Reflecions a Look Back on The Last 4 Weeks of Class
This is a look back on the last 4 weeks of class and what all I have and or improved upon the knowledge I already possessed in certain skills learned from my experience in writing, and working throughout my life so far.
In The Beginning Week 1:
"Alexander Graham Bell failed many times while attempting to transmit his
voice over a wire until he finally succeeded. A quote attributed to Bell:
‘When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so
regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the ones which open for
us’"
Reference: Thomas, 2011, p.I3.
In your discussion post, ponder the following questions: How many doors
have closed on you? How many times did you focus on that closed door
instead of looking for the opportunities that opened up? Please share an
example of a closed door and how you learned to overcome it. What
opportunities do you see opening up for yourself now that you are in school?
How do your personal strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, culture,
and other aspects that make you unique play into how you responded to
specific opportunities? How would you want to change or feel you need to
change in order to better capitalize on opportunities you have?

Look familiar? It should, it is what we all learned from day one to always
look for a way to keep on trying no matter what obstactables we encounter
upon this road of life we all travel upon. In week 1 we learned to introduce
ourselves better in personal and business situations, and also introduced
ourselves to this course and one another after all we’re all be together for
the next 3 years might as well get to know
