The professional attributes are attributes that every person with a job should display. It is most important to teachers because we are models to the children we teach. Children watch those important figures in their lives carefully. Not only do children observe but so do our supervisors, co-workers and principals making professional attributes very important. I believe I possess both strengths and weaknesses in the professional attribute list.

I will excel in patience, tactfulness, and with-it-ness. I am a very patient person and it takes alot to get me riled up. I am a very tactful person who has always been able to state my position or opinion in a very diplomatic way. With-it-ness has always been easy for me as I have always been able to adapt to my environment and blend in when needed.

The attributes that I will have to work on is organization. I lead a very busy life. With three different websites and an email address to check daily, I sometimes have problems remembering when due dates come around. To help me with this I have purchased an organizer so I can keep everything central and remind myself do complete assignments. I will also have to work on the attribute of being a reflective practitioner. I always remember to reflect and see what went wrong or right with things but seem to forget to change what went wrong. To help me with this I have decided that I will reflect and immediately change anything that may not have been correct or may make things go more smoothly.

At anyrate I am excited that I have entered Quest 2 and am that much closer to being a teacher. I plan on working as hard as possible and being the best that I can be.
