What Are The Three Most Important Things You Learned This Fall?

Tell me about an assignment that was too difficult for you. How did you resolve the issue?

The last semester was a very challenging semester for me emotionally, physically, and mentally. I had recently had a change in my relationship status and was left alone to pay all the bills. The full-time schedule made it difficult for me to pick up hours at work. Being a single mother of three children, this had devastating consequences on my family financially. By mid-semester I was forced to work third shift and weekends to try to compensate for the wages I was losing. This dramatically

Name the assignment that was too difficult for you and how did you figure that issue out.

One of the things that I learned was that the Senate bill that got passed on to the House, provided a 13-year path to citizenship for the 11 million unauthorized immigrants in the country, as well as tough border security provisions that must be in place before the immigrants can gain legal status. I have never really paid much attention to the debate going on about immigrants, so this information was very interesting to me. Another piece of information I learned was that immigration reform will allow more immigrants to enter the US with a visa, not with a smuggler. It will require undocumented immigrants to register with the government, and go through government background security checks. In addition, I learned that, industries like agriculture, that require a large workforce and that can work long and physically demanding days, have been unable to plan their business strategies around a stable

I learned that our thinking can make bad decisions. Our thoughts can change with comparing things. We can say no to one thing, but if it is compared to something else that can change our mind. The comparison can make things look different in our mind to make us make a different decision. The information that I learned is important because it helps you to look at things differently now. Sometimes it is best to stick with your first choice or decision and can cause an irrational decision.

The Three things that I have learned about myself this semester are that I am determined to do whatever I can to finish my degree. I am willing to go above and beyond in order to complete my class work, homework and my classes. I have become more motivated and passionate about my career choices during this semester; I think it is because things are finally starting to fall in perspective for me.

There are many things that I could take away from this semester that would be useful in life. The experiential learning of actually seeing the activities being put into play helped me really see how the activity can and will help others. Also trying something new helped me see that horses can help heal more than just emotional states, it can help someone mentally understand what is happening in their life. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember and my connection with them have grown, by seeing them used in different ways to help heal

I have never tried marijuana and really don’t know anything about it, so these articles were interesting to me. One thing I learned was that, the cognitive process most clearly affected by marijuana is short-term memory. Another thing that I learned was that several studies have conducted that long-term marijuana smoking is not associated with elevated cancer risk. In addition, I learned that moderate marijuana smoking over a 20-year period was associated with reduced risk of head and neck cancer. I found these articles to be very educating and I enjoyed reading them.

Throughout the semester I have faced many difficult and different challenges. One major challenge has been to be acting as a single parent again. Recently my husband left for another deployment which has left me alone to care for our children. It has become my sole responsibility to take care of our children and transport them to and from daycare. I also have to make sure I have childcare lined up if I pick up shifts at work. Another thing that has fallen on my shoulders is the responsibility of all of the housework. Instead of having my husband's help with cleaning and putting laundry away, I now have to rely on myself, which I hate. Another challenge I have faced this semester is getting back into a good school routine. When I left high school

My greatest challenge in semester 1 is the rap I had to do for my history class and it was hard because I had to make a rap about a certain topic in history. What made it a lot harder for me was that I told my whole group to meet at the library so we can finish the rap but none of them would show up on any of the days I told them to come, so I pretty much had to do the whole project by myself. But what got me mad the most of all was the fact that they still got their points when they pretty much did anything except sing the song with me.

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

My favorite time of the year was coming to an end, as I had to say goodbye to those worry-free, beach-bum summer days. Summer had passed before my eyes and it was now the start of my sophomore year in college. I was enrolled in a couple psychology classes for my major and a Geology class that would count towards my GE. The semester before was not the best, as it had a negative impact on my grade point average. So here I am again, another semester hoping the same thing does not happen again.

As the year draws to a close, I reflect on what I have accomplished in my first semester of college. Not only have I grown as a writer but also as a person. This year was full of changes but I am glad that I remained steadfast in my beliefs and skills. While I learned things about myself in this course I also gained important writing and research skills.
