Reflecting

After reading my blog, I was kind of amazed but not really surprised. I feel the most I have grown in this course was my thinking and how I perceive everything and sometimes everyone. Every since that video on the Secret, I realized how I have to be on a day to day bases in order to get the things I need and want. Reading my blog, I believe it's obvious that I pretty much know what I want and where I want to be but because of the many obstacles that I have encountered in my life and will encounter in the future. I realized that there are so many things possible for me that I thought could never happen because I have been educated and taught to basically not settle and truly strive for the best because I deserve it.

I think the activity that I have engaged in the most since this course was putting myself out there. For example, the interviews we did with our role models and getting advice and learning their experiences and what it took them to get to where they are today. I was extremely terrified when I made my first call becasue I didnt know what to expect but when I began talking and getting to know the doctor, I became more relaxed and comfortable.

I cant really some up the three things I liked most about the course because I LOVED it all. Everything felt so inspirational to me and instead of someone just telling me what I needed to do, I finally had people who showed me how to do those things with or without the everyday road blocks. I really liked the choice of books choosen for the class to read because I could relate to them and questions I had and were afraid to ask sometimes, they seem to be answered by the books.

The only thing I liked least about the course is the documentaries length. After a few people talked it was fine, but when it felt ongoing and times you thought it was over it would start back over again became frustrating. The documentaries were very helpful dont get me wrong, but they were a little to long over due with the helpfulness.

The only improvement which can or cannot be helpful is the panel. However, I was fine without the panel because I still learned alot without them and my role models was like my panel anyways because I probably would have asked the panel the same questions I had asked my role models.

I really appreciate Dr. Rock and her effort to help us because she showed us that she cared about us and was really trying to show us good leadership and what we really had to do to become successful. Dr. Rock is a very successful woman who I admire as a role model of my own because she knows the value of hard work and dedication. THANKS! I HAD A BLAST IN THIS COURSE!
