Final Reflection/ 30A
1) The toughest moments in this class I think were finding 10 (new) people to interview. I am not an outgoing person and I really just wanted to interview people I know. A lot of the assignments made me go outside of my box and talk to strangers about my business or ask them questions I normally don't feel comfortable asking people.
2) The best experience I had was talking to the owners of the Asian market/ cafe I like to visit. I have always been friendly to them but talking to them about opening a vegetarian restaurant was very informative. They even told me that they are planning to open their own here in town soon! I am very much looking forward to supporting their local business.
3) I think I have a better attitude when it comes to taking risks. I know that the reward a risk may lead to will far outweigh the loss that may happen. Failing is okay and almost guaranteed, the only way to succeed is to fail. And once you fail at failing, you will know success.
4) I have to say this is the most redundant class I have ever taken. I would give future students the warning of doing the same assignment over and over and over again. It got old and very frustrating but easy in a way because like I said, we did the same thing over and over and over again. Students will need to also need to get used to talking to strangers.

I agree whole heartedly with everything you said. Finding people for interviews was kind of difficult but I think the feedback was interesting. The problem for me was the redundancy as you said. We did the same assignments over and over again. Eventually I felt like I ran out of relevant people in my life to interview. Sure I could find new people to interview but they didn't have much valuable to add to my project.
ReplyDeleteHey! I also think I have a better attitude about taking risks. Before this class, I was scared of obstacles, but I feel like I am now less inclined to quit so easily. Now I see obstacles as more of an opportunity to figure out how to solve a problem or figure out ways to deal with them. I hope you have a great break. I have enjoyed reading your blog!
