Family:

My family consists of 4 members. My parents, my sester and me.n My parents are strong

people which I consider because theyre hard working every day and still can find the way to

make themseves happy. There is 10 years difference between them. Thats good for my

father, because for him mom will be always young.

My MotherLubica is working 20 km from my city as a Constructer of robotic hands. She is

great person who can handle every situation and also she handled me. She looks young and

her personality is one of the kindest I have ever seen.

My father Jan is working as an electrician in one small company. His marrige with my mom

was his second one. He went thru divorce and hard family problems, but with help of my

mother this strong man made it out of it. I am really proud on him.

My sister Zuzana is studiing and working in Capital os Slovakia- Bratislava. Shes studiing last

year of Economics. We were always fighting but after we started to live apart we are never

fighting again and we are kind and polite to each otcher.

Jn:I was born on 16th of martch in 1992 in city called Trencin. I am the youngest member of our

family. On my 7 th birthday my parents signed me in a folk dance group called,,Radost,,which means ,,Happines,, where I staied for 4 years. Since then I started to love

dance and I was always joining dancing groups where it was possible. On age 16 I joined local

baseball team and also started to play frisbee. As many of my friends always could, I couldnt

draw, so I started to learn it. I started with legal grafitty, but later faces buildings and

unrealistic drawings.I feel good when I write, so im separating time just to write articles

poetry, opinions etc. I like to enjoy the present moment.

When I graduated my high school I wasnt accepted to colleges in Slovakia that I wanted. It

was hard period of my life but everything bad is on something good. I had to start to live life

as an adult. I moved out of my parents and found a job in telephone company in our capital

Bratislava. After few months I started my abroad experience.I moved to Greece where I was working in international team of 20 people. 7 months of hard

work forced me to think in responsible way. Straight from greece I went to Danmark-

Horsens where I started my study as a Construction architect.

When I put it together I am tring to do my best in things I am doing and improve them.

Im trying to find things that I love and force myself to love things which I consider usefull.

Even if its hard I have to put my hobbies by side, because thats not the priority why am

I here.

Why constructing architect(CA)?To tell the truth, when I started this programe I didnt actually know what is it all about and

what am I going to learn. I started CA beacuse this programe was the only one that I was at

least a little bit interested. But what I know now? Since I was 14 yers old I starded to work inall part time jobs that I could. Most of them was on a building site. Also me and my father

were building and repairing houses together for many years. I realized that what am

I learning here is really interesting for me and I have practicall knowlege about it. What

means that sometimes I can consider it as a hobby, which is just perfect. Everything what we

are learning in this programme can I use in my future life. Depands just on me how am

I going to manage it.

PERSONAL SWOT ANALYSIS

Strong abilities1.Organizing/Planning-In my life I had to start to plan my things, because its the best way

how to make a lot of things in certain time. Here we are learning how to do it better and

I am getting better every week.

2.Perseverance- My motto is ,,Never give up,,. Life is hard and if something is hard to reach,

I know that if you will not give up trying, ou will reach it. Important is do estabilish good

priorities.

3.Hard working-Without hard work there is no profit later.

4.Friendlyness/sympathy-Its easy for me to make friends and understand how actually the

person is. Sometimes i feel too much with other people and after it hurts or they use it

against me, thats why I am trying to push a bit this ability.

5.Leadership-I am not perfect leader, but I can realize when to do things ad explain to

people that they just simply have to do thir thing on time. Good leader should be big part of

team.

6.Smile in sad situations- even when the actuall situation is depressing and sad there is

alway the way how to smile and find something possitive. Its hard, but it worth for doing it.

7.Honesty-every time tell the true, and yours opinions

8.Ideas-sometimes I can stop myself and use time just to find new ideas, and sometimes are

ideas good.

9.Motivation

10.Detail- Im not using it so much because I am not so good at finishing details and make my

work look completely proffesional, but I have good sense for detail, and I know that nice

detail is big part of project.


7/17

11. Adaptability

Weak abilities1.Memory-Often I have problems to memorise my priorities, and why am I actually doing

things. Thats why planning is so important for me.

2.Accepting ideas- Often I have problems to accept others ideas and I think that my was is

the good one.

3.Creativity-I feel sometimes that I am not really creative, even if I try.

4.Speed- in some things I am a little bit slower, but I more often I finish them on time.5.Finishes

6.Realize my ideas-even if I have good ideas its hard to realize them.

7.Awernes/Shynes -Often I am shy for my ideas or ask stupid questions, even if I know that

there is no stupid question. and scared of ,,what if,, I am fighting this by just simply doing

those things and not thinking about what can happen.

8.Sympathy

Every day I am trying to get rid of my weaknesses that I know about. Practice makes perfect.

Opportuneties &

AmbitionsSince I arrived at this place I am realizing

every day more and more opportuneties, and

it makes me want to do more things. Its just

amazing learning envyroment, but its just on

me if I am going to use it.

Fist the ones concerning the reason why am

I here and that is study :

Continuing the studies: After bachellor

degree i tis possible to go tu study Masters degree even to another country or another city.

Erasmus: It is possible to choose one country and go to study abroad. Its a very good

experience for young student to visit and study in another countr

Practical placementwe will work in real company, this will just prepare us for real working

after .

School is open:our school is open 24/7 and all her accesories are avaliable for students.

IT skills: Using computer programs every day is improving our skills and speed.

Second thinks that I like to do:

Learning Danish:We have opportunity to learn new language which I catched and its in my

plan to speak fluently in few years.

Danceand sports: If we want to relax from study there is a sportcentre where we can spent

time for our hobbies. In my case it is dancing and frisbee.

What was I doing during the 1st semester?

As I mentioned upper I didnt know what everything should I expect from first semester, but

imediately as we started I started to realize what I want I want to and what I will do. Firste

we had small introduction to school, its completely new system of learning, envyroment, so

it takes its time. We started to form one team(class), beacuse in such a team like this i tis

easy to help eachother and learn from others. Teambuilding went good in my opinion since

we are the only one class in this semester, I really think we are lucky to be in composition of

people like this. I also found friends in my class. So one team was divided in 7 groups. Most

of them are mixed international students, so we have to speak english, and actually learn

how to work with the people. For everybody is new and many people doesnt know

themselves in those situations, so its hard to cooperate with them. Patience and staing calm

is important.

Learning to learn/Problem based learning

All the first semester we have been learning how to learn. It was based on Problem based

learning which consists: Recieving of problemfind the solution how to solve it by

ourselves. My opinion about it is that its great way of learning.

My learning strategy


12/17

Jan page 12

My lerning strategy composes realizing what should I do, plan the time when and how will

I do it, find all the necessary information and read it until I will not understad it,

workig(making project/assignment/things I planned). In the end Im trying to control

everything before the deadline is commig.

Group n. 3

My group consists of 3 members from different countries:

Andor AndyRomaniaShikeep SheevaAfganistanJn ura SlovakiaEverybody in our group is ambitious and trying to be as much polite and equal to other

members as he can. We are sharing our work, ideas and opinions and we are trying to

respect it. The only problem is speed, which we are trying to fix. I a sattisfied with my group

for now, even if I learned from completely different things than I expected.

Working envyromentI am satified with my working envyroment, my classmates are brainwashed to team thinkink

which is good. Everybody is friendly and helfull. It is very comfortable working working

space in our class. Sometimes its not like this but I am not focusing myself on it.

Conclusion

Firs semester passed out very quickly. After almost 2 years break I started to study,and it was very hard to accept the life of student and the acting of the other peoplehere. One saying sais,,more you learn less you know,, and I realized its like this. Ilearned a lot of things this semester and I am just realizing how little do I know. Goodthing is that I want to know more. I am looking forward to study and understand more

interesting things not just in school, but also in life here. I am aware that many times Iwill make mistakes, but I can just learn from them.I will do my best to be better next semester, and handle my time planning withoutstress and problems.
