2. Top 3 Assignments
 1. The first assignment I chose is the Scavenger Hunt. It
was one of the first assignments that we did, and I picked
it because it taught me a lot of things about our campus.
For example, I had no idea there was a gym.
 2. The second one I picked is the Blog Reflection. The
article that was included in this assignment was very
interesting, and it made question how much I didn’t know.
This has caused me to spend more time learning how
things work.
 3. The final assignment that I’m including on this list is the
Week 1 Discussion Board. Not only did I get to learn more
about my classmates, but I was also very intrigued by the
video that was included in it. I now consciously attempt to
word the things I say in a more effective way.

3. Top 3 Journals
 1. The first journal I chose is journal three. I chose
this journal because it made me realize how excited I
was to graduate from college. This gave me more
motivation to do well in all of my classes.
 2. The second journal that I decided on is journal
four. This journal caused me to see how much time I
waste. I learned that I spend way too much time
doing unimportant things, and that maybe I don’t
have time to do my annual re-watch of Scrubs on
Netflix anymore.
 3. Last but not least, I picked journal 9. From this
journal I learned just how much I have improved over
the course of this class. Sure, not all of my scores
improved, but a lot of them did. And I’m quite proud
of that.

4. Favorite Week
 If I had to pick a favorite week it would
be this week (week 5). During this week
I began to see just how much I have
improved, and that this class made a
difference. I also enjoyed the
assignments for this week. Especially
journal 9 which I mentioned earlier. I
also really enjoyed working on this
Powerpoint.

5. Three Lessons I’ve Learned
 1. That I need to take responsibility for all
of the things in my life. I am responsible for
what happens to me, and where I end up. I
can’t blame others for my problems.
 2. With hard work I can achieve nearly
everything that I set my mind to.
 3. I need to stop getting distracted by
things. Whether it’s going on Reddit,
watching YouTube videos, or Netflix. I can’t
keep wasting as much time as I do on
these things. Especially if I want to be
successful.
