FINAL REFLECTION ESSAY

     This semester was different I experience a change that never in my life time I would think to have exprince. Meeting my teacher's and classmate's through camera seemed a bit awkward very much out of the ordinary for a girl that would get ready early in morning and have to walk to school in order to meet her classmates and teachers. As time passed I managed to adapt to my new way of learning, even though there were some hardships in how much homework there would be for all my classes. I successfully improved and made a schedule for myself that worked. Making my classes more enjoyable to be part of during this period of time. 

    Looking back throughout our experience together in this class. One meaningful thing that has stay by my side is always' trying my best even though there could be a negative outcome'. By this I mean to not care what peoples opinions are if I should do something or not because at the end of the day me trying is what counts. I've personally experience this when I had over thirty assignments missing, As I thought it through I asked some of my closest friends if I should do it or not. Half of them said yes the other half said no saying it was too 'risky' to complete all those missing assignments for later on to get an email say it was too late.  I took the risk in completing all my missing assignments. As I did it I knew the out come would either be negative or positive, but for me I didn't really matter as much because all that matter is I tried my best to complete them. Instead of having to regret why didn't I try. Since then I've always tried to put my best foot forward even is the situation is negative.    

 

      My proudest moment I had throughout this semester is probably being able to find myself. I got to see what I truly wanted in my life and what things I should value more. This made me encounter hardships not only in school but in life. I had to stop pushing things to the side and actually try to do something to accomplish them because in life no one is going to do it for you unless you do it yourself. Helping me know what I wanted for my future which has made me the happiest because I had enter a phase of confusion if what I wanted was meant for me. Turns out working for someone is not something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Making these decisions have caused me to find happiness and success at the same time. Finding myself has truly been the proudest moment of my life.   

     Personally I if I were to do something different in this course it would be my timing on assignments. Even though it helped me find something meaningful it was extremely hard and very much exhausting. Procrastinating can be mentally draining and not something people deal with it easily. In the beginning I didn't think completing so many missing assignments in one day can be possible but it was. Although I felt accomplished I also felt disappointed due to the fact I knew I could do better then to push everything last minute. For this reason I would probably change my timing on when I complete my missing assignments. Making this more beneficial for me not to feel physical, mentally and emotionally drained.  

    The biggest thing this course has taught me that will actually benefit my future is learning how to managed  work or anything from home. Even if the world is in crisis we can still accomplish so many things from one place. I learned how to managed my stress and concern from one place. Making this very helpful if another crisis hits us again we now know what to do when we can't move from place to place. Making this the most beneficial thing for my future. 

    Another major thing this English class has taught is techniques for when I am reading or writing a prompt. They are called symbolism, syntax and tone these techniques give the reader what the author or the person writing an article is trying to project. If they're trying to give you an idea by using objects or arranging words in a differently. They can change tones of the characters when putting words in upper case or quoting their characters actions. This can help me get the information the author wants me to know when I read their book or article.   

         In conclusion this year has been very challenging but everyone of us managed to push through the circumstances. Learning new ways of teaching and being taught. Even if we are not entering the New Year in such positive way we are getting better and hopefully we'll  have greater success as time pass. I don't like to wish things would go back to the way they used to because why want to go to the past when you have things looking much brighter in the future. On that note let not wish for what we had in the past but lets wish for brighter future.
