Reflection
To preface, I found the challenge presented by the class to be refreshing and thought-provoking and felt it allowed me to truly represent myself with each piece I wrote either in class or for an assignment. A truly great teacher comes along very rarely and for that I thank you. During my academic journey, I have not cared much for reading, writing, or the arts, and when I think back to my time in high school I found no inspiration in school and felt I learned nothing. Gradually I started to seek other channels of learning, taking courses online and starting businesses to learn how they work, in starting these endeavors I found a love for business and building something for myself, rather than just assignments to turn in to my instructors.
Throughout this class, I was able to find the motivation to give a strong effort on all my assignments and learned to always come to class prepared in a way no other English class has motivated me. I have used this motivation to start reading again, those assigned by the class and other business-related books, reigniting my fire for business which has dulled since leaving high school.
At work my boss has given me the opportunity to manage his stores when he isn't there, the ability to learn business firsthand through experience, how to respect and talk to people who need to respect you, and how to continuously set a strong example for the team.
In the future, I will continue to study, start new ventures, and work my hardest to ensure that I will reach whichever goal I set my sights on, and on that day, in the back of my mind, I will know that you were a part of that success.
vivi la vita magnificamente,
