2. 3 Assignments and Why I Think They Matter
Here are three of my favorite assignments or discussions from our class and why they matter to me.
Chapter 9: Portfolio Project
I like this assignment; it is by far my favorite assignment this semester. I like this assignment because I don’t feel
restricted by the instructions was provided. I like that I am able to utilize my imagination.
Chapter 9: Letter to the Next Class
I like this assignment because it allowed me to honestly express my views and opinions of this class. I like
as a student I am being asked for my take on this course. But most of all I like the idea that someone may
read what I have to say and use/ learn my experience to help themselves.
Chapter 1: Scavenger Hunt
This assignment matters to me because it got me find out more about Grayson. If I wouldn’t have
done this assignment I don’t think I would know a lot of things I now know about this school . I also
like this assignment because it can help other students learn certain things about this school that they
don’t already know.

3. 3 Journals and Why They are Meaningful to me
Chapter 8 : Journal Entry 29
This journal is meaningful for to me because it helped me understand just how easy emotions can
change. I learned by doing this journal that I can work through my emotions. That if necessary I can
overlook them by changing what I am thinking about.
This journal is meaningful to me because I learned that I am too hard on myself. I learned that I am far
more productive then I give myself credit for. However, I also learned that I still need improvements in
certain areas and now that I see that, I am working on fixing those areas of my life.
Chapter 4: Journal Entry 13

4. Which week I liked the most and why
My favorite week this semester would have to be week four. Week four includes Chapter 5
Employing Interdependence, Chapter 6 Gaining Self-Awareness, Chapter 7 Adopting Lifelong
Learning and Chapter 8 Developing Emotional Intelligence. I like this week the most because it
helped me open my eyes to my actions and it helped me understand where I needed help and how I
can correct my performance in school.

7. Self-Assessment Scores pt. 2
what I have learned about yourself
from this course.
I learned by retaking this assessment that I have improved a lot. I learned that while I have improved
that I still have a long way to go to end up where I want to be. One thing I noticed I need to work
on is working with others to help me when I need it.
