StrengthsQuest: This was one of the first assignments we completed for EHE Survey and I thought my top strength was very reflective of me (Harmony), as I am alway one to try and find the best in everything, go with the flow, and establish cooperation among all people. I think the meaning of all this about harmony and my other strengths is that everyone has different attributes that they can offer in a group setting and that we can use these to our advantage. This is obviously very important for academic projects and that aspect as everyone can offer some unique perspective and they can provide help in all sorts of different ways. Socially, I believe we seek out people that share some of the same strengths as us but also people who are strong in some of our weaker categories so they can have our back when we falter.

For the BBC Book Reflection I personally thought the book was fairly entertaining, I certainly learned a lot about the struggles of those of lower social economic status living in so called "food deserts" and there difficulty to even be able to buy healthy food. Unfortunately we weren't able to talk about this book too much, I think we could've spent weeks on in. However we did complete some engaging activities where we had to provide healthy meals for families based on there low income. I thought this was good insight into the struggles of the less talked about Americans struggling to provide food for their families.

Finally, we also worked on a dream job assignment where we had to learn more about the jobs that we wanted to get out of our respective majors. More importantly we learned about the career path to each job which is something most people hadn't really looked into too much. I this was really helpful for most people to try and turn these dream jobs into a reality.
