Q1. Who did you speak with? Why did you choose this person?

Answer: spoke with Wilson James, I chose him because I feel he is calm and friendly.

Q2. Did you feel secure and comfortable sharing your thoughts and emotions with this
person? How did this impact your level of openness and vulnerability?
Answer: I felt secure and comfortable with Wilson, it was not easy to open up at first
but I was able to open up after I discovered he was willing to open up as well.

Q3. What did you learn about yourself and your needs for social connection through this
conversation? How will you incorporate these insights into future efforts to build
resilience?

Answer: I learned that I have built up a well to prevent my feelings from getting hurt, and
I also discovered that I need a stable friend. To incorporate this into building resilience, I
have to look within me to remind myself of the reason I started the journey.

Q4. Did you share any vulnerabilities or engage in deeper conversations than usual?
How did this impact your sense of trust and overall resilience?

Answer: I tried to share what I feel is not too personal, and mostly around my ALX
journey, this exercise showed me that there are people I can talk to and will listen. I
believe it has helped my sense of trust and resilience.

Answer: I will keep reminding myself of the reason why I started an endeavor in the first
place.
