Halfway Reflection

    The behaviors that I have used to keep up with the requirements of this course are to WRITE out all the assignments for the entire course in a planner or calendar system. Making the most out of your time is critical to stay on top of this class. I remember deadlines more if I WRITE them rather than TYPE them. Also, every week I wrote that they are all due by 12pm until the end of the semester. By emphasizing that they are all due by 12pm every week, it permanently imprinted the deadline in my head to ensure I wouldn't forget any assignments and their requirements. Actually, for the assignment Elevator Pitch No.1 that was due two weeks ago, I felt like giving up. This was because I wasn't sure that my Elevator Pitch was good enough until I checked the assignments for the rest of the semester, and I noticed this was only Elevator Pitch No. 1 out of 3 for the entire semester. This let me know that my Elevator Pitch was and is a work in progress.

    I believe that I have developed a tenacious attitude during these 2 months that have caused me to push farther than what is expected of me. This semester I decided to buckle down and take 16 credit hours this summer, which is extremely intense. I know! I decided to revamp my routine and wake every day at 7am and start working on school work and as well as enhance my professional development skills through leadership and public speaking opportunities. The experiences that most likely contributed to this were those getting to know my professors more profoundly as well as seeking out the business career services to assist me in pursuing an internship for my Fall semester. My three tips for an upcoming student in this class would be to I haven't done this yet. Still, to foster and develop tenacious skills (I will do during this Halfway summer break) I would recommend the future student to send their Elevator Pitch to Professor Pryor for feedback, to read every single one of the comments students have said on your posts, and take notes on what is expressed in the video as it can be beneficial in your future endeavor with business. To develop a tenacious mindset, I believe that you must start by waking up early so you start your day refreshed and ready to take on the world and all the tasks on hand. To foster the skills of being tenacious, you must understand there is a big difference between staying busy and staying productive.
