Here we are: The end of another semester at Inver Hills. Seems like yesterday that the semester just started. Can't believe it's almost over. I guess it's true what they say: Time flies when your having fun. I suppose that I should reflect what I learned over the course of the semester.
First, I will admit that I thought I was a good (not great) communicator. I was wrong on all counts. Taking this class helped me wake up to all forms of communication. It's hard to believe that it interpersonal communications can be difficult to maintain without the proper tools. I know that everyone has conflicts in their life. However, I was lacking the skills to overcome conflicts in my relationships, no matter how small or big the relationship is. Another big one was delveoping relationships and maintaing them. I know that people in your life will come and go. That's part of life. However, it is important to maintain the relationships you have with others, even if it is a 5 minute meeting.
Second, the blogging project. This helped me learn more about myself. I know I kept on saying that this project would help me with my writing skills for that high powered journalism job in the future, but it helped me realize things about myself that I never noticed in the past. It helped me realize how people act in certain ways, how even the slighted stories can help wake someone up regarding that particular person.
Third, to me, out of my four classes I took this semester, I felt like this was one of the most valuable classes I took. I've been wanting to take it for the longest time but could never fit it into my school schedule. I'm glad that I was able to do that this semester. I'm going to take everything I learned this semester and hold on to them for future use.
