2. TOP THREE FAVORITE CLASS
ASSIGNMENTS
• DAPPS-GOAL SETTING ASSIGNMENT
 THIS ASSIGNMENT TAUGHT ME THE IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING
HOW TO SET GOALS. I HAD ALWAYS BEEN ONE WHO STRUGGLED
TO SET THEM. I WOULD SET HUGE, LONG TIME GOALS WITHOUT
SMALL ONES, SO BY THE TIME I MET A BIG GOAL I FELT LIKE I
HADN’T MADE ANY PROGRESS. HAVING SMALL, REALISTIC
GOALS IS ESSENTIAL TO HAVING BIG, LONG TIME GOALS.
• SERVICE LEARNING ASSIGNMENT
 I LEARNED JUST HOW MUCH A COUNSELOR FOR THE
YOUNGER KIDS ENCOUNTERS ON A DAILY BASIS. THEY
COULD HAVE A WHOLE DAY PLANNED AND MANY THINGS
WON’T GO AS THEY HOPED SO THEY HAVE TO ADJUST
QUICKLY AND ACCORDINGLY. I ALSO LEARNED HOW
IMPORTANT HELPING OTHER PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY KIDS, IS
TO ME.
• LETTER TO THE NEXT CLASS
 THIS ASSIGNMENT WAS MY TOP FAVORITE BECAUSE IT

3. TOP THREE FAVORITE JOURNALS
• SELF-ASSESSMENT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE COURSE
 THIS ASSIGNMENT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES BECAUSE IT MADE ME
SEE THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE. IT SHOWED ME THINGS ABOUT MYSELF I
DIDN’T KNOW I FELT. IT SHOWED ME THE THINGS THAT NEED
IMPROVEMENT LIKE PROCRASTINATING LESS. IT WAS EXTREMELY
ENLIGHTENING TO ME AND HELPED ME FACE THE THINGS I DIDN’T
WANT TO ACCEPT ABOUT MYSELF AND NEEDED TO WORK ON LIKE
SELF-MOTIVATION.
• JOURNAL ENTRY 11- USING SENSES TO DESCRIBE WHAT LIFE
WOULD BE IF I MET MY GOALS
 THIS JOURNAL WAS SO INTERESTING TO SIT DOWN AND DO, IT MADE
ME THINK ABOUT IT A LOT. ONCE I STARTED, I WAS ONLY FOCUSED ON
IT AND JUST BEING AS DESCRIPTIVE I COULD. I’VE ALWAYS LOVED
WRITING AND THIS JOURNAL ALLOWED ME TO SET TIME ASIDE TO DO
THAT. IT TAUGHT ME THAT IT’S GOOD TO JUST SIT DOWN AND WRITE,
TO TAKE TIME TO LOOK INTO WHAT I HAVE PLANNED FOR MY FUTURE.
• SELF–ASSESSMENT AT THE END
 THE SELF-ASSESSMENT TOWARDS THE END OF THE COURSE IS
ANOTHER FAVORITE BECAUSE IT TAUGHT ME THE PROGRESS I WAS
ABLE TO MAKE. IT SHOWED ME I CAN IMPROVE MYSELF WITH MINOR
CHANGES AND OF COURSE MAJOR CHANGES AS WELL. IT ALSO

4. FAVORITE MODULE
MY FAVORITE MODULE WAS MODULE 7
BECAUSE IT TAUGHT AND FOCUSED ON
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND HOW TO
DEAL WITH STRESS. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
ONE TO STRUGGLE WITH STRESS. STRESS
HAS DEFINITELY GOTTEN THE BEST OF ME AT
TIMES BUT NOW I HAVE TOOLS TO HELP ME
CALM DOWN AND TAKE THE SITUATION HEAD
ON. IT SHOWED ME THAT IT’S OKAY TO FALL
AS LONG AS I GET BACK UP, FIGHT HARDER,

THIS WAS MY
FAVORITE FROM
THE WHOLE
COURSE. IT WAS
CRAZY TO SEE
HOW MUCH I’VE
CHANGED FROM
BEGINNING TO
END. AT FIRST I
WAS A LITTLE
HESITANT TO
ANSWER HONESTLY
BUT THEN I
THOUGHT ABOUT
IT. I WOULDN’T
HAVE GOTTEN TO
LEARN AS MUCH AS
I DID HAD I BEEN
SCARED TO ADMIT

7. LETTER TO THE NEXT CLASS
• No one can truly help you if
you don’t help yourself first
• Things aren’t going to
magically fall into place without
hard work and effort

8. MORE HIGHLIGHTS FROM LETTER TO
THE NEXT CLASS
•Doing well in academia takes
time and well set goals
• Never stop striving to be a
better you but accept the things
you can’t change

9. GOALS ACHIEVED
If I had accomplished everything I wanted in life, I
would have traveled and experienced all the
world had to offer. I would have picked a good
place to settle down with my husband and maybe
have kids of my own or adopted. I would have
two chow chows and a cat or two. A big house on
the outskirts of a big city as a nice get away
without having to drive hours to get to the city. I

10. CONT’D
I would be a clinical psychologist working with
other psychologists to help people who are down
on themselves and I would also do a bit of writing
and photography on the side. My family would be
there to encourage me on my endeavors. I would
help those in need and show the world that being
empathetic isn’t all the bad it’s made out to be. I
would be content with who I am and still
