Slingshot Vs Bazooka

Throughout the past couple of months my fellow peers and I have been studying the topic ‘challenge’ and how it affects our lives and people around us. In our everyday lives we are confronting challenges, some are as small as walking up a few steps, and some are larger and more challenging that could be life or death circumstances.

Learning how to work effectively in a group situation is key to success in many professions as well as in social situations. Groups vary from each other based on the individuals that make up each group, all of us belong to various groups at one time or another. The roles that we fulfill vary from group to

Planning and organizing skills, I enjoy figuring out what is required in getting a job done and working out how and when it can be done. This can be seen in how I develop a personal study timetable and managing time around work and studies.

Challenge means ‘A task or situation that tests someone's abilities’ (Google Dictionary) and David Suzuki has experienced such tests many times in his life. David was born in Vancouver on the 24th of March 1936. He is a third generation Canadian. His grandparents were from Japan and his many life challenges were due to his nationality because of the attack in Pearl Harbour brought upon by Japan. Because of David’s nationality, he, his parents and his three sisters were taken to an internment camp where is troubles began. But despite all of his troubles David went on to become the “greatest living Canadian” (National Review of Medicine, 2008).

My creativity enables me to see things in a different way, a way that may make things simpler or makes them go smoother. I am also very willing to try new ideas as I like to hear what others have to suggest. For example, something may not be working out the way that it was meant to and I can accept that and try any new ideas brought up to me. Listening is also important because someone may point out something that I never realized, and criticism goes along with that. I can take criticism well, and I even encourage it. I am always looking to better myself and it helped build me into the musician and person I am today. Furthermore, I do not fear making mistakes. Mistakes are how we learn, and we will never get anywhere if mistakes are never made.

When I am writing narratives, I use many different characteristics to describe the characters, and when I was watching Ted Talks and doing the chart, it made me think about the speaker’s features and how I can use them to describe my characters better. Also, I use my time efficiently I don’t fool around and talk to others. I get right to my work and complete it. I accept writing criticism very well too, I use it to improve my writing. Another strength that I have in writing is I have excellent spelling, and I punctuate very well. Likewise in writing, I also have my strengths in reading. While reading a novel, I can illustrate what is going on in the book or the story in my mind which helps me understand that story more. It helps me to ‘get into’ the book. Also, another strength that I have in reading is that I can annotate and get information out of books very well. That, coupled with the fact that I am very good at figuring out hidden messages or finding the theme of the book. Notes I take from the novel help when I am flipping back through the book to support my theme or message with evidence.

Why isn’t the underhand toss used more in sports like basketball? Based upon research, the underhand shot is actually more effective than overhand because it obscures less of the rim. The article “Everyone Should Shoot Granny-Style supports this statement. The article states: “The key to a successful foul shot lies in the arc of the ball—in general, the higher the better.” When you shoot overhand, the ball arrives at the basket at a much lower angle and is actually more likely to hit the back of the rim. On the other hand, shooting “granny-style” places the ball at a higher trajectory, which increases the chance of making a shot. So, shooting underhand is actually more effective because it gives the ball more room inside the rim. All in all,

Time Management - I find myself to be a poor time keeper, and my general awareness of time could be better.

The things I will have done differently in the group was to use my time wisely. I believe because we were on a time frame, I tended to rush things just to say okay where done. Also, more support and trust at a point of time I was kind of second guessing another idea. I feel that you have to have trust in your group member to make it effective.
