Half-way Reflection

After these first two months, I would tell a future student that they need to invest time in this course. I say invest because when you invest time in something you get something in return. When you spend time on something, you usually get nothing in return. This goes for all classes that we take in college. I would also tell them that they are going to have to do things that might make them uncomfortable at first, but it gets easier over time. A behavior that I have improved upon is staying focused wen something needs to get done.
There was a point in this course where I saw how many exercises there were and I almost backed out because I did not think I would have the time, because of how many courses I am taking, and because of my work schedule. I sat down with my mom and talked with her about it and she told me at my age she had the same issue. She told me to take it one day at a time and everything will be fine when it is said and done. Because of what she told me, I was able to make it this far and I have no plans on stopping. I definitely feel that I have developed a tenacious mindset.

Tip #1: Invest time in this course
Tip #2: Be aware of what you are posting on your blog
Tip #3: Prepare yourself to break out of your comfort zone

  1. Brandon, I can totally relate when it comes to the course load in the beginning of this course. For a long while I really thought that maybe this class wasn't worth putting all that effort into it but sure enough, I took it day by day and now I have gained valuable experiences because of it.

  2. Brandon,
    I really enjoyed your post and I couldn't agree with your tips more, I just wish I could get myself to follow them!! It is an extremely hands on class, and slackers will struggle throughout the semester if they are unable to get out of their comfort zone. I really liked your picture, very appropiate for the topic! Good luck with the second half of the semester!!
