WEEKLY RESOURCES
On or Before Day 3
Submit Part A and Part B as a single post.
Part A
In the Week 2 Worksheet, you brainstormed specific goals, skills, and accomplishments you will work towards over the course of your career. Pursuing goals, skills, and accomplishments, however, happens in the real world where rent is due, family members are getting married, babies need to be fed, and a million other details compete for your attention. With this in mind, describe your concerns.
In at least one paragraph (5-7 sentences), describe your greatest fears related to getting your degree and achieving your career goals.

In Part A of this discussion, your revision journey began. On this path, it is necessary to get outside of your own perspective. You make yourself vulnerable to others because your thoughts and ideas are sitting on the page for anyone to critique. However, there are many fearful experiences that are both necessary and rewarding. In David Kelly’s TED Talk, he outlines a process to navigate fears and unlock creativity. Think about these things, as you listen to Kelly’s talk.
In at least one paragraph (5-7 sentences), please do the following:
Introduce the TED Talk by author and title and tell what it is about in your own words.
Think back to the fears you describe in Part A and reflect on what you can do to change the way you see and/or deal with them. In the TED Talk, the inventor of the MRI machine re-designed the experience for children, to help alleviate their fears. How can you re-design or revise your own thoughts, ideas, and perceptions to see this journey in the most positive and empowering way?
At some point in your answer, use a direct quote from the TED Talk and follow it with at least one sentence of your own analysis of the quote. Use the written transcript below the TED Talk to find a quote. Click the link below to read about following your evidence with analysis:
