Exercise #1: Read blog. Check.
Exercise #2: The sound bite.
Carrying out dreams are most certainly possible through knowing one’s self, motivation, support, and getting the sometimes fun and sometimes not so fun work done and with little and big steps before you know it you will have a deep sense of pride for your accomplishments. (I know a long sentence, but it is hard to synthesize all that I have learned in one sentence because there is so many important things learned).
Exercise #3: Personal reflection.
1. I have grown in many ways from this class. This has been a great investment for my life now and for the future. I don’t even know yet the full impact that this class has had on me because I think that much of it still hasn’t fully sunk in yet, but I think it is safe to say that this class has had an overall positive impact on every facet of my life. Overall this class has challenged me to think and be a better me.
2. This course has really changed much of my thinking about many things. My knowledge of myself, leadership, love, goals, possibilities, my future, others/groups, and many more things have been changed in a positive way from this class. I have learned a lot about myself that will help me in figuring out where I should be occupationally and what I need to work on in relation to myself and others. Through reading about leadership I have learned so much on what a healthy leader looks like which will be tremendously beneficial for me and other people in my life. I loved our Hooks book about love! I did not anticipate learning about love in this class, but it is so important to think about. I also loved Palmer’s book which has helped me think about the depths of my heart and soul. The possibilities have been introduced in this class and I feel like I can just go crazy with my options. Before this class I did hold myself back when thinking about what I should do, but with Sher’s help I have realized why not dream as big and as often as I can! The class has also shown me the importance of what it really means to work with others, not only well, but in a genuine, carrying and honest way. Finally this has led me to think about my future and that I really do have a world of possibilities out there just waiting to be occupied if I can work hard enough (with support, networks, etc.) to cultivate and cradle the dream.
3. Before this class I have realized the importance of thinking and planning out my dream, but I have learned different and more effective ways to go about it. The importance of networking and planning out feasible daily, weekly, etc. goals is something that before this class I did not realize the importance of. The behavior of putting myself ‘out there’ when it comes to networking is a new thing that this class has pushed me to do. Making strategic goals, rather than the some broad goals, is a new behavior that before this class I did not know how to do.
4. The three best things about this class have been; the books/readings, group activities, and the ability to do self-exploration.
5. The three things I liked least about this class; switching up bonded groups, grading rubric, and that half way through the semester there were significant course changes with assignments (this threw me off track.6. I would change the above mentioned; keep grading the same throughout the semester, and keep the same groups together.
GREAT!
