Personal Narrative Level 3 Unit 1

After completing Unit 1 this is my assessment:

I was excited that I finally completing Unit 1 this past Friday. So I pat myself on the back for putting in long hours and hard work of writing, editing, revising my assigned written material, before it was due.

Upon treating myself, with butter pecan ice cream, for this accomplishment, I began to revisit everything in Unit 1. And when I looked at my assignments and waiting for my grades to show up in the "Gradebook" tool tab, I had made some frightening discoveries. They were:

I was concerned about the "initial response" as meaning to initially respond to any discussion under the discussion tab....... not giving a response to topic #2. I did express concerns about being overwhelmed by the technology and the feeling that I'm getting lost because of multiple "clicks or clicking on links" throughout this online course.

I'm totally frightened now, that I will not turn in an assignment because simply, I'm not sure when it is actually due........

My fears had come true, I misinterpreted when and which assignments were actually due and turned them in, not knowing, that I turned them in late. But, this will be a learning experience for me to "buckle down" better.

In undergraduate school, my grades could have been better if I just asked more questions in order to clarify what I'm not sure of

    As I mentioned in the previous assignment, I want to increase my baseline 500 steps each week so that by the end of the semester I am recording 10,000 steps which is in the active range. I will continue walking around the property at work and stepping in place whenever I possibly can. I will stick to walking to the mailbox which is two blocks from home as opposed to driving up to it on my way home. If I have days where I am tired I will just give myself another pep talk. I have a pretty good support system thus far so I will lean on them if pushing myself on my own does not cut it.…

    The sidewalk beneath my feet has begun to erode away, pieces of rock and fragmented cement escaping onto the barren street. Weeds have sprouted between the cracks, and bright-yellow dandelions poke their faces towards a dull, overcast sky. My sister is dragging her feet. The soles of Layna’s shoes roll against the grit, and the grating noise gnaws away at my unravelled nerves.…

    Last semester was definitely the hardest for me. I have two challenging research papers toward the end of the semester. I find it hard because I did not know what to write about and which assignments I should start on first. I manage to overcome this challenge by narrowing the topics and start on the paper that was closest to deadline. My stress level was at 10 because I skip meals and stayed up all night long to finish my papers.…

What I did find though surprisingly did not surprise me .…

    The first, and most important, step to procrastinating a paper is having a class where you are forced to write a paper in order to get a good grade. For many, this may be hard, but it seems like I always manage to do it at least once a trimester. There are three main steps to procrastinating writing a paper, first you need to receive a paper to not write, then you have to spend a while not doing, and lastly, you have actually do the paper either last minute, or way late. Receiving a paper: sometimes this can be hard, some classes don’t offer very many papers to write. There are plenty of ways you can get a paper to write.…
