At the beginning of the semester I was worried because I though this class was going to be really hard for me. The first days of class I was okay,but when I find out that I had to do an introductory speech I panicked. I am a very shy person and I don 't talk a lot, I know that this can be bad, but it is difficult for me to change. FYE made the right choice for me, with a group everything seems better. Throughout the semester there has been challenges for me in this class but I never gave up.

I just didn 't want to depend on people because they can disappoint you sometimes. I am a responsible person I like to do good in my classes and finish everything on time. Not many people are like me, sometimes they do not do anything because they know someone else can do it for them. College is different because I knew that it was going to be though, I did not want to be alone because it 's hard especially when doing presentations. Meeting my group members for the first time was okay, at first I did not talk to them because we were all really quiet. Most of the times people have to talk to me first in other for me to talk.

We were not perfect but we Learned to overcome those obstacles in order to do good in the class. This class benefits me with knowledge that I am ale to practice in other classes. Many classes will make me do presentations. Now I know that being in a group it 's easier for many reasons. When I cannot understand something I can ask them for help, there is more than one solution, more ideas and answers,
