I honestly enjoy the fluency tests every class because it helps me to think and perceive things from different angles and I am more aware. of the creative thinking process.

I misperceived the goal of this challenge and honestly I think I should have listened and payed more attention to what was asked from me. I learnt many different things such as being empathetic in order to understand what the user  want to achieve through the gift-giving experience. ]]> 2019-03-26 11:34:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ftadros/srnislmtw3g5/wish/345189659 ftadros https://padlet.com/ftadros/srnislmtw3g5/wish/345194501 In class,  we were assigned  into groups and we were asked to build an airplane with the A4 paper distributed to each team and the winning team is is the team that is going to build an airplane that will fly the furthest distance.Our team as well as all of the others kept trying to make the perfect, typical image of a paper plane but our group was struggling so I was convinced that we should get out of the typical mindset of what a paper plane should be and I just crumbled the paper and claimed it as our plane.As a result, our team won the challenge and everyone was shocked because they kept opposing that ours was not a "plane" but this was how my team and I thought of how our plane should be . I honestly felt very happy because I thought outside of the box and it ended by paying off and resulted in our plane to fly the furthest]]> 2019-03-26 11:47:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ftadros/srnislmtw3g5/wish/345194501 ftadros https://padlet.com/ftadros/srnislmtw3g5/wish/345199064 2019-03-26 11:59:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ftadros/srnislmtw3g5/wish/345199064 ftadros https://padlet.com/ftadros/srnislmtw3g5/wish/345230163 The mindset quiz that we took class made me even more happy about myself and I discovered more about myself through this quiz and I was very pleased to see that I had a strong growth mindset and that I am more open to challenges and that I see failure as a growth opportunity and other aspects that help me grow more in my personal life.]]> 2019-03-26 13:03:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ftadros/srnislmtw3g5/wish/345230163 ftadros https://padlet.com/ftadros/srnislmtw3g5/wish/361369622 Being exposed to the strong Interest Inventory test was very useful and I'm very glad we took it. Even though at first I did not take it. seriously. and just wanted to finish it and get it over with I actually gained a lot and I'm glad. I took it seriously.I thought I knew what kind of job I wanted, the career I was going to pursue, I thought I already knew everything I was going to do after graduating but I've been exposed to a lot of different options that I did not. even think about. This made me rethink what my career would be and why I want to pursue it. I am the type of person who loves to do unusual things and I hate following the norm. I love creativity and challenges. When I took this test I was quite aware of how my results would turn out but I got surprised once I found out. what kind of jobs were preferred by my type of personality. After all, despite being viewed as an individual who realizes what she wants in life  and following the guidelines drawn by my mother due to trusting her experiences  and knowledge, I was not always this person who had strong connection with their wants in life rather I was directionless and lacked connection with my higher purpose in life this test enabled me to get in closer alignment with my personality and realize the impact that my interests had upon my career path and the potential that I have in areas close me and uncharted ones that I have never heard about. For instance, I realized that I am highly social and Artistic individual and that my interest in these aspects led me to where I am today in terms of my major and my current career. I am currently studying  architecture and working as a private teacher for 2 years and they both fulfill the interests I have been validated to have.

For example, I was observing how many women were in the streets, how many garbage bins and the litter thrown on the floor of the streets. This activity taught me to always observe everything around and along with the attention test changed the way I perceive things, improved my attention span and made me always wanting to observe everything around me. ]]> 2019-05-18 15:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ftadros/srnislmtw3g5/wish/361400019 ftadros https://padlet.com/ftadros/srnislmtw3g5/wish/361402053 On the first day of class we were asked to build the tallest tower with only 10 uncooked spaghetti and one marshmallow, a piece of string and some tape. Everyone failed to build a tower except one group who got lucky because we all thought "inside of the box"and were waiting for rules to follow because we were no longer able to work without Instructions. The solution to this challenge was actually very simple but the problem was that we were only thinking about the typical way of doing it so we ended up with a broken "tower".

This topic was actually the answer to a lot of questions that I seemed to have regarding my unsolved problems even outside of the course such as my weight gain or my studying process. I used to. look at the problem and try. and find a solution for it instead of thinking of thinking. what caused it and what would make it even worse.  This changed a lot in the prespective with which I view my problems

I loved everything in it, I identified as a "campaigner" and the details of my personality's description were actually too accurate and were even a bit creepy. It felt amazing.

But based on my results from the strong inventory profile test, MBTI guesstimate and career values I was even now more aware of the career that I want to pursue.
