Final Reflection

There are many valuable and meaningful concepts that I've learned throughout this year in Global Connections. But overall the most important thing I've learned in Global is the ability to combat procrastination. In the beginning of the year, I would scramble the night before notebook checks to finish all the remaining reflections and responses. I definitely procrastinated on my Personal Portfolio Project, leaving it to the last week or so to finish it all. I learned my lesson, only getting a B when I was hoping for a better grade. After that, I learned that I couldn't leave things to the last minute if I wanted to turn in A material, especially in this class. I began doing reflections and responses in my notebook immediately after the video or subject we learned, giving me more time to work on projects. This allowed me to have more time on my Senior Project, allowing me to turn in a final project that I was much more satisfied with. As a result, I got a grade I was much happier with. Procrastinating is something everybody does to a certain extent, learning how to combat it properly is essential to succeeding in a competitive environment.
