This activity reminded me the importance of keep my social media "clean". Even if I can hide completely my social media from other people, including potential employers, I reminded how important is to be careful with the content that I publish or share. Moreover, I worked in hiding the most information of my accounts that I could. The privacy settings were modified and I could change them so that only my friends, or just me, could see some things in my profile, including my personl information, who can send me a friend request, see my publications, or even the content that I consume, etc.

Thanks to this activity about finding new interests, I could reconnect with myself through new activities that I didn't think that could be so important or pleasant for me. I am in love with every form of art, and if I have the opportunity to learn each one of them, I am excited and glad to do it. I think that art is the best way that we have to portray anything we want, from feelings, to landscapes, moments, emotions, etc. I also discovered a new part of me that wants to help people from another point of view, and with other resources. Donating blood could save lives, and I want to be part of that. When I was there donating my blood, I just asked myself, if I am healthy, why not take advantage of that to help others to be healthy too.

Since I has a family member with a delicate health situation, I went to donate blood. The thing is that I have never done it before because I was afraid and the only moment that I tried to do it, I got rejected because I didn't have enough weight to donate. Now, my family needed donors, and I tried again and I could finally donate. After this unplanned experience, I realized that I want to be a volunteer blood donor until I can't do it anymore.

I always has some kind of curiosity about doing photography, especially because my dad used to do it (sometimes still doing it) and he took beautiful photos. However, I never learned from him and neither do I have a professional camera, instead, I used my phone camera to take some photos of a roadtrip that I did recently and some photos of my cat, who is my favorite model.

This semester I enjoyed the Embroidery Club at university. It was something that I always thought it was one of the most beautiful ways of art that, at least in Ecuador, is very common to see. I decided to sign up to the club and started to learn from the basic stitches and then, we proceeded to a sunflower in which we put in practice all the previous stitches that were taught to us.

I started to knit with needles because my cat broke his blanket, which actually was a scarf of mine in the past. So, I wanted to rebuild it, but I didn't know where or how to star, so, I searched some videos on YouTube to learn how to do the stitch that I needed, and then I cintinued knitting.

Since I did the activity "Contrasting Jobs", I realized the kind of work that I would love to have. Because of that, I started to ask myself what is my ideal business, that's why I chose this activity. Then, doing this I realized that I really want to make this dream come true. I think that my career is perfect to combine with other kind of things that I enjoy too much, such as art. Thanks to this activity I not just thought about "what is my dream" but I thought how I can make it true and how could it work in the future. It helped me to know this part of me that wants to do some different things to make my profession being marked with my own essence.

Doing this activity I discovered what could be the ideal job for me. It helped me to put in front of me (literally) the pros and cons of each job that I thought I would like when I got graduated. Then, it made easy for me to put in the balance the things and tasks of the three jobs, and think if that is something that goes with the way I am, my interests, dreams, skills and necessities that I have. I realized that (likely definitely) the criminology area is not made for me, or at least not entirely for me. Maybe I can dedicate a little part of my time, but it will not be my main profession. Also, I realized that I would love to work in my own space, as private practice, because I need a lot of freedom to make my ideal business work, but I recognize that, at the beginning, I may need to work in a hospital or another kind of enterprise to learn and acquire enough experience to make my ideal business come true.

With this activity I discovered that some of the jobs that I was interestd for are not like I was expecting. I also lost some fears from other jobs. But most important, I reaffirmed my interest for the clinical area and my passion for the neuropsychology. Also, I found out new motivations to improve my skills and I looked for other ways to do my work, apply my career and even learn more form other perspectives. I am more aware now that the practice is the most important to do a successful work, that I have to take advantage of the opportunities that I have through my life, because that will teach me not just how to put in practice the knowledges of the career, but it could help me to continue looking for the things that I love the most and that I am most capable of.

Thanks to this activity I discover that one of the most powerful tools that I had inside myself is the passion for the art. I realized that every time that I am doing some kind of art, I feel great, and is easier for me to return to the present and focus on the activities that I am doing at the moment, and even to organize the activities that I have to or I want to do in the future. It is like a tool to calm me down in the most difficults and overwhelming moments in my life. I discover that this passion is more than that, but it is a powerful resource that I just had to learn how to use it at my favor and to develop my best.

With this activity I rediscovered myself because I paid attention to the details of the things that I was doing daily. This allowed me to look for those little things that make me happy and fulfilled. At the same time, being aware of those things helped me to understand what are the kind of things that brings me the greatest satisfaction and that contribute to my development, both professional and personal growth. This information that I got from this activity helps me to look for those jobs that allow me to do similar things than the ones that I made in this exercise. Thus, I can make good decisions looking for the environments that just motivate me to get always the best of me.

With this activity I learned what is a digital portfolio because I really didn't know before. I also had to update my account on Linkedin because I had already have it, but it was forgotten and with almost nothing of information on it. Thus, I learned the truly importance of keep it updated every moment and also to be checking on it because sometimes people that is looking for my skills could contact to me and I don't want to lose an opportunity because of my carelessness to this account. I can also say that while I was creating my portfolio and actualizing my Linkedin, I realized how much I have done through my academic and professional life. It was stunning because I have never stop to think about all the activities that I did, and doing this activity I find that there was a lot of things that I have done, a lot of talent through myself, and a lot of experience to share.

Doing the Flower's Exercise allowed me to have a deeper process of introspection. This made me remind some important points of myself, like my personality, wishes, and even the things that I do not want for my life, in any field of it (work, friends, family, education, etc.). I think this last thing was the most important for me in this exercise, because I am always thinking about the things that I love the most, what I want to do (and that is when I got lost), what makes me feel comfortable, and what I am capable to do. However, I realized that I never take some time to think about the things that I definitely don't want for me or my life, and I also realized how much important is to think about that too because it helps to dismiss options (in any field) that simply don't go with my needs or requirements. It also helps to recognize and respect my own boundaries with respect to the things, facts, situations, or even people that I let to stay in my life.

Creating my SMART Goals helped me to calm my anxiety a little, specially because I am about to graduate from University and I am trying to find what am I going to do after that. So, this activity, above it made me organize some of my purposes, it made me remind that I do not have to jump direct to the final results. It means that I can go "little by little" and in that way I can get closer to my purposes, moreover, it is more useful to do it in that way. I think that is the most important thing about this activity: that I could find an exercise that calm me down when I got desperate because I want to achieve something and I do not know where to start or how to do it.
