Assignment 14: Halfway Reflection

1. The behaviors that I have developed are time management skills and accountability. Time management so that I can plan out my tasks and accountability so that I do them on time and also either watch or go to the lectures for each lesson.

2. A moment where I wanted to give up was when I didn’t get accepted into UF coming out of high school. I didn’t really think that I could ever go to this school but I kept trying to find a way in and I decided to go to Santa Fe and eventually transfer over. It took a lot of work and dedication but I eventually was able to transfer here after two years of school. What pulled me through were my friends here in Gainesville that inspired and supported me throughout my journey through Santa Fe College. I think that these past two months have developed my tenacious attitude because this is a more difficult school in a competitive setting so it has given me some challenges to overcome.

3. The three tips I would offer to next semester’s students are do the assignments before the due date, go to or watch every lecture, and be accountable for your own performance.

    Hello Jonathan,

    I agree with you that time management is a behavior that is learned and must be constantly learned to be a high functioning individual. I really liked your tenaciousness when you did not get accepted into UF and you kept trying your best to achieve your dreams. I think that is very admirable. As long as you have this mentality, you will eventually succeed.

    Hello Jonathan,

    I do believe that this post is very beneficial to students entering the class. you are right that leaving things to the last minute is not a good idea due to the fact that sometimes the assignment can have many steps that can make it difficult to do them. i also liked the picture you used for this assignment, it show the character you should have when you finish your assignments on time. Great job.

    Hi, Jonathan
    I think this will great advice for students that are considering to take this class and are trying to be successful in it. I believe if you are focused and prepared in this class and manage your time wisely in this class that you should be fine. However, if you try and put off this and wait until the last minute to due assignments eventually it will catch up to you.

Assignment 7: Testing the Hypothesis Part 1

1) The opportunity that I wish to pursue is the coordination of recreational sports. 2) The opportunity I have identified is that people have a hard time coordinating recreational sports and often times end up settling for times that don’t fit their schedules. The who of this situation are those who wish to play recreational but have trouble coordinating the events. This is because of many reasons but mainly it is a scheduling issue and the fact that sports require a lot of people to play an actual game. 3) From what I have observed from the previous assignments, I have seen that there are a lot of people who find it hard to schedule recreational sports with others for several different reasons. I believe that this need applies to all sports that people want to play but it is mainly seen in the younger community. Most of the time, people blame the fact that they all have differing schedules with their friends, so they cannot gather the proper amount of people to play...

Assignment 27: Reading Reflection No.3

1.        What surprised me the most about the Wright Brothers is that they lived in their family home when they were 30 and began to take interest in their invention at this age. What I admire most about them is that they took on a challenge that everyone thought was impossible and actually made it happen. What I least admire about them is that they still stayed at the family home as adults but this really doesn’t bother me that much; there’s not much I can find that I hate about them from reading this book. One thing that they had to face was a venue to launch and land their flying machine and gliders so that they would not get destroyed in the process. This would obviously be very challenging back in the day without technology. 2.        Some competencies that I noticed were their creativity and imagination capabilities. They had been dreaming about aeronautics for their whole life and they eventually acted upon these dr...
