Learning Plan 2. The Sequel. El Numero Dos

What is your long term goal and/or career pathway?

I am hoping to use the skills I get from this course to get my foot in the door in the development space, eventually jumping into game and app development.

What do you think your biggest strengths and limitations will be in Bootcamp?

Re evaluating what I wrote in sprint 2, I think i have the same limitations being distractions but I have also grown through my core studies and have learnt that I need to manage my distractions and also can flip them into a positive by using them to take a breather and come back with fresh eyes. I think the intensity of bootcamp will not allow time for distraction and I have been working on managing distractions.

What non-technical skills - human skills - would you like to see developed in yourself while at Dev Academy?

I think personally I would benefit from more communication coaching, sometimes I talk too much, other times not enough. Also getting better at reflection I think would help me just as a human being.

What do you think your biggest non-technical challenge at Bootcamp will be?

I think the biggest challenge will be getting settled and getting to know the strangers that I will be going through this experience with. This could also be a fun and exciting opportunity to meet new people. But I tend to be quiet around new people until I feel comfortable.

What are your expectations from the Bootcamp team?

Guidance and maybe help when it is needed.

What are your expectations of yourself on Bootcamp

To push myself both mentally and socially. I will ask for help when I need it and not struggle quietly in a corner. I make a commitment here that I will do my best to work super productively by focusing and to be mindful of others.
