Overcoming Challenges with Confidence
The heroes have been evaluating their work and effort as they arrive at the final two weeks in their Architecture Quest. They recognized the challenges they have to overcome in order to achieve their goals to do excellent work. Many heroes shared about their plans to improve their work and processes. Some heroes admitted their need to focus and avoid distractions in order to demonstrate excellent work. When heroes shared about some challenges they were facing during their quest, other heroes showed eagerness to give some suggestions and offer a helping hand. Other heroes were grateful for the ideas and help they received from friends’ feedback on their projects. When some heroes expressed their need for materials, other heroes brought materials from home to share with everyone. Even when faced with the challenge of building their very own playhouse using wood scraps, the heroes did not back down and went right to work. There was no challenge that was too big for the heroes because together they had strength, determination, and confidence.
