The first thing that comes to mind, is me doing makeup. Before I started doing makeup, I did not read books or articles or attend lectures to teach me. I simply picked up brushes, palettes and started practicing as I went. If I didn't like the outcome, I would simply try again with different techniques.

I am not from the United States, so when I moved everything was different. I didn't know English so when I started school I didn't know what I was doing. But I learned how to float by observing my classmates. I followed their actions, I picked up English from them and slowly I started to blend in.

This past week, all of my professors have required for me to submit assignments that require reflection. For example, reading assignments. I read articles and I have to do activities that require for me to reflect on what I read. A lot of what I read is new information and therefore, it is important for me to make notes, ask questions, do my own research on the topic to

I have also found myself discussing my school work with my mother. If I find something interesting, I go to her and summarize what I found important. I share with her my point of view and what I take from the readings.

Doing this assignment and all other assignments. I do them because I know that in order to pass my classes, I must get good grades. I need good grades so that I can graduate with a degree that will help me achieve my career goals.

Currently, I am working on improving my computer skills, I know the basics but I know that if I really learned how certain things work, I can get the most use out of computers. I don't know when the next time i'll be in a classroom will be and therefore, I have to adjust. I have set a goal and mob drive will help me achieve that.

When I was in High School, I was enrolled in Aviation classes. My teacher, would lecture the class to try to explain aerodynamics. It was a concept that needed to be explained by using different methods.  It would have been more effective if we were given real life examples so that it could resonate with us.

During my time at Southwest, one of my education classes required for me to complete a problem based assignment. The problem was "guns in schools," I had to do research on the history, the outcomes etc. It was very effective in the way that by a lot of my research stuck with me, it made me more aware of what can happen.

Since all of my classes are virtual now, discussion post have taken over the in class experience. We post our thoughts and we are able to read our classmate thoughts and respond to them. Technology makes this possible, we're all around the city but we are still able to communicate

Since I can remember, teachers always try to incorporate group work. My previous education classes incorporated a lot of team activities such as discussions, role play, and games. We all hear each others ideas and draw from them which leads to a deeper form of thinking.
