Reflection:
Becoming a system analyst is already a difficult task, however, becoming a good system analyst is an
even tougher job. These characteristics are some traits I have not fully acquired, since these traits are
achieved when you work in companies or organizations. I believe that becoming a good system analyst
is something to work hard for since the traits needed do not come naturally for everyone.
