Final Reflection

Global has taught me more concepts and valuable lessons than i can even remember. But throughout the entire year if there is one concept i will never forget its that you better be working your hardest because if you aren't then there is for sure someone else who is. We have been taught to always be doing something productive and never limit yourself in your education. This theme has been reiterated many times by smith in our 4th period class and probably in 3rd period as well. For example i remember specifically one day when not everyone had their notebooks out for class to start, so he made us stand for 15 minutes. This may have seemed a bit harsh at the time but looking back i can see that he just wanted to remind us to always be prepared for class. We need to always be on top of our game in this class and alot of that pressure is put on to us. I know several teachers who pretty much baby us the entire year to ensure we get a good grade. But in Global the responsibility is placed on you to succeed and earn the grade you deserve. We are given papers and expected to read them on our own and complete the assignment and if you aren't on top of that then its your fault. I like this kind of structure because it gives us more freedom and responsibility to do what we want. I have learned that through this process i have become more driven to complete my work right as it is handed to me and not delay. I think this lesson will be extremely useful in college and help me in my future career.
