Midterm Exam Response
I feel that I have learned very valuable things in FYE:1000. For instance, new ways to handle stress in new situations and environments; dancing/exercising, relaxing and walking around to clear my mind seems to help me out the most. This holds many values, like staying fit and being able to stay in a stress free environment; which will benfit me emmensely.
Another strong benefit from this class is the idea to create short and long term goals. It really gets you motivated to pursue what you want to succeed in. I’ve been using this technique a lot this semester; I use it for work, school and every day happenings and it has provided many benefits. This technique will absoluely be a positive change in my life to help keep me organized and to keep growing as a person.
Learning how to prepare for a career is my last example of something valuable I’ve learned so far. Being taught to create a great resume is a big part of starting your career; you need to have a good first impression for potential employers. By following the guidlines in the book it will help me practice and get better for when i need to complete one for a potential job. Filling out a good job application is another step in getting a job/career, so learning how to fill one out neatly and fully is great advice to carry. Also, learning the ways to explore your job options, is to know where to find your resources; like the internet or television news programs. This would help me find what I am/could be interested in and help me move foreward. All of these techniques will be of value to me from the present to the future.
