People also love to tell me that I should pursue a career in the makeup industry because I am patient and have a relatively steady hand - I also feel like creativity plays a large role in the positive influence makeup has had in my life. In a way, it has allowed me to exercise my perfectionism and control so that I can remain grounded.]]> 2020-06-16 20:28:32 UTC https://padlet.com/5992041/yiewq9a8io4t9kno/wish/629552236 5992041 https://padlet.com/5992041/yiewq9a8io4t9kno/wish/629594014 In my perspective, I have always been very hard on myself when it comes to analyzing weaknesses but I definitely agree that time management is an area I need to improve on. I am a large procrastinator and it holds me back from being as successful as I desire to be - especially when it comes to communication and initiative. Lastly, I need to get out of my comfort zone in order to encourage confidence and leadership roles onto myself because my shyness has ruined many positive opportunities.]]> 2020-06-16 21:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/5992041/yiewq9a8io4t9kno/wish/629594014 5992041 https://padlet.com/5992041/yiewq9a8io4t9kno/wish/629604493 Though my program does not offer co-op or an internship, I will seek out my professors and ask them to recommend me possible jobs or volunteer work so I can gain experience in the field I am going into. To gain professional attention, I believe it is necessary to think outside of the box and take upon leadership roles - university can help me to do that through actively participating in group discussions and group work.]]> 2020-06-16 21:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/5992041/yiewq9a8io4t9kno/wish/629604493 5992041 https://padlet.com/5992041/yiewq9a8io4t9kno/wish/629610800 In terms of threats, I feel as though time is a huge obstacle for me because there is just not enough of it in my days - however, it is important that I start to set priorities straight in order to use my time more wisely. My fear of failure can also tend to get in the way due to a lack of confidence but I am hoping to change these things about myself. Lastly, the current worldwide pandemic is something affecting my external environment as it is holding people and businesses back from doing the things they are supposed to be doing.]]> 2020-06-16 21:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/5992041/yiewq9a8io4t9kno/wish/629610800
