consideration for future decisions

Everyone has a plan or goal set for themselves in life and a little road map of how they think they will get there. However, it's almost certain that your road map you set out for yourself to navigate towards your goal or dream is not how your journey will actually occur. You can only plan so much but something inevitably goes wrong and then how you get past that blockage alters your journey, and for some can even alter their final destination. Along this journey it can take upwards of 15 years to achieve and the fact it's a long-term plan people either get discouraged or try to find shortcuts, fail and never try again.

How I deal with conflict in future

I assume everyone has been involved in or experienced some form of conflict from another person. With all my past experiences I've been a peace keeper or trying to defuse a situation with logic or explaining what will happen if people carry on to continue their opinions towards both parties. If I have to engage a personal conflict with another individual then I will confront them in person face-to-face to see what issues are involved. My goal is to either disperse any negative energy they have towards me or once I speak my side and share my opinions I will intentionally not engage with the conflict so it will come to a natural end. Majority of conflicts between two people is just a lack of communication. I'm very vocal about my thoughts and opinions and I tend to not dismiss what I say just because someone decides to challenge it. These types of conflicts are easily resolved and are usually petty while some people's personality traits would suggest they'd prefer to engage a conflict by resolving it physically with violence which to me shows a lack of strength.

How I perform in group work

I like to plan a schedule of all the agenda so we can complete a task efficiently. If I'm not satisfied with a persons contribution towards the group project or I feel altercations can be made to improve the overall standard then I wouldn't hesitate to share my idea or express a solution. I tend to disregard peoples feelings as such as the group project is based on all our work combined so I'd prefer getting a more substantial mark and someone not have as nice of an opinion of me then getting a lower grade because I decided someones opinion of me is more important then an assessment. In my previous group assignments it has been my suggestions as to how the work was evenly delegated among everyone. I have thin patience with people from the group when they don't do their part or it isn't at a good standard, even when they're a foreign student and I know English is such a difficult language. When doing a presentation I notice majority of students are nervous, whether that be lack of confidence or lack of material revised, but I'm finding myself constantly re-assuring group members. When I talk it is filled with confidence as if I talk without it then what I'm saying doesn't come across as I want.

Gardner’s theory of intelligence

I found the results to the test eerily similar to how I like to think of myself or how I’ve been described by others. My 3 dominant intelligent types where  Interpersonal,  Bodily-Kinesthetic and  Logical-Mathematical. My thought process is logical and I usually dislike topics with beliefs or topics with no definitive answer. I like science or logical subjects where you learn or understand a process or method and it stays reliable. The tied least relevant intelligence types where Linguistic, Visual-Spatial and Naturalistic. I would agree with these being less significant within my thought process's and intelligence overall. I don't engage in art, nature or poetry. I don't often find the need to express myself publicly other then some slight singing or humming. Some people seek to appear different within society or want to stand out and be remembered as different but that isn't my goal. Overall I'm happy with the results and standby them as they represent my thought process and just how i generally function when making decisions. I think logically and try not to let my emotions rule over my opinions as my emotions can change and therefor so will my opinion if I was to have different intelligence characteristics.

CAO personal statement

I'm a full time student and class rep on the access foundation programme in DIT. One of my strong electives is physics. I'm devoted to my education by doing the leaving certificate twice as well as this course. I currently do maths grinds for people on the course and a higher level student in secondary school.

I have past experience with piloting a plane with an instructor. Being a pilot has been a passion for majority of my life. I'm fully healthy with no disabilities and passed the air corps health test last year. I've been in contact with people in the field as my cousin is a cockpit technician in England as well as a relationship studying business management in aviation. All this knowledge continues to fuel my passion to become a successful pilot.

Nutrition, Diet, Sleep & Memory

To eat or not to eat, I ask myself this every day about food that is both healthy and unhealthy. I'm glad to say that apart from lunch and dinner I won't have more then two snacks a day and only one of those are unhealthy. My daily routine usually shocks a lot of people I tell because it starts off with me confessing my lack of breakfast. I don't have one. I wake up at 8 o'clock and I'll only drink water until 1 pm when I have my lunch.I regularly make my sandwich for lunch in the morning before i leave for the day but Sometimes I have been known to resorting to go to a deli in a shop to buy my lunch due to either rushing or lack of interest in the morning. I'm not waking up at last second and speeding around the house to rush into college all chaotic i give myself 30 minutes before leaving with a total of 9 hours sleep. By sheer willpower I make by brain a sponge and just soak up everything in the lectures I attend and anything I think is useful will stay otherwise I squeeze out unnecessary information out of it. Overall what I do works for me.

Time Management

It is the most important unimportant characteristic needed for college. I think time management just means how to prioritise certain tasks in an order to get them all done on time of when they’re due and eliminating the most important or easiest ones first. My decisions on time management needs to be improved but knowing what needs prioritising is good. It’s hard to justify why I disregard my needs for something more enjoyable or distract myself from my priorities. What doesn’t help is taking the easy road when I know I still can afford not to start even though it would be more beneficial to do so then. In saying that I know I work better when there is some stress or pressure because I take it more serious and more is at stake so my concentration is higher. I’m a critical learner when I need to so I’ve adapted to the method of learning and doing assignments. It sounds unlogical but it has worked this far in my experience of doing assignments so unless I need to I realistically won’t change my habits unless something drastic occurs or I get an epiphany.
