For us on theBaja it is important to be creative and building a really good product. This is something we do every year as far as to designing the car and building it. This means we have to be innovative too. Being a part of a team has learned us about teamwork, respect and being valued, developing skills with tools, order and structure and having fun! It is important that we meet deadlines with the car and that we learn how to use our time in a productive, efficient way. As a group of female engineers building a car, we want to have a positive impact on others, especially young girls, and the society.
My personal values is reflected in some of these values. For me, Baja is about having fun and learning new skills. It is also important for me in my personal life. I was once told to always have fun while learning something new. This will help me work on my creative side, as well as the problem solving aspect. For me, it is really importent to be respected for who you are and what you stand for. It is important, when being a part of a group, that you can be who you are and that you feel valued and heard. For Baja, we have had to pull a few all-nighter, because our time management has been a little off. This can happen in my personal life some times too. I have a bad habit of holding off on doing something I don't want to do, and that is something I need to improve.
For me, as an individual, it isn't really necessary to stand out and have a big impact on society. If I can have an impact on one or two persons, I have managed to reach a goal that means a lot to me. For Baja, we try to reach out to everyone, at school and in society. We want to show that this is what we have done and that we are proud of it!
