My seventh Inquiry was very stressful and induced a lot of nervousness. I think this was because of the short timeframe and the large amount of work to complete inside it.
The Business Challenge was really useful as it taught me the amazing perks of teamwork.
One of my goals was to be more efficient in the first week of inquiry by working on this goal it helped me to improve my learning because it taught me how less stressful it is to crank out most of the work before the deadline.
The goal I did the best with was to get more sleep to avoid burnout.
the reason it went so well was because I keep the lights off and avoid going on my phone 30 minutes before bed.
I was a bit frustrated with how one goal went because it was to work better with others and work with others more often to improve my teamwork skills. and although I learned the importance of teamwork, I could have done better coordinating the team and getting others on task.
Next time I will ask more questions to understand better where I am progressively this will help me because I will feel the pressure of the inquiry deadline sooner and I will feel more motivated.

I want to be a bigger critical thinker and be less gullible to fake news *Hauora* Every time I saw a controversial take or drama, I made sure to consider both side and develop an opinion that isn't one sided or biased. I applied this especially well during the nuclear bunker exercise when I judged the different characters and chose the people to stay in the bunker. I thought about the different traits of the characters and did my best to avoid personal bias.

I want to be more efficient in the first week of inquiry. I don't think that I reached this goal.
I was a bit frustrated with how one goal went because it was to be more efficient in the first week of inquiry. I got too comfortable during the first week and was unaware of how much work I needed to do.
I want to be able to work better with others and work with others more often to improve my teamwork skills. *teamwork* One of my goals was to be able to work better with others and work with others more often to improve my teamwork skills. *teamwork* by working on this goal it helped me to improve my learning because it taught me the value of being able to rely on others. I learned this when my team started to specialize. I realised that I didn't have to do all the work by myslef and I had my teammates to rely on
