Real Life Education

The top three characteristic for a successful SPA alumnus is to be assertive, mature, and dedicated/ passionate about everything they do and accomplish. These three characteristics are important because they are the foundation to a hardworking individual. Being assertive is important because you're not aggressive with your tacts, but you get your message across more gently without being passive either. This is important when trying to get something you need or obtaining something from another. Dedication and passion is important because you have to be committed to what ever you do. With committment comes passion. If you are dedicated to something, you work harder to keep and improve it. These traits will help you maintain what what ever you get. And maturity is the foundation of assertiveness and dedication. Without maturity you will not make it in the world. People don't like working with immature people, so getting a job will be nearly impssible for an immature person. Once you have gain maturity you have the most important trait in life.

These characteristic are somrtimes obtained from parents teaching you these things, but sometimes they are picked up from peer influences. There are very few case in which these characteristic  just came naturallly. These characteristic, usually,are traits that you grow into after time and life experiences.

I possess all three characteristic but i have obtained they all different ways. I am a nautrally assertive; nobody every taught me how to be it it`s just part of my natture. Matutity was fouced  upon me from a very early age  because of life experiences, and dedication is a trait my dad constantly installed in me. I believe passion is a trait that everybody has so by default it is natural, but there have been cases where my reers, parents, and life have taught me passion for different subjects

Writing Quickwrite

The problem is that we need to teach ourselves how to think critically and apply this information, and after that we we will be able to write it down. The quote is saying we could learn how to formulate the ideas in our head and gather the insight, putting it on paper or in words will come easily. If you could think it through, then you can write it down.

This relates to me because once I actually think out the process I can write ideas out easily. The hardest and most important part of learning how to be a good writer is actually learning how to be a good thinker. Once I get my outlines completed and my thought process has been fukfilled, structuring it in ink is easy.
