LAST ASSIGNMENT: REFLECTION

I can achieve all my goals no matter the size by taken one step towards it at a time.

Throughout this class I have learned that if you can stop prolonging actions that will ge you to where you want to be, you can already be there. Aonther key thing that I learned in this class was that I need to be able to overcome my fears of failing. I learned that sometimes it is okay to make mistakes because everyone might not get it the first time around, but it counts if you have learned from the mistake that was made.

I have seenmyself grow so much from this whole semester alone. Before starting this class, I was just a student in a university just thinking alone that I need to finish school. I had ideas of what I wanted to do after I was to graduate, but I still felt lost as to how I could map out every step of the way to where I wanted to be. Honestly, I would come to class sometimes feeling discouraged becasue of the fact that I never had a success story to give. I would just come to class and try to think of something that made me at least feel like I was productive with my life, but I couldn't really think of anything. I just knew what I enjoyed doing, but yet I was still lost as to what would be a great career field for me to actually pursue. When I was making my planning wall and flow chart, this really opened my eyes to how my life should be abled to be mapped out. It is like a map of my whole life. Without one, it would be like me going through life blind.

In a way, I feel that this course has made me more mature. It actually forced me to think about my future, whereas before I was just going through life as it came to me. I believe that it taught me to manage my everyday tasks better and it made me set goals and deadlines to meet these goals. After even watching some of the documentaries, I have also realized that whatever I have set in my mind that I would like to achieve, I can achieve it!. It is just the matter of me getting into action, staying positive, and knowing that I can get what I want. I feel as if I can always look back on this class and take all the fundamentals that I have learned, I can use this to create and set up a successful future for myself.

3 things I liked best about Leadership for Change:
-the discussions on the readings
-the documentaries watched
-the support groups & buddy system (Success Stories)
1 thing I liked least about Leadership fpr Change
-the speed dating activity w/ flow chart
One thing that I would improve for this course is that more time should be given to dicuss the videos watched after the free-write.

I am glad that I took this course because throughtout this semester it helped me find my way.
I really enjoyed the course and the people it was spent with that made it a wonderful experience!
