In almost every class I’ve taken thus far at the University of Maryland, my expectation to succeed has been set high.

the third session compared to the first session. This was due to the fact that I understood that I still need to improve my skills during the third session. I became more conscious about what I should do, what I should say and how I could lead to a better conversation. I was worried about what if I was not helping the client, and what if I did not do well on the last session. I started to think more about what I should say, what the real problem is that the client had, and how to reflect so that…

primary focus. It would be a disservice to myself if I ignore the teachings of my instructor; an option I do not consider to be a viable one. Learning the proper writing techniques is key to become a better writer. For this reason, I plan to utilize the available online tutorials and resources to better understand. Admittedly it will not come easily to me, I must deepen my writing process even more by peeling back the layers to perfect my writings. After all, my writings quickly become…
