Strengths: I believe that a strength that I've had this week is my ability to work well independently. I've had to do more this week on my own than I've ever had to do in my journalism class. It was a very good learning experience.
Weaknesses: My biggest weaknesses of the weak were my temper and attitude. Putting together my part of the broadcast was much more challenging than I had expected it to be. I am not the person to push through the stress easily. I have gotten frustrated and even teary-eyed, but I am starting to feel more relaxed with our package almost finished.
Opportunities: I have had so many opportunities this week that I am happy to have had. I have most importantly had the opportunity to learn. I have learned so much about broadcasting that I can take to my journalism class to work towards making a better broadcast for our school. I have had the opportunity to work with amazing journalists, and I couldn't have asked for better classmates this week.
Threats: A threat that I have had this week is letting my stress overcome me. There have been times where I didn't want to talk to anyone. I just wanted to go to my dorm-room and calm down. But I can say that I made it and that I'm working towards contributing to the amazing broadcast we'll put together by the end of the week.

SWOT
S: My strength was working well under pressure. When everything seemed to fall apart, my group was able to start up again and finish the project.
W: My weakness was my lack of experience. My school doesn't have a broadcast journalism department, so this week helped me build on my experience.
O: I had the opportunity to learn how to operate a news camera and learn the basics of final cut pro.
T: The biggest threat this week was the lack of time. With so much to learn and so little time, running out of time was a major threat the entire week.

Day 4: Self Evaluation
S- I believe my biggest strength was experience. Having worked with cameras and final cut pro before and having done newscasts in the past, I was able to do my job and also help others along the way.
W- I believe my biggest weakness was communication. I feel like as an executive member I should have been able to always tell everyone what's going on. At points it was apparent that my job was not done well.
O- I believe my biggest opportunity for the group was to make the opener. I'm glad I had the priviledge of editing all of those clips into something that really seemed to make anyone who watched it smile. It was a great feeling.
T- I believe my biggest threat to the group was that I occasionally may not have been serious as much as I should been. Often I was trying to crack jokes to lighten the mood for everyone but it may have been a few times too often. I need to learn to find that perfect medium.

SWOT
S: I believe my strengths are that I can get work done under crunch time, I take instruction carefully and meticulously, and that I step up to the plate to take on tasks that are not easy to do.
W: I believe my weakness is that I try too hard to control the situations I'm in and don't allow anyone to help me out.
O: I believe I had the opportunity to apply my broadcasting knowledge so far to this camp. It felt good for me to be around people with similar interests and I had a blast coming up with great ideas and applying them out in the field. I really think that this camp has furthered my understanding of broadcasting because it makes you feel like you're in a "real life" setting with real deadlines and real situations.
T: I believe the major threat, for me at least, was group cohesiveness. If we did not come together as a team and work those long hours, I don't think we would've been able to get done. However, we bit our lips and stuck it out to the end to see our final product through.
SWOT
S: For me, i am very dedicated, once i start something i don't finish until it is done and perfected.
W: My weakness is focusing, my mind wanders around instead of staying on task on what i should do/am doing
O: This is my first year in broadcasting and so i have never created a broadcast, i think it is super fun, but very tedious. This camp has been a huge opportunity for me to learn and really get the hang of it before going in this school year because i will really know more.
T: I think what is stopping me is the possibility of me not really going anywhere. I love broadcast but so many people are interested that you really have to be super confident in yourself and believe that you can do it.
Day 4: S.W.O.T
Strengths: My greatest strength would be my ability to generate ideas quickly.
Weaknesses: My laziness in my biggest weaknesses.
Opportunities: Being able to live in what might be my future college of choice would be my greatest opportunity. Other than that, being able to meet so many new people and being able to have fun while working on what will be The Best Broadcast Ever was an unforgettable opportunity.
Threats: My only threat from having a horrible camp experience would be my lack of sleep. But on the other hand, I have been sleep deprived since last Thursday (don't ask). :(
