Exercise Strength

My strength in the physical dimension in exercise because my job is physical, which involves frequently lifting objects and moving around. When the weather permits I bike to work to save on gas. I consider this dimension to be not particularly important because most of these aspects are automatic. Currently I work night shift and at least half of the week I get to sleep only three to four hours before going to school. I sleep then an extra four hours after school, but it doesn’t feel particularly comfortable. Driving costs more money, but if I perhaps recalculate my expenses I might have enough money for gas and sleep at least half an hour longer.

For the social dimension, interacting with friends at work makes work more enjoyable and less

Several months ago I started a programming project that uses linear algebra to generate 3D tree models which so far has involved studying principles of software design, shading techniques, and some botany. I want to become a programmer, which means I have to be good at processing information to uncover patterns, and therefore intellectual health is fairly to important to me. I have always had a desk, paper, pens, pencils, an internet connection and access to libraries. Since my parents aren’t paying for my college expenses, community college and tuition reimbursement has enabled me to attend college anyways. Setting a timer before starting my homework might reduce procrastination and help me get everything done on time.

My strength for the occupational dimension is that I have a job and won’t need to borrow money to attain my Associate’s degree. This dimension is really important because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to afford to go to school and I would be stuck in the union for the rest of my life doing remedial work. It’s a part-time job, so I still have time to spend studying, and I also receive tuition reimbursement. During the winter break there’s usually enough work to work full time. I could strengthen this dimension by starting to search for internships during the summer
