Critical Thinking - During this semester I must say that the art of critical thinking has not only been learned but applied in my schooling as well as personal life. As I progress though this college experience, I am leaning to trust my ideas even when they don’t line up with the “normal order” of things because it will give space to new innovative ideas to form.
Reflection (Slide) - I have come to realize that not only is it important to reflect on your work and your college experience, but it is vitally important to allow time and space to do self-reflection. Evaluating one’s self doesn’t have to be negative, but in turn can be quite therapeutic. During this semester I had the opportunity to work on a play, something I had never done before. Near the end of this journey I realized that what I had embarked upon brought light and self confidence to a lot of areas I hadn’t dealt with.
Accountability and Problem Solving – This year I have had to be held accountable for quite a bit all at the same time. I have learned that for the times where you just don’t feel like doing something, you must hold accountable for not only the thing you missed and catch up but challenging yourself to reach beyond because there is no greater feeling that being ahead of the game. Mid way through the semester I came to the realization that I needed to come up with a new system to be not only held accountable but to allow myself to chart and plan ahead even though my blog shows I am working the calendar needs to show different. So in turn Problem Solving has been more than what I’ve expected it to be. It has been quite a useful tool and how I have conquered this problem was actually something I witnessed from one of my classmates. And that was making a huge obnoxious calendar and placed it in a very visible place that I visit often in my house, the kitchen sink. I made realistic goals for my days and felt exceptional when I would complete and surpass my own expectations.
