2. I felt like giving up around the second or so week of class. There were so many assignments I had to do, and even though they were small and able to be done, the overall look of the multiple assignments overwhelmed me and made me stressed. I made myself pull through by thinking logically that it was only first few days of school, and I just needed to adjust to my new workload, and this helped me in the end. I feel like I have matured more in regards to entrepreneurship, but I tenacity is something I still have space to grow in. Assignments like the interviews are areas I still struggle in, so I see this as a sign that I have space to improve.
3. (1) Stay on top of your work. There is no need for you to freak out over your school work, especially if you worked on them in a good amount of time. (2) Give the class a good try. Yes, it will make you do things you may feel uncomfortable about, but the teacher will not ask the impossible from you. Also, if you have objections to an assignment for some reason, try to explain it to the teacher in a reasonable manner. This can make the overall situation less stressful for you and the instructor. (3) Don't put doubt in yourself. Doing assignments like interviews are intimidating, but you won't ever complete them if you keep doubting yourself. Ready yourself, assure yourself that the worst thing that can happen is someone says no, and then go for it.
Rosie,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your halfway reflection, and want you to know that you are not the only one who felt that way in the second week of this class. After I looked on canvas at the copious amounts of assignments, I was so overwhelmed and had no idea how I was going to tackle all of these. However, once I got in my groove of a new semester, it was easier to get on top of it and set aside time to tackle these obstacles. I agree with you that you definitely learn perseverance in this class. You did a great job of overcoming it and pushing on. I wish you the best of luck with the rest of the semester. Here is my reflection if you have time to read it: http://entrepreneurshipleslie.blogspot.com/2016/02/half-way-reflection.html
Rosie,
ReplyDeleteNot only did I agree with a lot of your reflection, I also loved the meme you included! I whole heartedly agree that you must be persistent with the work in this class, because there is A LOT of it. I also wrote about how you can't wait until the last day to do the assignments, and this is especially important when they include interviews with others. Additionally, I loved how you talked about giving the class "a good try". I think that a lot of people will take a look at all the assignments and feel like they don't need this amount of work in their life, but it has proven to be intellectually challenging. All in all, great post! You can check out my half-way reflection here: http://cassidymckbusiness.blogspot.com/2016/02/half-way-reflection.html
