Throughout this semester, I have learned a lot. Being in the program, there is always something new each and everyday. Two negative thought that I have had over of this semester is not being able to properly learn how to use an instrument and not having enough time to do other things besides studying.

This contributes to my negative thought because it is my fault that I don’t make time for other things.

My new positive thought will help me get rid of my negative thoughts and help me
