How To Write A Reflective Essay About Finishing Your Community Goals

Improved Essays
This semester I learned that I can multitask between making goals for myself and working on homework. I also learned that if I am motivated enough and make a goal that is really important to me I will end up finishing the goal. When I was finishing my community goals I found that they were the most rewarding and that I enjoyed doing things for others rather than myself. Whenever I was finishing my personal goals it was satisfying to make my car payment every month and to know that my credit is being built up in the process. For my student goals I went to every class except for one and it was because I became very sick and it did not affect my grades because I knew that I could get the notes from my friend.

It will be important for me to complete this goal because I have some difficult classes next semester and I will have to attend my classes in order to understand the material for tests. Next, I will try to be more organized with my schedule so that I can remember due dates and be able to study for my tests. I learned that it is easy to forget due dates and that I need to make a system that will remind me to do certain things that day. The goals that were the hardest for me to do were my community goals because outside of work and school, it is hard to find time for anything else. I want to continue doing my community work, so I decided to manage my time more wisely and get things done for school sooner than later. The goal that was the easiest was making sure I had enough money for my car payment because I already had money saved up for it, so I could try to cut back on that goal and work harder on my other ones. In the future I will try to make a schedule for when I want to do certain goals so that I have a system that helps me focus on one goal at a time instead of being stressed out over having so many

I am very fortunate for my parents sacrificing to pay for my education at Wesleyan because it is a college preparatory school.

    One goal I wish I had worked a little harder towards would be my participation in class discussions. I have always been really shy and especially quiet in class. Oftentimes I would know the answer to a question or have an idea, but not matter how hard I tried, I could not bring myself to raise my hand. I wish I had improved on this skill because in the upcoming years, it will become crucial for me to participate in class discussions. Another goal that I did not meet was improving my nonverbal delivery skills.…

    I did succeed in making my grades but by the last months of the semester I realize that the stress that came with procrastination wasn’t worth in ad I started working on time management. In high school the words time management are repeated but never really explains. I grew up hating the simple idea of time management, but I have since learned that is means balance. It is easy to think of staying in and doing nothing but studies, but true time management is the balancing the responsibilities you must complete and the things you want to do. This realization has taught me that I can have a “fun” college experience without forgetting the reason I am at a university.…
