Reflection

One of my experience in school that everyone has in common, would be stress. To reduce stress, everyone should be planning everything. The following plans that I have done for this week, would be my assignments for all of my curriculums. From all of my classes such as English, Reading, Statistics, and Psychology, I have to maintain my time to be organized and it takes a lot of effort to be doing all of my studies so I can balance my time for school and the time for myself. For my homework assignments, I planned it out by using the GOOGLE calendar. This method has kept me very organized for this whole week. I would receive notifications from my phone by letting me know when I have to study and when I can do my homework.  Based on my results, I did succeeded because it became very informal on my tasks because there has been several times that I have completed my work early without worrying about it. What I also have done with the GOOGLE calendar, would be writing down my work to make check off lists. This is another great method to be using because in case if I feel as if I am forgetting something that I have done, I would have my daily agenda with me at all time. I believe that there is no adjustments to make because with the GOOGLE calendar, I feel very confident about staying on my tasks that I have scheduled.

Reflection #2

The greatest impact in my life is having the support and the motivation from my trusted friend, Leo. I have never had that from anyone. When that happened, I began to do things that I wanted to do in life such as psychology. He persuaded me to continue in my education to have the career that I want. Every day during school, he always have hope for me to do well in my classes. When there is a time that I begin to have stress, he is there to make me comfortable and relaxing. He would always give me suggestions, such as, “Do not make things hard for yourself because that will not take you in a certain point where you want to succeed.” I have decided to make a variety of advantages to do well in class when it involves in extra credit, homework assignments, and being prepared for an exam. Also, he made me feel confidence about my decisions that I wanted to decide. My decision in life is to be a pschycoligist in the future, so I can have a great career and a great future too. One of the things that made me feel confident about myself is never giving up and try thing that I would like and wanting to do. Having an optimistic behavior is another key that brings me motivation. Becoming very positive makes my day easy because all I have to do in school is my work without thinking if it’s hard.
