My professor, Dr. Cynthia Morris, was truly kind, open-minded woman, she demonstrated and taught the Psych 1300 course curriculum extremely well. In addition, the course benefited me in various ways. Dr. Morris demonstrated the significance of time, studying, and connecting with others on a much deeper level. Given that, taking this course opened my eyes towards the actions and perspectives I take on education, life, people and the world around me. For example, for every chapter powerpoint Dr.Morris disclosed, there would be videos in the beginning and the end.

Many of the chapters included tips on studying, managing your time and life, and understanding the concepts of college. If it wasn’t for these tips I probably would’ve been extremely unprepared for my dual credit classes in the Fall. The chapters made me realize the enormous issue I have with time management and procrastination.

    When I first started Richland Community College, I thought it was going to be a breeze because of it being a community college. From the first week of it though, I realized this is not going to be a walk in the park. I realized I will have to put in extra time to study for tests and writing expansive papers.

The class has also granted me new friends, who have helped me whether it be helping me understand the lesson, or sharing their study methods and materials.…

    My second year of high school was difficult for me as I had taken on my first AP class and I had learned that my aunt had been diagnosed with cancer. That year took a toll on my grades, overall GPA, and class ranking, which all went down because I focused all of my attention solely on my one AP class.

Junior year, I was determined to obtain a higher GPA and a better class ranking, and as a result I would skip out on family events when I had homework to do…

    Final Course Reflection When I began the journey of learning the content of human growth and development, I was overwhelmed at the thought of having to understand so much content in just five weeks.

I assumed that as an aspiring school counselor, that understanding the growth and development of children ages 5 to 19 would be sufficient. My initial thoughts proved to be wrong, and further prove why this class would such a foundational course for me in my pursuit of becoming a professional school counselor.…
