Advocacy
This semester has been one of the best semesters that I have had, because I have grown in so many different ways. One of the ways I have grown is advocating. Last year in my POL advocating was actually a area of growth for me. This year I feel much more comfortable talking to my teachers, I feel like I have a relationship with them. I don’t think I had a good relationship with my teachers last year, that is why I never felt confident in asking for help. This year I have advocated a lot in painting, so I can make my work beautiful work. I would not be able to advocate for myself this year if I didn’t have student teacher relationships.
Self Growth
Another skill I have learned this semester is my self growth from last year to this year. Last year I didn’t care about getting A’s. I only cared If I was failing, which resulted in me having C’s in all of my classes. This year has been different though, I started the year off with all my grades up. I started to think about what would happen if I tried to keep them up. The results of keeping my grades up has had a good impact on me. I have noticed that I am happier and I actually have a goal to reach.
Group Work
Animas has a lot of group projects and I feel like one of my growths is doing group projects. We just did a eye project in Biology and everything flowed perfectly. I enjoy group work because you can get everyone's opinion on a project. When I am working on my own I like to have someone else's feedback on what I should do. I don’t always trust my own ideas, even though they could be good. Even though group work is my strength I think that working on my own is a area for growth for me.
Room For Growth
Independent work
Even with my many growths, there is still room for improvement/areas for my growth.One of my areas of growth is working on my own. As I said previously I work well in group projects because I can get others opinions. When I am working by myself I don’t have my peers opinions, I like to know everyone agrees with the idea. I really struggle with almost all my classes, I can’t decide what I want to do for a art project, want to know how someone else did the math problem, Etc.
Procrastination
Procrastination is another one of my areas for growth. Sometimes procrastination is good for me because I work good under pressure, but lately It hasn’t been good. One of the projects that procrastination didn’t help me with was the alchemist reading. I didn’t want to read the book so I waited till the night before it was due I was up all night trying to get it done. I was able to get it done but the problem was I was up all night finishing the book and I was out of it all day. I didn’t feel good and it was really hard to get my work done.
Question
How can I relate projects to stuff I like to do.
