlling but had low systems awareness. But I wasn't surprised about being really achieving because I am really focused on my goals. Overall, this task has told me that I need to be more selfless and lead for others and not just for myself.

Personality test

 

I recently took a personality test and was surprised that it said I have The Influencer type personality. The test said that I talk in a cool, calm manner. In my eyes, I'm not calm or cool when I talk, and I don't really enjoy the challenge of meeting new people. I'm a bit more shy and like to keep to myself.

Leadership

 I believe that leadership is when you believe in and support your team as much as you can no matter the outcome. Your job as a leader is to lift your team up and help them achieve their maximum potential, individually and as a group. You don't need to be the best at anything to be a leader, you just have to be good at bringing everyone together.
