Final Reflection

In this year that I have taken global I've learned many different concepts and through this class I believe that I've become a better person and have learned meaningful concepts that'll help me in my future. If I had to choose one concept that I've learned it's to think before I speak. All my life I was always a talker, not much of a thinker. I'd always blurt out different things and then after I thought about it and then realized what I said was not very bright. The time that it really hit me was during first semester when I was talking to Mr. Smith and I don't remember exactly what I said but it wasn't the smartest. After that moment he slaughtered me with his words and from there I learned to be careful with my words. I've experienced this in class and many times I've resisted raising my hand because now I really did think about what I was planning to say. Today I've realized that the words coming out of my mouth is now clearer and better said. From what I've learned, thinking before I speak will affect me in and out of school. This is a simple skill that I've just recently learned and I'm grateful that it happened in Global Connections before I graduate from high school.
