Tony Sebree took a career assessment test which indicated he was well-suited for careers in veterinary medicine or archeology, though he did not plan to pursue those. He found the scavenger hunt assignment challenging but learned about support services available at his college. By completing an assignment on how the brain learns, he realized the importance of focus, concentration, and self-care. His favorite assignments were journal entries that helped him learn about himself and his strengths and weaknesses. He most enjoyed the first week which covered self-assessments and learning how to improve himself. Tony plans to carry lessons about improving study habits, self-reflection, and managing thoughts and emotions into future semesters. By taking this class

2.  I enjoyed working on the Grayson Link Career assignment the most in this class. I was able to
take the Holland assessment. I found out my Holland Code is IAS (Investigative 29, Artistic 23,
Social 21). Of the careers listed that fit my code I recognized two of the careers listed that I
would greatly enjoy Veterinarian and Archeologists. However, despite the two listed I do not
plan to continue my education in either of those careers.
 The Scavenger Hunt assignment was challenging. I had a difficult time locating all of the
required information. I actually learned a lot about what this college has to offer the students. I
didn’t know that tutoring services, writing assistance and the math hub services are all offered
free to students.
 Completing the assignment How the Brain Learns helped me to understand that there are
many factors that effect the way I learn. I learned ways to improve my concentration and focus.
I have tried to incorporate “brain brakes” and self-care. However, I haven’t had time to dedicate
to improve my self-care.
Three Favorite Assignments

3.  Week one journal entry was actually very interesting to me. I enjoyed learning about myself
by using the self-assessment. I did not know the results would be so low in most of the
sections. I was sad to see my scores, I felt a little discouraged at first but after reading that I
am in the medium range, I felt slightly better. After completing this journal, I began working
on improving different aspects of myself.
 The journal entry for week 2 really peeked my interest in this course. Initially I was skeptical
about whether I would get anything out of this class. I really had to take a hard look at
myself and put on paper my self-criticism. I really didn’t have an inner guide until this
journal entry.
 The final journal entry 33 from chapter 9 was also one of my favorites. I liked taking the self-
assessment questionnaire again to compare my scores from earlier on in the semester. I was
glad to see that most of my scores increased in a majority of the sections.

4. Favorite Module
 I would have to say my favorite week of this course would have to
be week one. I really was not looking forward to this class and after
completing week one I discovered that I was really interested in the
material. I really got into doing the self-assessments and learning
about myself. I realized I had several areas I can improve on. I also
learned for the first time how to upload a photo. The TypeFocus
discussion was very thought-provoking as well. I learned a lot about
myself within the very first week of this course.

5.  Three lessons I have learned and hope to carryon with me to the next
semester are how I can improve my study and work habits. I didn’t
really have an idea about how to better my abilities to study until I
learned several different methods. Secondly, I learned how to really
look at myself and not only critique/criticize myself but create ways to
improve or overcome some of my self-defeating thoughts and
behaviors. Lastly, I would have to say I was surprised to learn how my
thought's, emotions, and actions are tied together. When I changed the
way I talked to myself it also changed the way I felt, leading to me
getting my work completed on time. I have learned a significant
amount about myself throughout this course and am glad I took it. I
hope to carry on these lessons not only to the next semester but
throughout my life.
Three Lessons to Carryon

6.  I never thought I could make anything of myself
or that I would be able to better myself. However,
this class has really helped me see the thought
process behind most of the decisions I make. Fear
has held me back most of my life. This class has
also taught me that I don’t have to be afraid of
challenging myself. I have been able to really
looked at myself and see my flaws and also create
a game plan of how to overcome those flaws and
be successful.
