My Bad Habits

 One of my bad habits is forgetting how to cite my essays properly. Whenever the requirement comes up, I would have to research how to cite correctly for websites, books, articles, and in-text information. I review old essays, look at notes from English 101, read articles from online sources, or watch YouTube videos. It's always a struggle to remember this information after learning it each time. I realize this is an area I should work on. I'm currently studying to become a diesel mechanic, and these skills seem unnecessary. But one day, I know that I'll need this information. I understand that knowing how to cite information is essential in fields like journalism, academic research, or teaching English. Since I want to retain this information, I think one way to do that is to try writing an academic essay where proper citations are required. I could also write notes about citations and refer back to them as needed.

Future Presentations

I am currently in an apprenticeship with Empire Caterpillar, training to become a technician. As an apprentice, I don't do any public speaking, but I know I need to get good at public speaking in the future if I want to move up in the company. At Empire CAT, they have daily meetings where the shop lead announces what everyone is going to do throughout the day and discusses any concerns for the day. Additionally, we have weekly safety meetings, where the lead also discusses the safety topics for the week. So, if I ever want to become a lead for a shop, I need to practice public speaking or presentations. I do have to take a communication or public speaking class as it is a part of my pathway to graduate with an associate's degree in Caterpillar Technician Training.

In the workplace, it is useful because it guides someone to become better for the company. It highlights flaws that someone may not see or recognize on their own. It's important to only use constructive criticism when you genuinely want to help someone, not to bring them down. There is definitely a right way and a wrong way to deliver this type of feedback. It's best to do it in private to avoid embarrassing the person. Always try to be positive and offer examples of what they did well, along with suggestions for improvement. Personally, I handle constructive criticism well because I understand that nobody is perfect, including myself. I am continuously learning and striving to do my best in every situation. When delivered correctly, criticism can be very helpful for my growth and development. Embracing feedback helps me improve and move forw...
