Reflection

 

This past quarter has been a huge learning experience for me, especially in how I manage my time and understand new concepts. I discovered that I learn best when I break big projects down into smaller pieces instead of trying to do everything at once. I also found out that I’m actually better at analyzing complex topics than I thought, as long as I stay focused on the "why" behind what I’m learning rather than just memorizing facts. These discoveries have helped me feel more confident in my classes and more aware of how I actually process information. 

It wasn't all easy, though, because I ran into some pretty big challenges with staying organized and avoiding burnout. There were times when I felt overwhelmed by how much work was piling up, and I struggled to keep my logical thoughts consistent when moving from one subject to another. To handle this, I started using better planning tools and forced myself to double-check my work more carefully. I learned to ask for help when a prompt or assignment was confusing instead of just guessing, which really helped me stop making small, avoidable mistakes. 

Moving on, I will focus on being more proactive and getting ahead of my assignments before they become stressful. I want to keep working on my problem-solving skills and try to look at things from different perspectives so I can give more thoughtful answers. My goal is to stay consistent with my new habits and keep pushing myself to learn more deeply, rather than just doing the bare minimum. I’m excited to take what I’ve learned this quarter and use it to finish the rest of the year strong.
