I hope you are all doing well! I have decided to reopen OA #13. There seems to be some miscommunication on my part and I apologize for that. This is assignment is worth 25 points, which is more than other OAs, so the expectations are higher in terms of the quality of work.

For the assignment, make sure you answer ALL of the following questions AND include a completed copy of your Cultural Awareness Self Assessment. (I have linked the assessment down below.) I am aware that we did the assessment in class, but please submit the assessment and the answers to the following question on canvas.

What do you think you can do to strengthen these 3 areas? Download Cultural Awareness_self_assessment Revised.pdf

Which of the following components of ICC—motivation, mindfulness, cognitive flexibility, and tolerance for uncertainty—do you think you are most competent at, and which one needs the most work? Identify how you became so competent at the first one and some ways that you can improve the second one.
