Learning Through Mistakes And Actions 

How I There are many different ways that someone can learn. Some people learn through readings or just by listening. Personally, I learn the most through reflection since it allows me to think back on life experiences. This exposes me to different points of view in situations and allows me to think back on my mistakes in order to build resilience. I feel like challenges are what makes me grow and help me understand myself because it allows me to think about my actions. In my life what makes me learn the most is reflecting on my mistakes and turning difficult moments into lessons.

One time I had to learn through reflecting on my mistakes was when I disrespected my uncle. There once was a time  when I disrespected my uncle during an argument because I let my emotions take control over me. In the end, looking back, I hurt my favorite uncle, damaged our relationship, and I regretted my behavior. This moment taught me how important it is to be respectful, have emotional control, and think before speaking or acting. Since that situation, I’ve tried to communicate calmly with my family and handle conflict in a more mature way. The impact that this experience has in my life is that I think before reacting and I try to stay calm.

Another experience I learned through was struggling in one of my classes. The outcome was that I felt really frustrated, asked everyone for help, and started developing  better study habits. At first, I was feeling a little down because I was not really understanding the material and it was obvious because my grades weren’t that good. This taught me a lot about perseverance, having discipline, and even the value of asking people around you for help. Now I take my assignments more seriously, I have way better time planning, and I do not give up on things that might feel overwhelming. Through this experience I became more responsible as a student and it made me realize that struggles make me grow.

I’ve also learned important lessons through personal disappointment. Another example of how I learned was through a heartbreak and personal disappointment. This forced me to focus a lot more on myself. The outcome was emotional pain but most importantly, a period of self-reflection and growth. This heartbreak taught me self-worth and independence by understanding how important protecting my peace is. I now prioritize my goals, self-improvement, and protect my emotional health all by focusing on the important things like school. Going through this experience helped a lot to understand that hard emotions teach valuable lessons.

In the end, all of these experiences help me realize that I learn when life challenges me. I’ve learned that I am resilient when it comes down to things like challenges, whether that be personal or educational. I am reflective when it comes down to my actions involving disagreements. When I turn difficult moments into lessons, they help me grow into a better person. All of this proves that people can learn through many ways, not just by reading or listening.

Artifact :Learning Vignettes 

1)Something that made me realize how powerful stories can be are the times that I’ve
judged people without getting to actually know them. Sometimes we make assumptions about
people because they look a certain way, the places that they come from, or what other people
have told us about them. After watching Adichie’s talk I learned that we have to see peoples full
experience and get to know them because when we assume first I’m just creating a single story.
Now I know that assuming things quickly shapes my thinking and affects how I see others.
2) After watching the discussion board etiquette video I know what mistakes not to make
when communicating online. When I post on a discussion board I don’t really think about my
tone but now I know that in academic discussions it is important to be respectful and clear. One
example of what we should never use are slang words. I’m way more intentional about how I
respond to my classmates.
3) This helped me realize that sometimes my perspective doesn’t matter and that
understanding other people takes listening and often being more open minded

Reflection week 6-Rhetorical Situation of LA

For this learning analysis essay my purpose was to reflect on a real life experience explain how this situation shaped me. My audience was my professor, so I tried to keep things as clear and thoughtful as possible. The context was academic but still personal so I had to balance both.I believe I achieved my goals because I explained my experiences and what I learned from them. However I could’ve made my essay stronger I had included more details in some parts to strengthen the analysis. This assignment helped me better understand how to reflect on personal experiences while organizing my ideas clearly for an academic audience.
