1) Tenaciousness is a skill. What are the behaviors that you have used to keep up with the requirements of this course?
I would say the two biggest skills or behaviors I have used in this class thus far is scheduling and being proactive as well as focusing on time management.
2) Tenaciousness is also about attitude. Talk about a moment or two when you felt like "giving up." What pulled you through? Do you feel like you've developed a tenacious attitude during the past two months? What experience or experiences most contributed to this?
I really felt like giving up when you have to do the three interviews three weeks in a row. It's a lot to do week after week plus you WILL get denied almost without question and it gets annoying. I think those experiences have helped though at least as far as not being so nervous and just saying hello and being warm to people.
3) Three tips. What are three tips you would offer next semester's student about (1) fostering the skills that support tenacity and (2) developing the 'tenacious mindset' ?
I would start early and stay ahead like try to at least set up most activities early in the week instead of doing it all over the weekend. Second I would just get over any fears you have of talking to others or presenting. Get over it because thats the real world and this class no one cares if you fail its to grow so be bold. Finally just go for it, I did every exercise beside one but try to do it with less fear and more tenacity.
I think you are exactly right in your half way reflection post. This class requires you to be proactive in your studies and to keep track of all your assignments. I felt the same way about giving up when it came to the interviews. You have to be brave and have no fears in talking to different types of people multiple times.
