2. Favorite Assignments
❖ Scavenger Hunt:
o I enjoyed this assignment because it was really fun and super easy. This assignment made
me realize that there are more resources available to students than I thought there were.
I’m glad I was able to find out about these resources because I ended up actually using
some of them and I will probably use them more in the future.
❖ Introduction and TypeFocus Discussion:
o I liked this assignment because I liked reading everyone’s post I found them to be very
interesting. I liked learning about my classmates and seeing what I have in common with
them. It was nice to know I am not the only one trying to figure out my life.
❖ GraysonCareer Link Assignment:
o I am so glad I did this assignment because it helped me figure out what I wanted to major
in. I found out I wanted to major in dental assisting and I learned so much about it. I found
this assignment really interesting and very helpful.

3. Favorite Journals
❖ Journal Entry 11:
o I really liked this journal because it was super fun. Writing this journal and Imagining what it would
be like/feel to graduate from college was a great feeling and it made really motivated to reach this
goal. I will continue to use this technique in the future to help me reach my most important goals.
❖ Journal Entry 7:
o I enjoyed this journal because it showed me something that I really need to work on. I learned that I
need to listen to my inner guide more and not be so hard on myself. It also showed me to that I
shouldn’t blaming other people or things when things go wrong.
❖ Journal Entry 29:
o I liked this journal a lot because it helped me understand and also control my emotions. I thought it
was interesting to find out how your present emotions could change so easily by just thinking or
writing about something in the past that made you happy, sad, etc. This journal also gave me ideas
about how to manage my emotions better.

4. Favorite Week
❖ My favorite week would have to be the first week. I liked this
week because I got to find out what this class was going to be
like. The first assignments were pretty cool and also pretty easy. I
also liked this week because I liked meeting professor Kermanian
and all my classmates they both turned out to be really cool
which made me feel a lot better about this class.

scores went up I know that I should
continue to workon all of them. My

Believing in Myself.

7. Grayson Link Assignment
❖ I found this assignment very helpful to me. My Holland code is
SCR (Social, Conventional, Realistic). Before doing this
assignment, I didn’t really know what I wanted to major in or
what I wanted to be. After doing this assignment and reading
about the different careers I found out that I wanted to be a
dental assistant. I found out a lot about being a dental assistant
and it sounds like something I would not only be good at but
something I would also really enjoy. Plus, I also found out there
was a program for it here at Grayson which is really cool.
