Mr Borgerding Reflection Essay

I learned a lot from the Black Lives Matter discussion. It was great seeing people around my age speak so eloquently and passionately about an organization working to make a change in society. I got a better understanding of what the network was.

I have learned how to ask better questions and to talk to my teachers when I need help or do not understand the concept well. I make sure that I have a relationship with my teachers and introduce myself at the beginning of each semester. Learning how to communicate with my teachers

For closure I would like to call on students at random and ask them what we learned today, if they cannot answer I will call on another student to help them out with their answer. I will then give a quick preview of what we will learn tomorrow and then connect how we can use this information in our everyday lives

In many ways, the most enlightening thing I learned today was hearing all the opinions of my classmates. When we all sat together in a circle together and discussed what our opinions were on the questions assigned, mysteriously I felt a lot closer to my classmates. It may sound a bit cliché, but it was almost as if there was a bond formed from that moment. From that mere twenty minutes of discussion time that we had, I learned a lot more things about the way my classmates thought than I have in these past three days I have known them. It was especially enlightening when I stated something and my classmates were there to pitch into what I had thought. Of course, at the same time, it was fun when I heard different viewpoints than mine, like Johnathan's

American History taught me many things that I use and plan to use of a daily basis. It taught me that I should listen to everything in history and learn from it. The main lesson that I learned in history this year was that even though there may be a lot of pressure on you, you can still do what you think is right. This was presented to me through the writing of the constitution and Lincoln’s abolishing of slavery.

I also learned that there is more to life, especially for married people, than just going to work and coming back to bed to sleep. I suddenly found out about something that was never mentioned in our house: Sex!

An important learning experience was the summer of 2014. I'm in this program called Upward Bound and it helps high school students get into college and they prepare them for their future. During the summer we stay at the local college dorms for 6 weeks. Every student gets to know the other students very well. We become a family of sorts. The summer of 2014 was one of my worst summers staying at the dorms. There were to many different personalities living in one place at the same time. Ex boyfriends and girlfriends in one area, while new relationships were forming between them. Students began to butt heads and friendships were being tested. It really was like our own real life soap opera. I learned from that summer that if a situation does not

What I have learned is some patience to listen to other’s ideas and perspectives, even if I don’t agree. During this year I have learned to accept other people’s perspectives. There is one boy and he has very strong opinions about everything and anything. One Wednesday during community circle we were talking about women’s rights/ abortion, let’s just say he had a very diverse opinion. I always end up disagreeing with him but I have learned that he has a right to express his opinion and I have a right to express mine.

I learned a lot from them as they learned a lot from me. The trust we had enabled us to develop bonds, mature, and open up to the freshmen. We established a comfortable

I think the one thing that I really learned is that not everyone sticks around. I thought going into high school that i’d have the same friends the entire time, that these were my best friends; again, I was wrong. Some of my friends moved away, others we grew apart, and a couple are still around. My best friend of nine years moved away last year and that was kinda difficult, but she still makes time when she can. The people that I grew apart from ended up going down a path that I didn’t want to be apart of. Losing people can be pretty difficult, but I learned that the only person that is truly there for me, is me.

I learned that you should not underestimate yourself, because you are capable of so much more than you realize. I also learned not to jump to conclusions. I immediately jumped to the conclusion that I wouldn’t make it past the preliminaries, but with hard work and determination I was able to make it to the Honors Recital for the first time. The third and most important lesson that I learned was to not give up. To give up is to lose before you even start. You cheat yourself out of what you could have accomplished.

I learned that people who are bullied need our support, love, and care. What people do not realize is that the bully also needs help and we should not judge them based on what they have done. Bullying is not something someone should be proud of but for others, they could try to understand why people bully and what causes this to happen What has impacted me the most on this topic is the science behind bullying and how it related to psychology. For the first time, I learned that science plays a big part in people’s lives and how it affects our everyday lives. Also, that no should be bullied for being themselves. We are all different and should not be looked down on for being yourself. I learned that bystanders are important to stopping bullying.

Q1 What do you consider were the three most important things (planned or unplanned) that you learned last year? Please also briefly describe how they were learned?

What I didn’t learn from my highschool class is how to properly set goals. I didn’t know that there was a process and I didn’t realize how helpful it is writing down goals and physically seeing them. I was able to learn S.M.A.R.T goals which helps you structure your goals to a achievable standard. I also learned the different types of goals like long term, short term, and immediate. I learn how important goal setting can be and how it helps you better achieve them.

I did learn a lot at first semester. First and the most important things that I think I learned is that time-planning which helped me organized the time well which dragged me out of the mass life, at least I know what I need to do and never forget and late for the homework. In my opinion, organized time well is important no matter on study or in lives which can always inform us what we need to do and what time is available for us to do other things that make life more orderly. Besides, I also learned how to use resource that afford by school. Before the facilitator told me those resources, there had so many things that I have no idea who could help me. After knowing this, I felt like open a door that to a continent life for me. I have to say that there have so many resources for me in school, I can do anything with the help of them and which really makes me feel easy
