Favorite Class Assignments!One of my favorite class assignments
would have to be the service learning assignment. I really did
learn a lot about thrift stores and how they worked. It helped me
realize that even just my small amount of 7 hours earned meant the
world to them. It really gave me a boost in confidence. Another
assignment that was enjoyed would have to be the Dr. Chew videos.
Although some felt like they repeated others they all were so
informative and gave me new techniques on how to study better or
even retain information better. His videos will stick with me and
always be remembered when I need to study for a big test! For the
last favorite assignment, I would have to choose the class letter.
I know it was one of the last assignments we did, but I actually
got really excited to type the letter! I thought it was really fun
and great idea. Even if the next class doesnt actually read the
paper, It made me come to some great realizations while writing
it.
Favorite Journal Entries!My first favorite entry was the
Self-Assessment test at the beginning and end of this course. It
helps you see how well youve done and the areas in which need more
work. This assignment was very helpful and will help me better
achieve my goals outside of class.My second favorite entry would be
where we put our daily routines in quadrants that would help us see
which were truly more important. This helped me realize how much
time I wasted on unnecessary activities. It also helped me keep on
track with my goals. While completing this assignment I had a
reality check and noticed how much I was doing that was not getting
me anywhere near my goals! Finally, I liked the entry where we
really in depth on support systems. This assignment made me realize
that I didnt have much of a support system that actually helped. I
didnt work too hard on getting a better support system, at least
not as much as I should have, but I did try to make more friends at
school which I succeeded! My goal is to make more friends that will
better support me and my dreams!
Favorite Module!Module 6 is my all time favorite! Not only did
it have the service learning paper and the letter to the class, but
it also contained journal entries 29 & 33. Journal entry 29
helped me realize how much anger, frustration, happiness and joy
can affect my emotions. Journal entry 33 contained the last self
assessment test in it! So I was able to see how well or how bad I
did with learning. This module contained all my favorite
assignments and more!
Lessons to carry with me..I will always keep my goals written
down somewhere so I can better keep on track.I will carry around
Dr. Chews study techniques to better retain information in my
future courses.I will not let my emotions affect the way I do in my
classes or how well I achieve my goals.

After viewing these results, I was generally impressed and happy
with the accomplishments I had made! Although some sections may
have only been improved by a couple of points, I was happy that I
had done better than before. Of course I still have portions to
work on, but I already feel so much better than I did 7 weeks ago.
My head is in the game even more than before and I know I will
continue to improve throughout this semester and the next.

Class Letter Highlights
I have learned to take the time each week and focus and think in
depth about my goals.
It gives great advice and examples of ways to better improve
yourself and your studies without forcing it upon you.
This course is to help you succeed in college and also in life,
so if you miss an important step or get delayed on a goal youre
working towards, dont let it discourage you. Just find a different
technique and continue your journey even after finals.
If I complete all of my goals and dreams..I would be sitting at
a large desk in a big office of a 20 story tall building. I would
have a completion of a Bachelors in Business Administration from
Austin College hanging on my wall. I would have enough money to
help myself and my family out and be an all around happy woman!
I would be CEO of a large company or better yet, own my own
business! I would have my family and friends by my side. I would be
a very well accomplished woman for my age and my family would be
proud!
