The skills and traits that are required to be an interdisciplinarian are many. To lead a life with much accomplishment you would have to obtain a certain skill and trait to reach your goals. You will not need all the traits and skills in the world to be successful but one or two is enough. Today I will share two traits and skills that I obtain. In my life humor and humility are what helps me enjoy and appreciate life.
Willingness to work with other :"Interdisciplinarity is often a collaborative process. One person, no matter how thoroughly trained, will never have a complete understanding of any given problem or issue" (Repko pg 24)
I have always loved working in groups or with a partner. I have always thought two heads are better than one. Sometimes we think we don’t need help in anything but everyone lacks in something, and asking for help never hurts anyone. What we cannot see in ourselves or work, another peer can help improve it. I love lending a help when I see someone needs it the reward of that is bigger than staying quiet.
Appreciation of diversity: “This means simply, having respect for people holding different views, devoted to different faith traditions, and coming from different racial backgrounds” (Repko pg25)

I love culture diversity and my background. I love learning from different cultures their beliefs, food, customs, religion, and customs. Learning from other cultures helps you understand them as who they are. Sometimes we judge without understanding why someone dresses, smells, acts, or speaks a certain way. Appreciating who you are makes you stronger with your community and friends. I love learning about my culture and experiencing different things .Culture diversity is what makes this whole world we are al different andthat’s what makes us unique and special.
Two Skills
Ability to think creatively and intuitively: “No interdisciplinary is complete without the ability to imagine” (Repko pg 27)

Creativity helps us make things unique and less boring. I am a very creative person that has a lot of imagination. People tell me I have the imagination of a kid and I daydream a lot. My imagination is what makes me the person that I am. I like to make something simple look appealing .Working with kids has helped me see things in a more abstract way. Being simple minded will not help me in a classroom with kids that their attention span is very low. Creativity makes everything more fun and appealing.
Ability to think dialectically: “By dialectically we mean any systematic reasoning or argument that places side by side opposing ideas for the purpose of seeking to resolve their conflict” (Repko pg 26).

I am a very dialectically with problems that I encounter. I like to find every detail of what the problem is. I am analytic and like to understand the problem with its negative and positive information. I integrate all the informational and get a more clear and comprehensive understanding of the problem. Sometimes the negatives are what explains the problems and leads you to the answer. I like to find different ways to solve a problem.
