Begin Your Journal

Welcome to Old Dominion University – WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

Students should answer these five questions from Skripak (2016) in the beginning of their journal:

  • Am I a self-starter? How well do I follow through on my ideas? I would consider myself a self-starter because I am always wanting to learn more things. So I try to set aside time to learn things and try new things. For example, when I started my Photography business I did that all by myself I had to learn a lot of things on my own when it comes to editing and other things. I could have just only done the things I already knew.
  • How well do I get along with different personalities? I believe that I get along with different personalities very well. Growing up I moved a couple of times and lived in a different country, so I have experienced a lot of different people as well as personalities. And I’ve learned how to necessarily change the way that I am but take into consideration that me and this other person are not the same.
  • How good am I at making decisions? When making decisions I often tend to overthink and second-guess things. But when I do finally come up with a decision is usually a good well thought-out one. I am not one to be okay with making mistakes or making the wrong decision in this case, so if I am not close to 100% sure about it then I will not go through with it.
  • Do I have the physical and emotional stamina? Explain. I think that I have great physical stamina. I am a person that can run off little to no sleep and be able to perform just as well. I’m one to fight through any physical hardships that I have because it could be worse. When it comes to emotional stamina, I believe that it could be better. It is definitely not as good as my physical stamina. There are times when it’s just not my day, and I might feel overwhelmed. It’s definitely something that I can work on in the future.
  • How well do I plan and organize? In the past, I’ve noticed that I plan and organize as well as I can. A lot of times I am thinking about how I’m going to do things, which is a part of that planning aspect, and try and make sure I have everything that I need Depending on what it is I am sometimes organized. I might have it organized at first but then as time passes they get a little out of whack. For example, as I mentioned, I am a photographer/videographer and my previous high school coach wants me to do a documentary series on his upcoming team. I have been trying to figure out how I want everything to go and try to be as organized as possible so that when it comes time to edit, I can have everything where I want it and have it easily assessable.
  • How will my entrepreneurial efforts affect my family? (Skripak, 2016). I think my entrepreneurial efforts will affect my family in a good way. If I do things right as the future goes on, then I could be looking at financial stability a lot faster than some of my family. One thing that has always been a goal of mine was to be able to do things for my family because growing up they’ve done so much for me. So if my entrepreneurial efforts continue being good, then that is something I can achieve.
