As a student in the Year Up program I learned a lot about myself and the things that I can change as a person. I learn that my attitude will not get me to the place I need to be in life. I feel that my attitude at times is what going to be the fail off me but at the same time it’s going to the success of me. I can say that I am truly not that surprised about my attitude but I can’t change it overnight, it’s a day to day process that I have to take one day at a time. I also notice in this module that when I am outspoken I tend to be intimidating but not to my knowledge. The things I say I know can be offensive but I don’t mean it in any way. I know that the things I say can come off as rude or being mean but I don’t want it to come off like that.
When I look at my professional skills I feel that they are not where they need to be. I know that my professional skills need a lot of work and I am willing to make the changes I need to get them to where they need to be. From attitude to procrastination and even my loudness I know these are to the main focus I need to change to get to where I need to be.
I am not proud of myself at all from my actions and the way I come off to people. But at the same time the only thing I can do is approve them. I’m far from a bad person I just need to work on myself and the things that I know irritate me. I feel that things I did well in is making up for my mistakes that took place. I am not going to say that everything I did was bad because I know I am a good hardworking student that knows she is and will be successful one day.
