Self Reflection

I was initially suppose to take European History for my senior year, but conflict with scheduling did not allow me to do that. So when I found out that I was taking AP History, I was kinda disappointed in a sense because I wanted my senior year to be freed up. I knew that I was up for a challenge. My counselor told me that It would look really good on my report card whether it would transfer over to a college credit or not. It won't in my case because I will be majoring in Nursing and I don't have any history classes. (Just the sciences) But I felt that God ordained this for a reason. I was willing to accept the challenge and to do my very best. I'm a go-getter and I always finish what I start, no matter what. I feel that this course was challenging in a good way. It helped me to realize what the college life and work atmosphere would be like. This course also pushed me with out a doubt to do the very best work that was capable of me doing.
I feel that my strengths in this class was me doing my work at all times, taking good notes, doing good project work, and just doing my very best in all. My weakness would have to be that i could have studied harder at times to improve my test grades. But not even that, I think the issue was that i would study too hard and when it came time to test at some points, my mind would freeze up, or better yet, it would be test anxiety. But now i know what to do and how to better plan my study time so that when things like that come up, I am more prepared.
I think the skill that was most beneficial to me by taking this course was my note taking. I learned how to shorthand my notes and not write down every little detail. I used to do this a lot, and then I would miss out on what the teacher was trying to teach us. In all I really enjoyed this course and I know it will benefit me when I go to college this August and in the real world!
